What are online sales strategies?
Online sales strategies are digital techniques that you use to increase your sales and, consequently, your profits.
They can be used by any company (whether it has a product, service or solution) and in any industry.
The idea is that you bet on the internet to reach a greater number of potential customers, a situation that simple face-to-face sales does not allow.
After all, the internet is a world without limits, which leads you to talk to people from anywhere in the world.
Imagine, then, how much your business can grow if you use this strategy correctly?
Find out how to bet on it assertively below!
How to use online sales strategies?
You will now understand how to use online sales strategies in the best possible way.
Remembering that they are suitable for any business, whether you have a company of digital solutions, education, a pet shop, a mechanic shop or a hamburger shop.
1 — Work your authority on the internet
The first step in using online sales strategies is to create an authority on the internet.
If you don’t have any money, create pages on social networks (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube…) and start generating content on these tools.
These contents can be texts that show that you have knowledge about your business, but also posts with images that advertise your products or services, promotions, offers, etc.
You can get followers organically (for free) by spreading your pages to friends and acquaintances, but there is a more effective way, which is paid.
I am not going to talk about it now because it will be covered in the next topic, but I already say that it is not necessary to invest a world of money to make it happen.
Ah ok, do you already have a website or are you thinking about having one?
Great!
If you already have it you will need to work on it your authority (I already talk about it).
If you still don’t have it, then you will need to make an investment, there is no way.
Calm down, he doesn’t have to be that tall.
Nowadays there are some very friendly and inexpensive tools for you to create your page, just for some programming knowledge.
WordPress and Wix are two options.
They even offer free plans too, but they are not as effective as paid ones, so you need to assess whether it is really worth not investing.
One of the negative points is that you will not have a personalized domain, which can, for example, make your site not look so professional for customers.
If you do not have basic programming knowledge, then you will have to bet on hiring a programmer.
In this case the price will depend on each professional.
My tip is to search for a freelancer on 99Freelas.
Just publish a free opportunity to receive several proposals.
Well, with the website available, create a menu with the tabs about the company, products (or services), contact, etc.
It is also important that you create a specific one for the blog.
So you can write articles that are relevant to your market and that attract the attention of potential customers.
But it is important to know how to work on the keyword, an essential SEO strategy for the texts to rank on the first page of Google in an organic (free) way.
That’s how more people will get to know your company!
2 — Create paid campaigns
This is certainly among the most effective online sales strategies.
Did you know that it is possible to create campaigns on your company’s social networks, and also on Google, to attract your potential customers?
And the best part is that it is not necessary to spend a lot of money for this.
These campaigns, when done assertively, are able to bring in the right customers, those who are really interested in your products or services.
To give you an idea of the effectiveness of this strategy, it is possible to run specific campaigns for different audiences, such as those who know your product and those who don’t, those who are ready to buy and those who still need more engagement, etc.
To find out how to create a campaign, access your own social media pages (and also Google) and follow the recommended step by step on each one.
These were the tips for online sales strategies that you can use in the midst of the pandemic.
And the cool thing is that in addition to helping you leverage sales in this period of crisis, they can still be techniques that will come to stay, taking your company to much higher levels.
