Grow your business by increasing the value of each sale - 29 ideas to spur your brain
There are 3 ways to grow any business:
- Get more customers
- Get more from each sale
- Sell to each customer more frequently.
That's it - everything else boils down to some variation of these 3 activities.
Most owners and most managers want to grow their business. Most of them concentrate exclusively on getting more new customers.
Odd really.
There is lots of marketing research that is pretty consistent in pointing out that it costs somewhere between six and twelve times as much to get a new customer as it does to sell to an existing customer.
And once you have a customer it is generally pretty straightforward to get them to spend more each time they buy from you.
What's that?
Your business is different. There's no way to get customers to spend more.
Maybe so.
But I don't think so.
