Closing Sales and Keeping Price
Are you falling into a trap and competing on price alone? Is the method to your team closing more sales to offer discounts? Do you want to differentiate your product from the competition? Then, it’s time to explore other ways to sell your product beyond price. Here are 4 areas I recommend to focus on:
Value.
One of the best ways to sell your product beyond price is to focus on the value it provides to your customers. Instead of lowering your price, try adding value to your product. This can be achieved by adding extra features or services, improving the quality of your product, or by providing exceptional customer service. Maybe there are opportunities to increase the offering by adding to the assortment. By emphasizing the value your product provides, you can attract customers who are willing to pay more for a superior product.
Rarity.
Sell your product beyond the price by highlighting or creating rarity. If your product is unique or hard to find, this can be a major selling point. Customers are often willing to pay more for rare or hard-to-find products, as they are perceived to be more valuable. Consider limiting the life cycle to create scarcity or create limited edition runs or special series to increase the collectability and increase rarity.
Exclusivity.
Exclusivity is another powerful tool for selling your product beyond price. By limiting the availability of your product, you can create a sense of exclusivity and exclusivity often leads to higher perceived value. This can be achieved by limiting the retail offering or allowing a select group of customers to sell the product. By creating a sense of exclusivity around your product, you can increase its perceived value and command a higher price.
Marketing.
Marketing is key to selling your product beyond price. Effective marketing can create a strong brand image and build a loyal customer base, which can help to sustain sales over the long term. Co-op and plan your campaigns in conjunction with your retail network to build a cohesive and consistent message. Understand your target audience and tailor the messaging to their needs and interests. Consider using social media, email marketing, and other digital marketing channels to reach your target audience and build brand awareness.
Selling your product beyond price is about creating value, highlighting rarity, building exclusivity, and effective marketing. By implementing these strategies, you can differentiate your product from the competition and attract customers who are willing to pay more for a superior product.
