Question: When is the best time to sell your customer additional products?
 
Answer: Immediately after they`ve just made a purchase.
 
That`s right. The best time to sell your customers additional products is immediately after they`ve made a purchase. Why? Because they`re still in a buying mode. They`re still happy and excited about their purchase. More importantly, they still have their credit cards out. What better time to sell them something else?
 
A lot of marketers send their customers to a `thank you" page immediately after the sale. Let me ask you a question. Why would you invite your customers to leave your website, after they`ve just made a purchase? See my point? Why not offer them quick and easy add-ons to the original purchase?
 
For example, perhaps you have some out-dated or less popular items you`d like to get rid of. Why not offer them to your customers at a discount? They`ll appreciate the gesture. Don`t get me wrong. A nice, courteous thank you page is fine. But a page that offers your customers value at a discount is even better!
 
Are any of you guys offering your customers additional items immediately after the sale?

If you read my post carefully, you`ll notice that it`s clearly referring to Internet marketing.

I just love it when people swoop in from nowhere, don`t post any information at all about themselves or their business, make a single post that`s blatantly, obvious SPAM and then disappear into the night, never to be heard from again. I just love it.
