Capture the busy Christmas buying rush!   Australian's will spend more money this week than at any other time during the year.

1. Get clear on who you are targeting.  Are they existing customers or new customers?
2. What big specials can you offer?  It has to be incredible value so you grab attention.  Consider a loss leader (a product sold at a low price (at cost or below cost) to stimulate other profitable sales.)
3. Remember most of the buying is for gifts, so how can you package up your products or services as gift items?
4. People are buying gifts for others, but they still want to treat themselves.  Can you offer a two for one?
5. The closer we get to Christmas, the more motivated customers are to buy.  Can you offer gift vouchers, gift wrapped products, gift baskets or bundles, or last-minute special offers?

We can help you get your email newsletters, special offers, Website updated, Facebook page designed... ready to maximise your profits this Christmas.

The absolute best business teacher you can get right now is from several of your existing customers… and there will be no charge!!!

You will learn more from your customers than any other business expert in the world.  Choose the appropriate customers to ask:

• Why do you enjoy being my customer?
• Has there been any moments of disappointment?
• What else do you wish my business did?
• What are you glad that my business does not do?
• Who else should you tell about my business?

It is so obvious when you think about it, isn’t it?  But you know like 99% of business owners you haven’t done it.

NOTE:  Your customers won’t pipe up and tell you these things unless you ask.  Once you find out what customers love, hate, want and need you can fine tune your offering.

I’m giving you free tips and insights here all the time and there are hundreds of other social media experts providing free quality advice.

There are other businesses in your industry that are on facebook.  Keep an eye on what they are doing on their FACEBOOK WALL (offers, tips, competitions, etc).

You just need to make an effort.  You need to set aside some time each week to get ideas and knowledge and then.... take action.

The last point “Take Action”, is critical.  Your actions determine your destiny.  If you don’t implement your ideas and provide value to the world, you’ll get no benefit in return.
