Also keeping a competetive price makes the product price more justify.

Suppose in a movie complex we are selling popcorns, One small bucket is priced at 99 and one large bucket is priced at 299. Now according to our research 90% of people go for 99 small bucket. Now that creates a loss to us. Now try a new idea. Keep a medium bucket priced at 235. Now 80% people will opt for large bucket. How did this happen. The first thing their mind worked on was the difference in price of the 3 options. The minimum difference between medium and large made them go for large. While the small was nowhere into the picture.

These are some marketing strategies. We can discuss a lot more of such really successful strategies. But we want to know your views first.

Sometimes the customer also have availability issues. Like he lives in other state and he is buying from some other state. Will he be able to get the offered services in his home town? He always look for easily available products.

He made low cost mobile phones and made them available to the lower class and middle class people at time when mobile phones was considered to be the high class product. He sold many of them at his own loss. But he knew that it will pay him back later with huge profits. When people became familiar with his product they found themselves addicted to phones. Now he started business selling more phones at price slightly higher than production cost but still lower than it’s competitors in the market.

He started making profits, huge profits. But he has already got the business mantra. He then did same thing with SIM cards . Low cost SIM cards with value added to them was a clean and nice move. He gave many value packs offers like SMS packs , Free night calls, and many more.

Body language and Presentation Skills

Body postures tell how confident you are. It speaks your intentions. If you are selling just to sell then don’t show it. Your body movements should be such that the customer feels that you are his well-wisher not a businessman who just want to sell his product.

Consider the situation of an interview. Yes interview is the place where you sell your skills to the company who is going to hire you based on your presentation. The better you present yourself to the company the more the chances of selection are. Similarly the better you present the product to the customers the better the chances are that he will buy it.
