Boost Sales For Raya With Members' Pre-Sale Day

During festive seasons or any popular shopping campaigns, businesses would offer discounts to ride on the wave and hope to get more customers to make a purchase.

But this is not necessarily good for your business.

Consumers shop early and by the time the shopping campaign starts, they have already decided and just want to make a purchase at a discount.

Plus, you spend on marketing to acquire new customers and they purchase at a discount. This can really eat up your profit and can even incur a loss if not careful.

A better way to boost sales during festive season is to acquire customers early and get customers to repeat purchase with a members only sale.

What is a members day sale

A members day sale is an event that offers exclusive discounts to members and not the public. It can be a great way to increase sales and build loyalty among customers.

These are the reasons why you need to have members day sale

• Offering exclusive discounts to members shows appreciation for customers who have been buying from you. This will help build customer loyalty.
• Comparing to acquiring new customers, customers that have bought from you before don’t need much convincing to purchase again and are more likely to spend more.
• It can also be used as a value to convert visitors to customers and encourage them to purchase more to become a member. Thus, helping you to drive more sales.

To get the most out of a members day sale, you can run this campaign before the sales campaign for the public.

You can easily create and manage a members day sale campaign for your business by using EasyStore.
