Strapped for Cash? 7 Ways to Have a Sale Today

Want to encourage people on your email list to buy one (or more) of your products or programs sooner than later? Have a sale! The following are 7 ways that you can provide value to your potential clients/customers and still bring in a profit for you at the same time.

1. Half-Off Sale

Offer your product or program for 50% off its usual price. That may seem like a big discount – and it is – which means that many more people are likely to buy it.

Or go one step further and offer all your products or programs at 50% off (except any one-on-one work with you, of course!). I’ve been thinking about buying a few products over the past year from one site, and when they had a 50% off sale recently, I jumped at the chance to buy not just one, but three products for half-price.

2. Close-Out Sale

Do you have a product or a program that you are no longer going to offer, perhaps to make room for some other offerings? Or are you coming out with a new version of one of your offerings? Have a close-out sale by offering a deep discount.

As an added bonus, you could then offer those people who bought your offering at the close-out price that same amount in a discount if they buy the new version.

Here’s a bit of inspiration for you: My recent close-out sale brought me over $10k in less than a week.

3. Re-Gift Sale

Remember the Seinfeld episode about re-gifting? Do something similar for the stock of any of your products that have been returned. “Re-gift” the ones in good condition to a new buyer for a discount.

4. VIP Sale

Offer a coupon or promo code ONLY to your email list, or to your clients, or to those people who have bought from you before, that is good towards the purchase of any one or all of your offerings. You can set this up in your shopping cart system very easily, so there’s no other extra work on your part.

5. Free Shipping Sale

Offer free shipping on any of your physical products for a limited time, or offer free shipping on all orders over a certain amount.

Personally, if I’m looking to purchase something online, I will hunt through a half dozen or so websites to find the one that offers free shipping and make my purchase through them (price of item being equal).

6. Bonus Sale

Add a valuable bonus or two to your offering for a limited time. It can be something you’ve created or something from one of your colleagues that your niche would benefit from.

Leverage this kind of sale by doing a “bonus sale swap” with a colleague, where they would offer a bonus from you and vice versa. Your own sale will bring you cash, and your bonus offering for your colleague’s sale will bring you more subscribers to your list, which will ultimately bring you more cash.

7. Just Because Sale

This is a favorite of mine – having a sale just because – it’s your birthday, you want to show your gratitude to your list, it’s the 1, 5, or 10 year anniversary of when you went into business for yourself, or for any other reason you can think of.

Having a sale WILL increase your Sales, but there are some cautions to take when doing so. Only have a sale occasionally, and when you do, have a compelling reason for it. Otherwise, if it seems you’re always having a sale, you’re planting a seed in your potential buyer’s mind that your offerings may not be worth their usual price.

So, which kind of sale are you going to have to put some extra cash in your pocket?

Agricultural Companies of Israel: Carmel Agrexco, Netafim, Plastro Irrigation Systems, Rotem $8.41 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Carmel Agrexco (or in short Agrexco), established in 1956, is Israels largest exporter of agricultural produce, with the European Union one of its major markets. Today, the Carmel label markets 350,000 tons of fresh produce and flowers exported around the world, yielding an annual turnover of $580 million. “Carmel” is the internationally recognized brand name used by Agrexco for fresh produce exports from Israel. Agrexco is a state-owned company, with 50% of its stock held by the State of Israel, 25% by the Israeli Production and Marketing Boards, and 25% by Tnuva. In August 2008, the Israeli government approved a privatization program for Agrexco, stipulating that at least 51% of Agrexco’s stock should be tendered to private investors. This decision follows in the wake of the recently completed transformation of Tnuva from a cooperative owned by Israeli farmers (kibbutzim and moshavim) to a private company owned by Apax Partners. In 2007, Agrexco marketed 435,000 tons of fresh agricultural produce with a turnover of 653 million. This consisted mainly of vegetables (47%), cut flowers (19%), and fruits (14%). In addition to exporting the produce of Israeli farmers inside the Green Line and in West Bank settlements, Agrexco is the main export channel to Europe for Palestinian fresh produce from Gaza (carnations, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, vine tomatoes), which is marketed under the Coral brand name. Agrexco has a global network of marketing branches operating in London, Frankfurt, Paris, Rotterdam, New York, Zurich, Vienna, Madrid, and Milan. Special sales offices in Israel deal with countries where Agrexco does not have representative offices, such as Eastern Europe, the Far and Near East. Carmel Agrexco’s main UK depot … More:

