What It's About
Today's listener wants to optimize the art of the sale. What should they know?
Notes from Chris
Episode 1999
You’ve probably seen furniture stores or other businesses that are always having sales. They have so many sales that it seems like there’s never a time when there’s not a sale. And of course, this is a strategy! They know it works. They know it brings people in. Our listener is wondering: why can’t they do this in their business? Is there any reason to not have a permanent sale or price discount? What are the upsides and downsides?"I've noticed that whenever I put my products on sale, I sell more. Not surprising, right? But a recent holiday sale got me thinking. Is there anything wrong with having my whole online store on sale all the time? I realize that recurring customers might catch on quickly, but I have a lot of new visitors coming every day. If it just so happened that what they wanted was on sale when they visited, I bet conversion rates would be higher. So that's my question: is there any ethical or practical concern with having a semi-permanent or permanent sale?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
