Fast Cash: Have a Draw, Buy 1, Get 1 Free, then Contact Your Past Customers

More ideas for today! :)

Draws

Splurge and offer your customers the chance to win a really awesome prize. The catch… they have to buy something in order to get their name into the draw, and the more they buy, the more entries they get. The better the prize the higher your chances are of getting people to participate.

Buy 1, Get 1 Free

People love free stuff! Send out a promotion to your mailing list telling folks about your hot deal. If they buy 1 of your products, they get another for FREE. Don’t forget to place a value on the free product so your customers know that what they’re getting is valuable.

Contact Your Past Customers

Get creative and come up with a plan to get in touch with all your past customers. Doing so will remind them that you exist, and that they liked you enough to buy from you in the past. Send them a friendly email saying thanks for being a customer, and because you appreciate their business, you are giving them a special offer.
Your offer could be a coupon, a freebie, a buy 1 get one free deal, or any number of things that will encourage them to check you out and take advantage of your offer. Contacting past customers is something you should do on a regular basis anyway. Just because they bought from you once doesn’t mean they’ll return. Life gets in the way, computers crash and info is lost, so make sure it lands in their hands periodically.
In the future, whenever your sales slow down or become non-existent, gear up for a marketing campaign that will blow the socks off your competition. Don’t be afraid to put some sweat into the process, because you will reap the rewards!
