Question: Can you guess the cheapest way to make a sale?
Answer: Sell to the customer that just bought from you!
All successful salespeople have one thing in common: They know how to make sales "after the sale". There are many costs associated with finding a buying customer. Selling is not a cheap endeavor. This is why it makes sense to really go after add-on sales.
For example nike air max 90 canada , if you have ever purchased a new computer, you probably noticed how before you left the store the salesperson had "helped you decide" to purchase a surge suppressor or extra ink for your printer. Maybe even an extended warranty for your new PC.
These add-ons probably doubled the store's profits (and the salesperson's commission) from the original sale. Without paying for any extra advertising or promotion, that $1000 sale may have easily turned into $1300-$1400!
You may be asking "Can I do this on the web?". The answer is of course you can. In fact, making add-on sales from your website is much easier than it is for a brick and mortar store.
There are actually two excellent methods of making add-on sales from your web site:
1 - Suggest options and accessories on the order confirmation page. Remember the printer and ink example? If your customer is ready to pay for a new printer, display a "suggestion box" on the side of the page reminding him to add an extra ink cartridge to the shopping cart. And don't forget the cable!
2 - You can also make an add-on sale AFTER the sale! After the order is completed and processed Cheap Nike Air Max 2018 Canada , the customer should be taken directly to a "thank you" page. On this page you'll thank the customer for giving you his business.
This is also a great time to ask if he forgot anything and give him the option of returning to your products page. Or simply advertise a related but completely different product. After all, he is already motivated to buy (he just did) and most likely he still has his credit card in hand!
Always remind the customer that he will save money with multiple item discounts and combined shipping charges. Ask for the add-on sales and boost your bottom-line!

Um? Surely that?s a no-brainer? Most northerly capital, on the edge of the Arctic circle ? of course it?s cold!
Not cold ? though it is a little ? I said cool. Reykjavik is as cool as they come. The city has been called the best night out on the planet. Its bars Cheap Nike Air Max 96 Canada , pubs and clubs stay open all hours, and parts of the city have a constant party atmosphere.
Take, for example, Kaffibarinn on Bergstaearstr?t (approximately ?berg ? stath ? ar ?strite? ? going to Iceland? Take a pronunciation guide!). It?s about the trendiest bar in town, visited by celebrities from all over the world who have ?discovered? Iceland. Yet it?s not so exclusive: the welcome is friendly Cheap Nike Air Max Axis Canada , and it?s usually crowded and atmospheric. Drinks are not cheap. But you won?t find a cheap drink anywhere in Iceland. There?s a high tax imposed on alcohol served in licensed premises. But the prices are worth it for the atmosphere!
If you feel like soaking up culture rather than vodka, there?s lots for you to do. Live music thrives in Reykjavik ? nearly all the trendy city centre bars have DJs on weekend nights. There?s classical music, too. Although Iceland has a population of only 270,000 ? smaller than most medium-sized U.S. cities ? its Symphony Orchestra is world-renowned and plays regular concerts in the capital between June and September.
The literally-named Culture House is also worth a visit. For a smallish island with a tiny population, Iceland has a whole lot of history. You thought Christopher Columbus discovered America? Think again. As the locals will remind you as soon as they hear your U.S. accent Cheap Nike Air Max Deluxe Canada , one of their forebears, Leif Ericsson, was the first European to make landfall in what would become the U.S.A.
As well as being cool, Reykjavik is colorful. Literally. There?s not a lot of wood in Iceland. Most of the trees, in fact Cheap Nike Air Max 2019 Canada , are in and around Reykjavik, and have been imported. So what wood they have, the Icelanders make the most of. Many of the old wooden houses are painted in brilliant blues and reds. If you stand on the city?s sea front, turn your back on the deep azure of Faxafloi Bay and look back at the town, it looks like the kind of place a kid would build if he had a couple billion colored bricks.
Further afield there?s stuff to do Cheap Nike Air Max TN Plus Canada , too. The interior of the country is mountainous, and filled with glaciers, volcanoes and geysers. If you?re a geologist, it?s one of the most interesting places in the world. If you?re not, go have a look anyway. It?s spectacularly beautiful Cheap Nike Air Max 90 Black Canada , if, at times, a little eerie. Three-quarters of Iceland?s population are crammed into the south-western corner of the island, around Reykjavik. The rest of the country, which is about the size of Ohio Cheap Nike Air Max 90 Pink Canada , is empty and unspoiled.
You can learn how to skidoo, or ride a dog-sled. You can hike in the hills (though not without a guide, please, unless you?re an expert) or have a go at some of the very best mountain biking in the world.
But just about the definitive Icelandic experience ? after weaving unsteadily home from a really good night out in Reykjavik ? is meeting the whales. Iceland is surrounded by whales of several species, and it?s easy to get on one of the regular boat trips to see some of these leviathans.
