\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Ada sale, mesti laku keras <\/em>(hard sell)! Engage your price-sensitive customers with appealing discounts. A clear banner proclaiming something like “50% off store-wide” sends out an immediate invitation to customers, making shopping from you a cinch. The occasional head-turning discount helps convert even the most budget-conscious customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Free Shipping & Returns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Offering free shipping and hassle-free returns will alleviate the anxiety of uncertain customers, pushing them one step closer to completing their purchase. Providing a safety net of no risk guarantees customer satisfaction and they’re more likely to turn to you for their future purchases. That\u2019s a win-win, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Loyalty Program Rewards<\/h3>\n\n\n

Remember to sayang<\/em> (take good care of) your repeat customers, as these ones keep your sales figure from falling into a post-festive slump. Creating a loyalty program with perks like early access to new products, exclusive deals, or accumulating points can incentivise customers to stick to your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Gift with Purchase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Encourage higher spending by offering a small surprise, freebies, or discounts when the customer meets a specific spending threshold. It’s a smart marketing strategy that contributes to customer delight and increases the ticket (sales value) size. Brands such as BIGPharmacy and Guardian have been leveraging this strategy for ages!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Contests & Giveaways<\/h3>\n\n\n

Create a buzz around your brand by hosting contests or giveaways. These engagements not only surge your sales but also increase your brand’s visibility. At the same time, hosting a giveaway can lead to an influx of user-generated content, expanding your brand\u2019s reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Hint: Leverage social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram to announce the giveaways.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

6. Limited-Time Offers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Instil a sense of urgency with a flash sale that pushes potential customers to make a purchase right away. A sale that expires within a limited timeframe can ignite impromptu decisions and encourage consumers to act quickly or risk losing out on the opportunity. Sekali-sekala <\/em>(once a while), kena<\/em> (need to) burst the fear-of-missing-out bubble, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Social Media Promotions<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Harness the power of social media to reach new customers. Collaborating with influential personalities, creating engaging posts, conducting live events or launching targeted ads can take your brand places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Email Marketing Campaigns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don’t underestimate the charm of personalisation, especially in email marketing. A well-crafted email that greets your customer by name, coupled with offers curated to their preferences, assures them they matter to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
