What can you do when you have been running an online site home business for a couple of years but your profits are not as strong as you would like? One thing you can do is to review that you are getting enough traffic to your site, if you are satisfied with this aspect of your business you might want to consider increasing your sales through the method of follow-up promotions.

The beauty of this idea is that it does not necessarily bring more hits to your site but it does bring more people to your site that will buy more of your products and this will generate more income. If you already have customers, at least 30 percent of them will purchase from you again and this number will continue to grow if you use the follow-up techniques that are presented in this article.

Take a good look at your customer base and you may realize that you can get them to buy more times from you rather than from someone else when you use this follow-up system. If they already like the product they have purchased from you, there is a good chance that if you offer them another product or a discount on what they have already purchased, they will come back to your site and buy again.This will then rekindle interest for your site from your customers and their friends. When customers like a product, they will tell others. The more you follow-up and offer them items and a small bonus from your site, the faster your profits will begin to increase.

One of the ways used in the follow-up technique is to reward your customers for using your site and buying your products. In addition, you can reward them for referrals to others. Special notices that say thank you for their purchase, or offering a small discount if they come back or refer your business to a friend are all great ways to increase your profit margin. Another technique is when your customer signs up at your site, be sure to send a confirmation message that their request was received , instead of simply saying, “we have received your request” add a Special bonus in there. This is a great time to offer them something extra from your site or a discount off their next purchase, be creative and you will be amazed at the responses you will receive.

The importance of this approach is to let your customers know that you are following-up with them to make sure they are happy with their purchase and that if they have any questions or concerns they can contact you. Do not overwhelm them with sales pitches,make them feel like you really care about your customers and their satisfaction with your product.
