How to expand sales through the network
What does this group of data mean when the number of netizens increases from time to time? It means that with the popularization of the Internet. Network marketing, a marketing model with huge potential and yet to be explored, will play an increasingly important role in promoting the market and become a new sales growth point. So, how should hardware enterprises expand sales through network marketing?
Target customers. There is no one product to subdivide your product market. It can meet all consumers. Therefore, facing a large number of Internet potential customers, hardware enterprises must segment the market and focus on their target customers, which is the basis and premise for online marketing. For example, in what age group, knowledge structure, income level, distribution industry, preferred information channels, and consumption composition, the target customers generally purchase in which channels, how well the products match the customers, whether they often surf the Internet, how often they surf the Internet, and what websites or information they generally browse after surfing the Internet? Only when we have a clear understanding of our target market and customers, that is, only when we have targeted our target customers, can we have a solid foundation to carry out online marketing and not let the budget drift.
Often young and educated, choose the product form that suits your target customers. Compared with ordinary consumers, netizens. Consumer fashion, pursuit of individuality and many other characteristics, therefore, for this group, conventional products will certainly be difficult to regret. As a hardware enterprise, it is necessary to choose products suitable for target customers. A complete product includes core products (such as core functions), form products (such as packaging), and additional products (such as services). If an enterprise wants to sell better on the network, it must create a complete product concept. This product must first have connotation, be able to meet the material and spiritual needs of Internet users, and at the same time, be convenient for transportation, have appropriate packaging forms, and so on.
Pricing should pay attention to methods and techniques. Network sales, network marketing. Pricing suggestions should follow the following guidelines: First, it should be slightly cheaper than radical channel sales. In addition to being convenient, convenient and time saving, a very important factor for many Internet users to choose online ordering is that the price of online products is lower than that of conventional channels, which is also a core reason to attract Internet users to buy online. This can be reflected in the form of discounts, which can be restored after discounts. However, the range should not be too large. On the one hand, the interest on the delivery of a single online product is high. Secondly, if the price difference between the two channels is too large, it will lead to channel conflict. Of course, if the manufacturer is worried that the price problem of online sales and radical channels is not easy to solve, it can also operate by products and channels. 2、 In terms of pricing, the mantissa pricing method can be used for products with low single product prices. Its advantages are: first, it makes people feel cheap. Although there is only 0.2 yuan difference between goods priced at 29.9 yuan and 30.1 yuan, the former gives consumers the impression that they are less than 30 yuan. The latter gives people the idea of "more than 30 yuan", so the former can make consumers think that the products are cheap and more acceptable. 2、 It makes people feel that the manufacturer is very serious. The price with mantissa will make consumers think that the enterprise pricing is very precise and accurate, and even the odd part can be clearly calculated, which will lead to a sense of trust in the business or enterprise's products. However, it should be noted that since Internet sales have no borders and regional restrictions, pricing should follow regional ethnic habits, cultural radicalism and values. For example, the word 8 is popular as the price mantissa, and the homonym "8" means "sending a message of good luck"; However, such as "4" and "13" in western countries are regarded as unlucky, so we should try to avoid them when pricing online. Of course, for products with large quantities and high unit prices, we can also adopt the integer pricing method to facilitate customers and reflect a greater sense of value by not changing.
In order to maximize sales, hardware enterprises need all-round, three-dimensional and diversified promotion methods. The following promotion forms can be adopted: First, information can be published on professional commercial websites or online stores can be established. 2、 Advertising information can be published on industry websites, and the promotion forms are diversified: there are many forms of online sales. Or investment information. 3、 Sell by sending emails, and promote relevant product information or self built professional websites by sending emails. However, after targeting the target customer group, try not to send messages in groups without originality, so as to avoid deleting the target audience as junk emails. 4、 QQ or MSN and other tools. Through QQ or MSN information exchange platform, we can also build a communication platform with target customers. By exploring customer needs, meeting customer needs, and even guiding customer needs, we can turn potential customers into real customers and expand the share of online sales.
It's easy to make a mistake. Online sales service is very important. Many hardware enterprises are doing online sales. That is to say, we pay more attention to sales than services. As a result, most of them are sold in one stroke, and even disputes about products and after-sales services may arise. These are all things that enterprises need to abandon. In order to make use of the Internet to sell products in a sustainable way, offline services need to be strengthened and standardized. Including the following aspects: First, product quality. Why is it that customers are unwilling to pay when some products are delivered? Many times, because the products published online are different from the actual products, manufacturers should not exaggerate the functions of the products or change the packaging of the products at will when they sell them online to prevent customers from denying their accounts. 2、 Product distribution. Generally, there is a specific delivery time on the Internet. As a manufacturer, you must coordinate with dealers, distributors (distributors) or logistics companies to deliver products on time according to the agreed time. If the products are not delivered on time due to various factors, you should make compensation or make up according to the agreement. 3、 Dispose of customer objections. Once the online sales of products fall back to reality, it is inevitable that there will be objections. In the face of all kinds of customers and all kinds of objections, as the customer service personnel of the manufacturer, we must take them seriously. In line with the purpose of "customer first", we should deal with them patiently, never tire of asking questions, and combine principles and flexibility to maximize customer satisfaction. There is a "250 law" in economics, that is, if a customer is satisfied/250 people around you may become your customers or potential customers and become your free propagandists. On the contrary, if you offend a customer, it is equivalent to offending 250 potential customers, not to mention online sales. Once satisfied, customers may post online, Thus, enterprises are injured. Therefore, if manufacturers want to do a good job in word-of-mouth marketing, they must pay attention to various services after online sales.
