It is a well-known fact that only strong emotions can lead to bright memories. This actually emphasizes the power of gifts. Since childhoods, gifts have been associated with holidays, family and pleasant moments. Some online stores face the problem of having a decline or stagnant amount of sales. Therefore, by giving your customers Free Gifts through a free gifts banner you become closer to them and there is a higher chance that your store will be remembered. This will keep customers and guests always coming back to check you out.
It is, however, important to note that care is of more value than gifts, and this means you don’t have to make your gift too big or expensive. If your store runs on a cross-selling and upselling logic, you can make use of your existing conditions and inform customers about the proposals available to the different categories of customers. For instance, you can give the gift to the customer with the minimal required quantity or amount.
As much as people like receiving gifts, they also like getting free things more. This type of promotional offer helps to satisfy a 2 in 1 emotional thirst in your customers. Nothing spreads a better message about your online store than a free gift banner. From research and study, it has shown that customers most often do not mind meeting up with the requirements to get the free gift displayed by the free gift banner. A client may not mind buying one extra unit of a commodity if it guarantees that he will get a free gift. It is also advised that online store owners should not overshoot the conditions for a free gift offer displayed on a free gift banner as this may discourage or irritate the buyer because he/she will feel extorted. You should not set the number of units to be purchased as 5 when 3 units are more than enough to qualify a customer for a free gift. You should also not offer a gift which is not of a significant value to the amount of goods purchased.
It wouldn’t speak well if you offer just a pen for the purchase of 3 units of an item which are costly to obtain. You should do well to offer something of almost a similar value as one unit of the goods to be purchased. The Free Gift offer should also be displayed regularly on a free gift banner, and not as a one-time thing.
It is important that you don’t forget to support ant promotional event, including your Free Gifts offer displayed properly on a free gift banner, with strong advertising and publicity.
