The customers are becoming savvyer by the day. Offer added value such as good aftersales. Offer the customers to get to know about more advanced products you sell. If a customer is coming to your store for a toothbrush let them also know that there are various types of toothbrushes are available for different prices and various functions. Such as toothbrushes to clean your toungue.

Focus on a set of marketing tactics.

Get information by keeping an eye on the salesrecords. If a product do not sell well. You might want to promote it more or if it is in overstock you might want to offer it with discounts or remove it from the product range. The cause might be why a product do not perfom how it should be could be if there is a new version are sold by the competition. In this case you need to also create a new version of the product such as advanced product with better functionalities.

Keep the existing customers statisfied.

The current clientbase is a great asset. They know what your offering for relevant prices. They know what types of quality you offer. They are willing to buy from you because you have gained trust from them. If you bring out new products the existing clientbase will be the first to buy from you. Offer discounts, free samples and the opportunity to review your new products in return for prizes. Upsell products to customers who come for a golf cap to your store. You also can offer sweatbands or sunglasses if they are interested.

If you are lawyer then offer a houseparty to get to know the clients more and to take you both from the formal sphere. Create a personal touch to make you be able to you and your clients mutual have benefits. If you are a dairy product wholesale business then give your customers a phone call to offer that there is a new product is released such as mango flavoured milk is now for sell. You can send e-mails but this is less personal than a voice call or a phone call.
