How to sell more on Black Friday?
There is no single answer on how to sell more on Black Friday. In fact, it all depends on your store’s profile and the promotions that are most in line with your clientele’s needs and preferences.
However, there are some basic actions for every business that wants to be successful when implementing a sales campaign in this type of occasion. Below, see the ideal practices to boost your business and adapt them to the reality of your company:
1. Prepare your store and your team
If you expect to have a peak in sales on Black Friday and want this to be reflected in the acquisition of new customers, remember that your store must be prepared to provide an excellent experience for consumers on the day of the promotions.
Therefore, reinforce the stock so that there is no shortage of products during the increase in sales, train employees to provide excellent service (even during customer peaks), make the means of payment broader and more flexible, among other related precautions.
2. Invest in disclosure
There’s no point in researching how to sell more on Black Friday if your store’s public doesn’t know about the promotions, do you agree? Therefore, publicize your actions in advance, so that customers are attracted and prepared for purchases.
Know the profile of your consumers and invest in channels that most impact them, such as social networks, billboards, radio, newspapers, etc. In campaigns, show that the store is preparing unmissable offers and create a sense of urgency for people to take advantage of them on the date.
3. Make really attractive promotions
Evidently, no one will make an effort to buy from you if the promotions advertised are not really attractive. Therefore, plan the pricing and margins of the offers so that the public actually sees your Black Friday as a unique opportunity.
By meeting customer expectations and really selling cheap, you create an experience that will be remembered for future purchases. Thus, in addition to boosting your sales on that date, you are remembered by consumers and build their loyalty for future sales.
4. Promote the upsell
Speaking of attractive promotions, upsell is a great strategy on how to sell more on Black Friday. Basically, it is an additional offer to the purchase. It works like a combo, in which the customer buys a certain product and has advantages to buy the next one.
Imagine, for example, that you want to maximize sales of your cargo lashing line. One possibility would be to give discounts at road turnstiles for those who purchase a specific number of straps. This improves the customer experience and increases the average sales ticket.
5. Ensure an excellent product mix
Finally, remember that every commercial date is an opportunity to surprise your customers and win new loyal customers for your store. Therefore, be sure to pay attention to the product mix and associate your company with the most excellent solutions on the market.
