Increase your conversions by 39% with this simple Internet marketing strategy

If you're not thanking your customers, you're missing out on an easy Internet marketing strategy that could increase your sales by 39%--or more!

Adding complementary "upsell" offers to your thank-you pages is by no means a new strategy, but it's just as effective now as it was six years ago. According to Marketing Sherpa, 39% of their newsletter subscribers take advantage of one of the opt-in offers they put on their "thank you for subscribing" page. (That's compared to 40% in 2001.)

This really confirms what we've been saying all along. Upselling your customers at the point of purchase is a KEY Internet marketing strategy for growing your business.

Why is upselling so effective?

Well, by the time a customer sees your thank-you page, they've already made the decision to trust you enough to buy something from you... so encouraging them to make a second purchase is a relatively easy sell.

So make sure you take the time to say "thank you" to your customers--and let them know what other great products you sell--and they'll thank you by taking advantage of your offers!
