Today, you must step up your tactics to keep your customers buying and away from competition next door on cyberspace highway.

Study your competitor's marketing and advertising. Sign up to their email list. Can you offer more than they can? Does your competitor have a weakness that you can exploit? Use it as your main selling point.

Previous customers are 5 to 10 times more responsive to your marketing than people who have never done business with you. It's definitely worthwhile to put in some extra time to keep customers happy.

Here's a few ideas that can help.

1. ) Become a "solution-provider" instead of a merchant. Send out a short, personalized email to customers who haven't bought anything for awhile and ask how they're enjoying last product they bought. Offer to answer any questions or help out if they're having a problem. The more you become a friend rather than just another business, more likely they'll buy from you again.

2. ) Cross-sell. Make sure customers know about your other products. Give a discount for your best customers to purchase your other items.

3. ) Send an email to customers only and tell them about your "Customer Appreciation Sale." Create a coupon or special order code that gives a product discount, gift or rebate.

You can generate thousands of hits to your website daily by following a few simple rules when using Surf for Hits pages. Surf for Hits pages are designed to send traffic to your site by viewing other peoples sites or promotions. These pages can help sell any product you have and build any business you are tying to succeed in on Internet providing you use them properly.

One of very first things I would recommend before starting to sign up for a bunch of Surf for Hits programs would be to set yourself up with a good page rotator especially if you are going to promote more than one business opportunity or sales page at one time. By using a rotator you can have all your programs being rotated by one program and when you sign up for surf for Hits Pages you will always be asked which url you want to use to promote your product for that surf for hits page. Now that you have your rotator setup with all programs you want to promote all you need to do when signing up for hits programs is promote one url which is your rotator url. Using a rotator makes it very easy to manage all programs you are promoting.

In order for you to get hundreds of people to view your programs daily you are going to need to sign up for at least 30 Surf for Hits programs. The reason I say this is because if you signed up for only 1 or 2 programs you would need to sit at your computer for hours surfing pages in these programs in order for you to get a couple hundred people to view your pages. That is a lot of hours you are going to waste sitting in front of your computer not to mention headache you would have looking at computer screen for that amount of time.