Aldo Nova Songs: Songs Written by Aldo Nova, a New Day Has Come, You and I, This Is the Night, Fantasy, Monkey on Your Back $8.78 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Songs Written by Aldo Nova, a New Day Has Come, You and I, This Is the Night, Fantasy, Monkey on Your Back, Blood on the Bricks, Foolin’ Yourself. Excerpt: “A New Day Has Come” is the lead single from Céline Dion’s comeback album A New Day Has Come, released on March 11, 2002. The song was written by Aldo Nova and Stephan Moccio and produced by Walter Afanasieff and Nova as a piano-driven ballad in 6/8 time. However, the midtempo radio remix co-produced by Ric Wake was released as the lead track. Both versions are included on the album. The “A New Day Has Come” music video was directed by Dave Meyers and premiered in March 2002. “A New Day Has Come” was very successful around the world. On the U.S. Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks, the song broke the record for most weeks at number 1: it stayed on top twenty-one weeks. The previous record holders were Phil Collins’ “You’ll Be in My Heart” and Céline Dion’s own “Because You Loved Me,” both of which lasted nineteen weeks at number 1. However, as of today, the record has been surpassed, as “Drift Away” by Uncle Kracker featuring Dobie Gray remained twenty-eight weeks at number 1 in 2004. Ironically, it was Céline Dion who almost took the crown from “Drift Away,” but “Have You Ever Been in Love” stopped at number 2 for fourteen weeks, which is another record. In the U.S., the single appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 because of airplay only, reaching number 22 (also number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay). The DVD single was released four months later in the U.S., peaking at number 11 on the Top Music Video and number 16 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales. It has sold 45,000 copies and was certified gold. “A New Day Has Come” CD single was also certified gold in Australia (35,000), Greece (30,000) an…

An online analytic-deliberative approach to public participation for transportation investment decisions. $49.99 In the United States transportation planners and decision-makers are progressively turning to local taxes to finance transportation improvements. These measures, such as an increase in the sales tax or gas tax, offer the opportunity to pay for critical projects which might not be afforded otherwise. Typically the tax increases are proposed as ballot initiatives and require voter approval. Unfortunately, the public does not always agree with the projects that have been chosen for the proposals. Experience has shown that success at the ballot is more likely when there is ample public participation when deciding which taxes should be increased and which project(s) should receive the funding. The traditional approach to public participation is the “town hall meeting.” This dissertation introduces an innovative approach that uses today’s information and communication technologies to involve a greater number of people. In the approach, an optimization tool is used to help the participants analyze the decision; and online discussion tools are used to help them deliberate over the issues. These tools are presented in the context of a case study in which members of the public were invited to analyze and discuss a transportation investment decision for the Seattle, Washington metropolitan area. The case study occurred over the Internet for a 31 day period and involved 133 participants.

