More sales is the first answer we get every time we ask a client what they want to achieve. Price is not everything, especially for quality and niche products. To increase the average order value, you need to look at several factors. Low free-shipping thresholds can help; the goal is to sell more. Promo codes, bundles, and subscriptions - all of them encourage customers to click the order button. These tactics will help you gain an advantage over the competition. Pay attention to and emphasize the overall value of each product. This, together with 7-star service, can deliver a much better return on investment.
Quality deserves attention
A 2019 study at the University of Texas at Arlington found that many consumers associate higher prices with higher quality. No product proves this more accurately than one particular model of cooler. A 102-liter Rubbermaid cooler costs a little under $100. The competing Coleman model is cheaper by $75. Higher-end brands like Icelandic and Yeti cost over $500. Consumers spend hundreds of dollars on portable coolers because they are made better than their cheaper counterparts. Pay attention to the quality and features of the product through text and images. Iceland Coolers uses bullets to advertise the long ice retention of its largest cooler, with a pressure-relief valve and a stainless steel axle. Through high-quality images, they give buyers the opportunity to examine every element carefully. Use high-resolution images to convey the product’s overall value.
Upsell for future needs and more sales
The more modest product may meet the consumer’s needs today, but what about six months or a year from now? Upselling is the practice of guiding the consumer toward a higher-end version of the product. This strategy works wonders in building loyal relationships. For example, a slow cooker is probably suitable for a household of two. But what about during the holidays, when the customer plans to cook for large gatherings? Recommending a cooker with a fan and eight liters of capacity meets those future needs. For more upsell sales, emphasize product information, such as the dimensions, the product’s capabilities, and suitable upgrade paths to products with better specifications. Include information that answers questions such as why it is more appropriate to buy the more expensive product.
Cross-sell for accessories and more profit
There are two types of cross-sells: (i) recommending related products and (ii) encouraging add-ons and extras. Cross-sells usually appear on the main product page. Strategically displaying relevant products after the add-to-cart action is a way to get buyers to spend a little more. From promoting BPA-free water bottles with sports gear to offering a discounted case with a pair of sunglasses, you can increase overall sales while ensuring customers order everything they need. Don’t forget to include cross-sell products after checkout (Thank You page).
Offer bundles
Skip the math and the research. Bundling products that are often bought together is an easy way to increase your sales. Sometimes called bundles, other times sets, these packages can consist of a main product with accessories or a group of similar items in different colors or sizes. When bundling products/services, provide an easy way to purchase the products separately as well. Include images of all the products together. Explain and show everything; don’t rely on visitors’ imagination. If you are struggling to compete on price alone, use our tips for more sales. The true value of the product, together with the accessories, can justify higher price points, even if you are not the exclusive representative.
