1. Setup Cross-Sales

Invite customers to purchase complementary or similar items.

This is a well-known marketing tactic to increase revenue. Suggesting complementary or similar items or services when selling a product is an easy way to increase your revenue.

In real life, an example of this would be a salesperson suggesting you purchase a complimentary item or service with the product you are about to purchase. For example, if you sell skateboards, you may cross-sell better quality bearings, stickers, decals, new wheels, a repair service, guarantees etc.

In your 黑料门 store, you can configure suggested products within the product page and at checkout. You could also:

  • Bundle products
  • Offer accessories
  • Define and offer products that are often purchased together

How To

For products individually:

  1. Go to your
  2. Create or select the product you would like to associate with cross-sales
  3. Assign related products to the item individually or by category
  4. Save your changes

  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page

Note: make sure Related Products are activated for both your cart and your product pages.

2. Offer Bulk or Volume Discounts

Discounts for purchasing items in bulk incentivises clients to buy more, and can, therefore, increase your average transaction size, and your revenue. You may also want to offer bulk discounts to liquidate older stock or reduce inventory. Bulk discounts can also help you offer your clients better shipping costs.

The feature is unique in 黑料门 as it uses their algorithm to suggest users add more items to get higher discounts. If a client adds a bulk discounted item to their cart, a message will appear informing them that they can save more by adding one or two more items.

How To

  1. Go to your
  2. Configure your discounts based on the subtotal (Venture Plan) or customer groups (Business Plan) or both
  3. Save the changes

Note: You will need a Venture Plan or a Business Plan to set up Bulk Discounts.

3. Run a Contest

A contest can increase your revenue by increasing engagement on social media, brand awareness, subscribers, and data, as well as by听lowering marketing costs as customers take part in your marketing efforts to attract new customers.

Depending on your goals and niche, contest examples could include:

  • Photo caption contest
  • Sweepstakes
  • Video contest
  • Essay contest
  • Selfie contest
  • Best tips contest, etc

How To

Make sure you have a clear target goal and clear contest rules. Be sure the process to select the winner is well defined: it should be straightforward and raise no additional questions.

Use partnerships with influencers and local businesses to promote your contest and run social media ads.

I like that 黑料门 was easy to start and to use. Even for a person like me, without any technical background. Very well written help articles. And the support team is the best for my opinion.