Consumer Electronics Retail Companies of the United States: Fry’s Electronics $9.8 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Fry’s Electronics is a big-box store and retailer of software, consumer electronics, computer hardware and household appliances with a chain of superstores headquartered in Silicon Valley. Starting with one store located in Sunnyvale, California, by 2007 the chain posted sales of $2.35 billion and operated 34 stores in nine states. Fry’s Electronics oldest operating store, in Palo Alto, California Current store in Sunnyvale, California Fry’s Electronics store in Downers Grove, IL Industrial revolution themed store in the City of Industry, CAIn 1972, Charles Fry sold the Fry’s Supermarkets chain for $40 million and gave a portion of the proceeds to each of his sons, John, Randy, and Dave. The Fry brothers had little interest in grocery store retailing. Instead, in 1985, they joined together with a fourth partner, Kathryn Kolder, to open the first Fry’s Electronics store at a 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m) site in Sunnyvale, California. Today, Fry’s Food and Drug stores are owned and operated by Kroger and are not affiliated with Fry’s Electronics, although they share a similar logo. The original Sunnyvale store (located near the intersection of Oakmead Parkway and Lakeside Drive) stocked numerous high-tech supplies such as integrated circuits, test and measurement equipment, and computer components, as well as software and various other types of consumer electronics. The store also sold T-shirts, technical books and magazines including Playboy. At first, approximately half the store was stocked with groceries including fresh produce, but the groceries section quickly diminished to displays of soft drinks and snack foods. The second store was in Fremont, California, on Mission Court, and pioneered the “theme” stores. It had a space theme and had many a… More:

Customers Rule!: How to Develop Winning E-Commerce $4.03 Two marketing experts show how cybersellers can combine the skills of bricks-and-mortar retailers with an understanding of the new digital customer to make themselves winners in the e-commerce revolution. From the Publisher: Customers Rule! Roger D. Blackwell and Kristina Stephan Business / Economics / Finance Crown Business Hardcover Customers Rule! The high-tech honeymoon is over and customers are choosing the winners today and it doesn’t matter to them whether those businesses operate out of a storefront or reach them through a computer screen. Any company that’s still debating whether the future belongs to traditional bricks-and-mortar stores or the dot-coms is probably already losing the battle.Retail executives, consultants, and marketing firms alike have been jumping on the e-commerce bandwagon, proclaiming the end of retail as we know it. The numbers tell a different story. It’s become clear that the Internet is not a revolution in retail it’s an evolutionary force and nothing more. No one can deny that the Internet has changed the way we live, communicate, and work, but the Internet is not where the retail war is being waged.Today’s battles are being fought supply chain against supply chain. The weapons are consumer-savvy sales, marketing and fulfillment organizations, multichannel retail, distribution and marketing operations, and yes, the Internet. The mission is complex and demands new skills and strategies, but the goal is a simple one: solving customers’ problems better than their competitors and with better-than-current solutions. Roger Blackwell and Kristina Stephan have spent years watching, analyzing, and advising the players. In Customers Rule! they offer case studies that reveal the inside story of successful operations like Victoria’s Secret, L.L. Bean, Nordstrom’s, Sherwin-Williams, and a dozen other corporations companies that have created a blended strategy that combines the best of online and o

Chapters: Dream Theater, List of Dream Theater Songs, List of Dream Theater Band Members, Winterspell. Excerpt: Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Petrucci , John Myung , and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts , before they dropped out to support the band. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remain today along with James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess .Dream Theater has become a successful progressive metal band. Although the band has had one successful hit (“Pull Me Under ” in 1992, which received extensive MTV rotation), they have remained relatively low in mainstream music sales.The band is well known for the technical proficiency of its instrumentalists, who have won many awards from music instruction magazines. Dream Theater’s members have collaborated with many other notable musicians. Guitarist John Petrucci has been named as the third player on the G3 tour six times, more than any other invited guitarist, following in the footsteps of Eric Johnson and Robert Fripp . Drummer Mike Portnoy has won 23 awards from Modern Drummer Magazine and is also the second youngest person (at the age of 37) to be inducted into the Rock Drummer Hall of Fame.The band’s highest selling album is the gold selling Images and Words (1992), which reached #61 on the Billboard 200 charts. Both the 1994 release Awake and their 2002 release Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence also entered the charts at #32 and #46 respectively and received mostly positive reviews. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence also led to Dream Theater becoming the initial band reviewed in the Music Section of Entertainment Weekly during its opening week of release, despite the magazine generally preferring

