You can wait until the situation will change, or you can put some effort in order to attract new customers and orders. There is nothing extremely new here, but if you follow at least some of these tips, you can improve your reputation and relationships with customers, which will probably influence the sales. 1. Social Proof Social proof creates a trust and shows that your services make people happy. Ask customers for testimonials, collect feedback from social networks. A smart way to collect feedback about you is to use some mention tool (Google for one). Publish them on your website and social networks. Do you worry about asking for testimonials? It is easy, just offer your customers that you will mention them on your page. You need to invest time and money implementing testimonials or ratings into your website, but it will generate revenue. 2. Email Marketing Regardless of the general opinion that email marketing is old-fashioned, it still works and it is free. The biggest problem with email marketing is capturing attention. Every one of us gets a lot of spam. So the first rule of email marketing – don‘t become a spammer. If you have a customer database, which you must have, send emails without selling information, just ask about how their business is going and whether they need any help or have project plans for the near future. Sell without selling. 3. Network in Your Local Area The best places to look for clients aren’t on freelance websites. I have some great news. You can find customers not only on the Internet. Check the local business community near your location and visit them with presentations and offers. Email, video, texting can’t replace face to face communication, so take your shirts and go to your customer.
