5 Key Ways To Get More Customers For Your Business by Novak(m): 7:02am On Aug 01, 2017
5 ways to get more customers

Getting customers sometimes isn't always romantic...

Sometimes it can be all hustle.

Let's get through 5 ways you can get more customers.

1. Paid Advertising
This involves utilising platforms to acquire customers. It can be online or offline, they include online ads, print ads, billboards etc.
You must very specific with your ads and know why you're setting it up, whether it's for brand awareness, lead generation or making sales.
Also be specific with your target market online in terms of age range, interests and more.
Always monitor your ads to see what's working and what's not.

2. Cold Calling/Cold Emailing
This involves having a list of prospects you don't personally know and contacting them through the phone or email.
There are online directories like Vconnect or BusinessList and lots more where you can get the contact of business owners.
This works best for B2B or service oriented businesses. As long as you have a product/service that adds real value to people's lives don't be shy to pick up that phone and make that call.

3. Hiring a Sales team/Affiliate Marketing
This involves having a team of experienced sales people. The upside to this is that they're already experienced and proven.
You can set targets for them and pay on performance.

4. Joint Ventures/Strategic Partnerships
This involves partnering with businesses who already have your customers.
This must be a win/win type of relationship and not just a parasitic one.
Examples can include a law firm and a web design agency deciding to partner up. They can cross promote each others services to existing customers and make additional money.
Another example can be partnering with social media influencers who are relevant to your product or service. They can get a percentage on sales that come from them.

5. Word of Mouth/Referrals
This is obviously the aftermath of all of the above. This can only be done when your customers are happy or (else you might be the one doing the word of mouth in a prison cell or in court)... Just kidding.
You can also take matters into your hands and give customers an incentive to make referrals maybe through a discount or something else. You can get creative with this.

hmmmm...

Op! Why you no mention Seed sowing(Church farming)...

U sow little to the soil(Pastor) and gain much harvest (Customers)

That way, the Pastor remains on Forbes list while your 'many' customers afford you the chance to get a good place at Ketu.

Generator power booster for sale.
The booster can be plugged to small generator like tiger generator and bigger generating plants. It does not affect the sound of the generator neither will it affect your generator set in any way.

It will allow you to plug your iron in the output of your generating plant without damage to your generator coil e.g: for Ironing of clothes The consumption
rate is small to allow you plug other things like: Tv, Fan, light bulbs, computer,phone charger and stereo system. The booster enhances and prolongs the life of
your generator by absorbing the pressure from your high current appliances.
Has no contact with your generator and therefore does not harm the Coil
No damage to generator.

Gone are the days when you wait for Nepa and PHCN before
you use your appliances. Iron booster is a cautioner between the supplier and the
load. It lightens the load plugged on it. You can use it with small and big generator plants

Importance of booster.
1. Easy to apply
2. Have no negative effect on your generator sets.
3. Does not stop you from using other loads like bulbs, cd, TV sets etc.
4. Does not increase fuel consumptions.
5. Very cheap and affordable.

Hmm.. The trick is simple.. Satisfy your current customer and your customer base will increase. If you can't satisfy your current customer, whatever you're doing is nonsense.
