Discounts can be offered on any special occasion to make your consumers feel happy and special. Here, you need to be as creative as possible to establish your company as unique to the customers. For example, you can add a time limit to the discount to generate speedy customer response and increase product demand. The same process also works for B2B companies.

  1. Using exit popus

Another digital marketing strategy is using ‘exit pop-ups, also known as exit-intent pop-ups. It works when a visitor clicks to exit the page. That’s when they try to hook them with attractive discounting offers. Thus, a common pop-up incentive is free shipping offers. Most companies offer free shipping to make their customers fix to buy specific items. According to statistical data, Almost 95% of customers buy products with free shipping. The delivery speed of your service/product also makes the customers go back to buy more of your products.

Customer experience decides whether customers interact with the business or not. Successful customer engagement enhances customer experience and thus creates customer satisfaction.

Automated customer service or live chat is a very useful customer-engaging program. For example, if a customer asks a question about your offering products and services, you need to answer in a way that should generate a sale for that particular product. Having live chat options mean that 24/7 answer is available for visitors for any inquiry.
