What way you can reciprocate it? – You can design your advertising to produce sales. For example, you can include offers, indeed a chic way to attract prospective customers.

2. What About Offering A Cheap Version?

If you acquire prospective customers, then remember that they may be not ready to pay the price that you assign. Others are interested in paying out a lower price than in getting better quality. Well, you can avoid losing sales to many customers by offering stripped down version of your product that too at a lower price.

3. You Can Offer A Premium Version To Customers

Cheap price is not liked by everybody. Many agree to pay a higher price just to get a premium product.

Tell them that you can publicize their product or services to your customers, but in return, they have to publicize your products to their customers. This is called cross-promotion and this is able to cater large sales that too at a low-cost.

7. Seek Some Advantage From Your Customers

Customer is the king, and to keep them happy you can try your level best. They already trust you and so it becomes easier to bring business from them. Take advantage of this and offer them some special deals. Like announce them about your new products before you declare them in the general market.
