The knack of great up-selling comes with knowing your customers and adhering to their interests. When targeting emails be aware of your customer needs and shopping habits. Knowing customer demands, while creating your email list will enable you to divide them and target accordingly. Once customer satisfaction and trust is truly developed you can target other products of their interest. Gain customer confidence by serving what they want and not what you have. Once they are convinced up-selling other products is much easier.
Strike A Conversation
After discovering what your potential leads enjoy, strike an effective conversation. Develop a friendly rapport with customers without sounding like a sales driven marketing pitch. Strike a discussion about the product with your customers to get their feedback and see how they react to it. If they respond positively then up-selling is the next step. If they respond negatively you must look into your product and see why they did not like it and select something more applicable. Alluring content accompanied with a friendly customer driven approach is more important than mere irritating sales offers. Make it a two way relationship where customers can speak out what they want.
What Makes Leads Open Their Inbox
Engaging customers with an effective conversation always involves offering something to their benefit. The leads have a want and need for a specific product, it is up to you to deliver that to them. Once you have discovered what products they want and how it fulfills their needs you can move on to up-selling them with additional products. These must be highly correlated to the original product and offer some sort of benefit or fulfill a need. Make sure that your product is appealing and similar to their need or else your sales pitch can annoy them. A well-crafted email with interesting content and amazing product offers can get you the results you desire. Remember this may not be applicable in all cases; customers can get annoyed even with a well-crafted sales pitch.
Know When To Stop
You will not always get what you desire and this can become very frustrating. You must know when to stop pushing products and offer something else of benefit to the potential leads such as a free trial period for them only or an e-book on the niche. The sales idea may not work out initially and the customer would resort to buy what he wants and not what you offer. But next time he will certainly keep in mind about your offer. You do not have to manipulate their mind and force anything on them. Make your up-selling conversation very effective so that they remember you for future reference. Nurture the lead and stop when you need to, so those develop a positive attitude towards you.
Gain your leads confidence and have a friendly approach towards them to make your marketing goals pay off. These are just some measures that can be adapted to up-sell products when doing email marketing. What strategies do you employ to maximize sales and up-sell additional products via email marketing?
