Every business’ dream is to grow and with time capture new market share to be able to expand. Companies dealing with more than one brand need to take advantage of creating promotional labels to increase sales. How can they do this? For example, If your company manufactures a variety of brands, select the most successful brand in the market then create promotional labels for that particular brand and use that as a tool to upsell other brands. This is just one way of attracting new customers while maintaining your loyal customers as you increase your product sales. Let’s look at other ways you can increase sales and create new market share using promotional labels.

Give Your Customers A Reason To Interact

The main aim of creating promotional labels is to create a channel to interact with customers either indirectly or directly. Engaging with customers helps a company to build a better consumer relationship and a better brand awareness. For promotional labels to be successful, you need to be able to offer your customers something in return for their participation.

Marketing experts advice that you need to categorize the products you seek to promote in two categories. Ask yourself if your product falls under the “need” category or the “want” category. If your product falls into the “need” category, you need to come up with a promotional strategy that will offer money off your product when customers buy. You can create price tag labels which show price reduction on a product to attract consumers to your product. This is a great strategy to attract new customers because no one can resist a sale.

If the product falls under “want” category, you need to promote direct interaction with your customers to get their opinion about your product to allow you to collect data that will increase sales in the future. To effectively do this, you can create barcode labels where customers can scan the barcode to get to your website and answer a few survey questions. In return, you offer them a chance to win cash prizes in a sweepstake draw.

Measure And Track The Data

The only way to measure whether a promotion is successful or not is to put in place a form of tracking on your products. You can create special codes for each product label to allow you to keep track. Customers have to input the special code when participating in the promotion and in turn, you are able to keep track of products that participated in the promotion.

Use Your Promotions To Learn About Your Customers

Before coming up with a promotion strategy for your products, you need to ask yourself the following questions first:

  • Are consumers interested in what my company offers?
  • Do my loyal customers like to try new things?
  • Is it easier or cheaper to sell to existing or new customers?

Promotions are a great marketing tool which allows companies to learn about their customers to come up with better future marketing activity. To get accurate data, your promotion has to be successful. This is why as a business owner, you need to take the time to design and create promotional labels that will have an impact.
