Send a monthly newsletter via e-mail. And promote it at shows and booths. Get people's e-mail address. My monthly newsletter typcially gets me at least 1 booking per month off of it without even picking up the phone.
Promote online ordering. Promote the outlet. If people don't know about it, how can they order online. On every item I hand out I have a blurb or sticker on online order and outlet order. I'm specific on how to get to both.
I also have a sticker that says "Phone and Online Orders Always Welcomed!" Sometimes people just want to buy but don't want a show. There's been plenty of months that I'll get enough phone in orders to make a show for myself.
It's all about exposure. You have to let your clients know what you can offer.

Hi there! I completely understand your frustration with trying to get more sales and engagement on the P web site. This time of year can be challenging, but there are definitely some incentives you can use to boost your sales. One idea is to offer a special discount or promotion for those who make a purchase through the P web site. You could also host a virtual party or cooking demonstration to showcase some of your products and offer exclusive deals to those who attend. Additionally, reaching out to your existing customers and offering them a referral discount for bringing in new customers can also be effective. Best of luck with your sales, and don't give up! Persistence and creativity are key in this business.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of incentives can I offer to encourage orders?
Common incentives include discounts on future purchases, free shipping on orders over a certain amount, or exclusive access to new products. You can also offer a small gift or sample with each order to add extra value.
How can I use social media to promote my incentives?
Utilize platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest to showcase your incentives. Create engaging posts that highlight the benefits of ordering, share customer testimonials, and run contests or giveaways to encourage interaction and orders.
Are there specific promotions that work well for online orders?
Yes, limited-time offers, flash sales, and bundle deals tend to drive online orders effectively. Highlighting these promotions in your emails and social media posts can create urgency and encourage customers to act quickly.
How can I track the effectiveness of my incentives?
Use sales reports and analytics tools to monitor order patterns before and after implementing incentives. Tracking customer feedback and engagement on social media can also provide insights into what resonates with your audience.
What should I do if my incentives aren't generating orders?
If your incentives aren't working, consider reassessing their value and appeal. Gather feedback from customers to understand their preferences, and experiment with different types of incentives or promotional strategies to see what drives better results.
