3 ways to increase sales online • 1. Increase the number of customers • 2. Increase the average order size • 3. Increase the number of repeat puchases
1. Increase the number of customers • Solve real problem • Be remarkable • Drive relevant traffic • Free and paid • Boost conversion • Use referral program This is the most expensive part of increasing sales!

3. Increase the number of repeat purchases • It is cheaper to keep customer than acquire new one • Offer promotions and remind customers of what you offer • Free shipping for a year – locking customers in • Offer coupons with the order • Save customer’s details incl. credit card • Customer experience • Service is the new selling
