As you know it can be very expensive to attract new customers.
You can cut down on those expenses by "up selling" to those new
customers. For example, let's say you're selling a computer with
a 15" monitor for $120. You tell people they can upgrade to a
17" monitor for only $200 more. That's up selling! Your goal is
to get more money out of the first sale. Below are ten up
selling strategies you can use to increase your profits.
1. Deluxe Up sell-You could sell a basic product and tell people
for a little more money they can receive the deluxe edition.
2. Money Up sell-You could offer people the rights to sell the
product they are buying from your business. You could charge an
extra $30 dollars to get the reproduction rights.
3. Discount Up sell-If you're selling a product people may order
again in the future like shave gel, you could offer them a
second can of shave gel at a discount.
4. Time Up sell-If you're selling a product or service people
subscribe to, like a magazine, you could tell them if they
subscribe for two years instead of one, they can receive it half
off the cover price.
5. Quantity Up sell-This is similar to the discount up sell. The
only difference is you increase the discount by how many
products they order. If they order 3 it's a 10% discount, if
they order 5 it's a 15% discount.
6. Package Up sell-When you're selling a product you could offer
similar products in a package deal. Tell the people the other
products are cheaper with the package deal versus purchasing
them separately.
7. Affiliate Up sell-When you're selling a product you could
offer someone else's product as an up sell. You would have to
make a commission on the product in order to profit.
8. Free Up sell-You could offer a free sample or trial of your
product (your first sale would be free) and then tell people if
they order the full version right now they will get a discount.
9. Extra Up sell-There are many things you could charge extra
for at the time of sale. It could be gift wrapping, imprinting,
custom designs, etc.
10. Extended Up sell-If your product comes with a warranty, you
could ask people if they would like to extend the warranty one
more year for only $30.
In conclusion, you can use one or all these strategies to
increase your profits at the point of sale. Don't be afraid to
use your imagination to come up with other up sell strategies.
