Three Ways To Boost Your Income This Month
The new year is off and running already! Is your business off and running, too? I don't know many business owners who would say no to making more income right now - before the end of this month. Here are three ways to boost your income, and if you implement even one of them, you'll have extra money to show for it.
1. Increase the number of clients or customers you have. This means letting folks who are new to you and your business know about you and the problems you solve. How can you do this quickly and efficiently?
Ask existing customers for referrals.
Find a business networking group you've not been to before and attend.
Send out an e-newsletter and ask recipients to forward it to one person who might benefit from your services.
Ask friends and family to specifically mention your business to one person this week.
Post helpful resources and advice to your social media accounts.
Revamp any existing paid advertising and look for a higher return on investment, or if it hasn't worked well for you, cancel it for a month.
Partner with an aligned business to advertise or do a quick special promotion.
2. Increase the average transaction value for existing customers or clients. This means that you offer more value and get a greater price than you are currently getting from your customers. Here are a few ways to do this:
Raise your rates.
Bundle several of your products or services together and offer them at a special price.
Create a VIP customer category and charge for access to VIP status.
Offer an add-on to your existing product or service.
For instance, if you sell jewelry offer a color consultation (for an additional price) with each jewelry consultation or purchase.
3. Increase the frequency of repurchase by existing customers. This means that you devise options designed to encourage customers to come in more often (or order more often).
Let customers know the benefit of increased services (massage therapy more often than once a month actually boosts the immune system, for instance).
Package services for frequent buyers. Personal trainers, for instance, might offer a special rate for those who purchase a quarter's worth of training three times a week.
Let customers know about new inventory as it arrives to encourage more frequent visits to a retail shop.
Point out that more frequent services can lead to faster results.
The point is that boosting your income quickly doesn't take months of agonizing over how to do it. Pick one of the three options that you feel will work best for you and get started right now to implement one or more strategies for it. Income doesn't increase when we THINK about what we might do, income increases when we actually IMPLEMENT something new.
When clients come to me wanting to increase their income quickly they usually are holding that wish as something that is hard to do, scary, or impossible. One of the secrets to boosting your income is to change your own attitude about how easy it is to make more money. If you take action, it happens. If you worry about how you are going to take action then nothing happens and you continue on the gerbil wheel of "how can I do this?"
Do you want to make more money this month? Go look at yourself in a mirror, smile, and declare out loud "I"m off right now to make a bunch more money this month." It's pretty tough to do something you don't believe you can do, so quit thinking you can't and start telling yourself you can. The how-to's are right here for you. Pick one, work on it, and let me know how much more money you have in your pocket at the end of this month.
