Yup, based on research, customers will go through the 70% of buying process before finally deciding to ask the seller. Why? Because there is a bit of dignity in customer’s mind when they are offered with a product. So, no need to hurry to offer your product, instead always be standby when customer wants to contact you. Focus on the “Contact Us” or “Sign Up Now” button that can be accessed by the customer’s own will.

3. Give Spam
If you still do marketing technique by blasting email to all of your customers, stop it. Because this thing annoys your customer and can lead you to receive a report as a spam email. If many customers do this, you can be on the black list and it will be harder for you to get customer. The thing you can do is to make the customer sign up to newsletter that you can promote through social media. So you don’t have to blast e-mail anymore.

Do you know that there are already a lot of follower sellers now? Well, you probably don’t want people to judge you to have many fake followers, right? So the thing you can do is inviting your followers to visit your site. It can be done by giving informative article, making quiz with interesting prize, discount coupon, and many other. Make it as interesting as you can, so you will not only have many followers, but also a lot of site visitors.