Edelbrock $91.1 Edelbrock Corporation is a specialty performance automotive and motorcycle aftermarket parts manufacturer based in Torrance, California. The company has five locations, including four in Torrance: its headquarters, a distribution center and museum, the Russell division (which also houses the shock manufacturing center), and the exhaust plant. Its foundry is in San Jacinto, California. Vic Edelbrock founded the corporation in 1938. When his desire to increase the performance of his 32 Ford Roadster led him to design a new intake manifold, friends and fellow drivers soon wanted one as well. This transformed his repair garage into a parts manufacturing enterprise, making one-of-a-kind equipment for automobiles. In many ways, Vic Edelbrock helped to invent the automotive aftermarket parts industry. Today, Edelbrock manufactures over 8,000 automotive parts for racers and hobbyists, focusing on increased performance. The company relies on online and catalog resellers and thus offers no direct sales for the bulk of its catalog.

Free Ride: How Digital Parasites are Destroying the Culture Business, and How the Culture Business Can Fight Back $20 How did the newspaper, music, and film industries go from raking in big bucks to scooping up digital dimes? Their customers were lured away by the free ride of technology. Now, business journalist Robert Levine shows how they can get back on track.On the Internet, “information wants to be free.” This memorable phrase shaped the online business model, but it is now driving the media companies on whom the digital industry feeds out of business. Today, newspaper stocks have fallen to all-time lows as papers are pressured to give away content, music sales have fallen by more than half since file sharing became common, TV ratings are plum­meting as viewership migrates online, and publishers face off against Amazon over the price of digital books. In Free Ride, Robert Levine narrates an epic tale of value destruction that moves from the corridors of Congress, where the law was passed that legalized YouTube, to the dorm room of Shawn Fanning, the founder of Napster; from the bargain-pricing dramas involving iTunes and Kindle to Google’s fateful decision to digitize first and ask questions later. Levine charts how the media industry lost control of its destiny and suggests innovative ways it can resist the pull of zero. Fearless in its reporting and analysis, Free Ride is the busi­ness history of the decade and a much-needed call to action.

Chapters: Noni Juice, Juice, Smoothie, Clamato, Kraut Juice, Aojiru, Bonji Water, Ceres Fruit Juices, Juice Bar, Nectar, Trip, Juissi. Excerpt: Aojiru (? ) is a Japanese vegetable drink most commonly made from kale . The drink is also known as green drink or green juice in English, a direct translation of the Japanese meaning. (In modern Japanese, the character ao means “blue”, but it is commonly still used in older contexts to refer to green vegetation.)Aojiru was developed in October 1943 by Dr. Niro Endo (, End Nir ? ), an army doctor who experimented with juices extracted from the discarded leaves of various vegetables in an attempt to supplement his family’s meager wartime diet. He credited the cure of his son from pneumonia and of his wife from nephritis to aojiru, and in 1949 concluded that kale was the best ingredient for his juice. Aojiru was popularized in 1983 by Q’SAI (? ), who started marketing 100 % kale aojiru in powdered form as a dietary supplement , and sales boomed after 2000 when cosmetics giant Fancl started mass retailing of the juice. Today, many Japanese companies manufacture aojiru, usually using kale, young barley or komatsuna leaves as the base of the drink, and the size of the aojiru market was well over $500 million in 2005. The taste of aojiru is famously unpleasant, so much so that drinking a glass of the liquid is a common punishment on Japanese TV game shows . However, new formulations of aojiru have attempted to minimize the bitter taste of the original.References (URLs online) A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at Bonji Water (Malayalam : ) is a variant of lime juice, traditionally called naranga vellam , is an ethnic preparation of lime juice prevalent in southern parts of Kerala , India .This is usually prepared by crushing sliced lemon
