There are so many concepts for cross
selling that you need to spend a few minutes to
create a chart of ideas so that you don't overlook the
opportunity when talking to your clients. Then, create
some professional samples of each item so that you
can offer a quality presentation. Photo provided by

From desktop nameplates, to room identifiers and
directional aids, there are hundreds
of applications for full-color indoor
signage. Photo provided by Sawgrass

it works much better for indoor signage
rather than for applications that are in direct sunlight for many hours per day. But
when it comes to interior locations, sublimation is by far one of the best methods
for creating long-lasting, virtually indestructible signage.
CROSS SELLING
So many concepts for cross selling exist that you need to spend a few minutes
creating a chart of ideas so that you don't
overlook the opportunity when talking to
your clients. Then, create some professional samples of each item so that you can offer a quality "show-and-tell" presentation.
A key area of cross selling is product
packaging. By this, I don't mean containers for merchandise, but rather a group
of related items that have been packaged
from a marketing perspective. Instead
of hitting a customer with a long list of
related products, you may be more effective if you build packages targeted to
specific markets.
This allows you to easily steer the client into considering multiple related
items that are complementary to his main
purchase. In addition, it provides a clear
picture of the full range of products and
services you can offer. If nothing else, you
plant a seed for future purchases.
The reality is that you already have an
established client base, so cross selling is
a logical method for squeezing more revenue out of each customer. Statistics show

that it takes about six times more energy,
effort, time and cost to cultivate a new client than to service an existing one, yet the
average business owner is more focused
on generating new leads. There's nothing wrong with expanding your customer
base, but don't ignore the huge potential
of what you have at your fingertips.
So the next time your customer orders
apparel products, be sure to ask, "Would
you like a plaque with that?"
