are no more in demand. These products end up taking
much space in your online store. Discounts and o!ers
are the best remedies to free up room in your store.

the reason for not being able to sell those items
remains. For example, put the details at the front in the
homepage of the article with a catchy description and
o!ers that cannot be availed again.

and so is the sales goal. For example, if someone comes
online to buy a pair of jeans, it is evident that he or she
would search for other products as well. Moreover, if
they get a shirt that meets their budget, they are going
to purchase it. Make sure to engage the customers so
well that they end up buying more quality products from
your online store.

money. Promote cash sales Instead

also needs a sales plan as to what
and how to o!er to instigate the
customers to do cash transactions.

that you have achieved great customer engagement,
or you have got a great overall rating in a survey, you

place a referral request, or rather - ask for it!
Well again, it is not an easy job to get a referral from
a customer. However, once you can get the amount
of successful interaction that is required, you can
expect good business.

the world aim for. Every organisation spends much
money on a quarterly, half-yearly or annual basis to

engagement strategies. However, the biggest
setback that many organisations have while

channels. No matter how equipped your team
is, there is always erroneous transaction

organization is to make use of
