#8 Sell products? You could have a date reminder service – there is a lot of software available that would help you to automate this. Birthdays, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Anniversaries . . . what are your products good for? You can use an automatic reminder service like one of these:
Or you can add a couple extra fields on your contact form so that folks can enter the birthdate and sex of their children/grandchildren and you can send out a notice to them with a reminder of the upcoming b-day or holiday and include a software recommendation for that age.
#9 What special things can you do for your customers? For example, Can you gift wrapped before shipping? If so, let people know. Do you offer gift certificates, group discounts etc.? Think about what else you can offer and let folks know about it!
#10 Relist with the search engines – Is the traffic to your site slowing down? It may be time to relist with those major search engines. BUT . . . before you do, use Wordtracker to find the best keywords to use in your META tags. The ROIbot Webmaster Tool includes site submission & tracking.
#11 Get those press releases out! Be sure it’s not just a sales message. Make it newsworthy
#12 Nothing sells better than testimonials. Be sure to include those kind words from your clients and watch your sales increase.

12 Tips To Increase Website Traffic & Sales (part 2)
#4 Participate in discussion/networking groups online. Networking is one of the top ways to increase sales. Refer business to others & they will in turn refer business your way. Find one or two that you are comfortable with. Some of the ones we like are:
- WAHM – http://www.wahm.com (women)
- Field of Dreams – http://www.fodreams.com
- Frankelbiz – http://www.robfrankel.com/frankelbiz/form.html
#5 Participate in message boards online. There are TONS of message boards on every topic imaginable. While it generally is not appropriate to advertise on these boards, you can respond to questions, make suggestions and sign your posts with your name, business name and URL. These posts are indexed by the search engines and this method creates a lot of new links back to your site!! Remember not to just post ads on message boards . . . people in these communities do not appreciate “spam” on their boards. However, you can contribute, be helpful, ask questions and then use your “signature” at the end with a brief marketing blub and link to your site. So find some boards with content that your prospects have an interest in, or that you do and start mingling online. Participate in this great online community and make connections! Just go to your favorite search engine and search for discussion forums that interest you.
#6 Have a drawing at the site for free product, t-shirts, pens, mouse pads etc. Some of these items are very inexpensive give-aways. One of my clients has some very good prices on advertising specialties .
There are a number of places online where you can announce give-aways, drawings, contests etc. It is a very good way to build up traffic. AND if you have #1 in place before you do this, you can build a terrific mailing list that will help you get those folks back to the site and eventually get them to turn into customers.
#7 How’s your marketing copy look? Has it been a while since it’s been rewritten? By presenting your material in a brief and more compelling manner, you can generate more sales. Be sure you have a strong call to action. What do you want your visitors to do? Call? Order? Sign up to be notified of updates? Be sure you clearly direct the visitor through your site and to take the action that you want them to take.

12 Tips To Increase Website Traffic & Sales
(part 1)
#1 Build a List . . . Set up a way for visitors to register to be notified of site updates, special offers or newsy items. Use this to build an in-house mailing list. By sending out periodic email notices to the prospects on your list you can keep your site and products in their minds. And now that you have your list going . . . Start your own Ezine (online newsletter). It’s really not that hard. And here are some links to help you get started::
#2 Automate! Have your product list with brief descriptions & a mail-in order form available via an autoresponder. That way if people are in a hurry, or if they just aren’t ready to buy right now, your information will be in their email box. They’ll have less of a chance to forget you!
- Your prospects simply send any email message to the autoresponder and the information is instantly sent to them. You also get a copy of their email address so that you can follow up, or add them to your in-house e-mail list. Autoresponders can also be used as an automatic follow-up tool, or to deliver weekly lessons or marketing messages
PN.: If you are interested in an auto responder Pl contact Netultimate.com for more info on this.
#3 Install a secure order form. People will be more likely to order online if you provide a way to protect their personal and financial information. And if you make it “easy” for them to order. If you don’t have a merchant account, you can either apply for one, use a 3rd party processor, or you can get check software that will let you accept checks online. Whatever you do, don’t make your customers print out an order form and send it to you . . . the order won’t get to you.
