promotion to sell kayaks. Let’s say average price of kayaks you sell are $1000 and you’re comfortable discounting kayaks 20%. You could take $200 and apply it to premiums to reward purchases within your promotion period. You could include paddles and helmet, pay for kayaking lessons, include a river pass, partner with a travel agency to discount a kayaking vacation, include monthly subscriptions to outdoor magazines, pay for entry fees to a local event, etc. The possibilities are endless! This concept can be used for any product or service, it doesn’t make any difference if you’re selling kayaks for $1000 or telecom equipment and services for $1M.Promotions certainly aren’t limited to seasons, any occasion can be made a promotion – anniversary, goofy holiday, birthday, business event…you name it. System Administrator Appreciation Day can be a promotion event. Again, possibilities are endless! Pull out your customer and prospect lists, package an offering with a premium to reward action, announce promotion with a press release, direct mail, web-site, email campaigns, etc. Get enthused and celebrate! Let your imagination run wild! I love spring!

7. Create credibility and trust with your visitors by telling them something they already know. They'll know for sure you're not lying to them. 8. Make residual income from your customers by selling back end products. If you don't have any, you could sign up to related affiliate programs. 9. Use a redirect page to boost your sales. People think long affiliate URLs look unprofessional in e-mail so you could redirect them to a web link. 10. Create an extra income from your web site by charging for consulting. The consulting should be related to your web site's theme. Aimee@contact.net http://www.netprofitblueprint.com/index.php?ref=147
