How To Increase Sales?
Now you have a landing page and a lead magnet. Let’s assume the customer gives you their contact information, and you give them free value. But now you're thinking, how do you increase sales?
When you get their contact information, you can upsell your service by sending them emails or SMS, depending on which type of contact information you have.
There's one more way you can even sell on the landing page. This method is not commonly used by many businesses but offers the best chance to convert a lead.
Upselling
When a lead gets the free value, you can direct them to another page. For example, when they receive their guide, you can create a thank you page and upsell on that page.
You can sell your product there, and most of the time, people will buy from you because they already trusted you by giving their contact details. This is an easy sale that will dramatically increase your sales.
Conclusion
Giving customers free value is the key to increasing sales. By offering valuable content, using landing pages and lead magnets, and upselling services, you can boost traffic, attract more customers, and increase revenue.
