Learn How to Upsell Successfully with SalesVu ECommerce Website

Posted by salesvu

Upselling is an important part of any business. By recommending the right additional products to customers, your business can enjoy increased sales, increased revenues, and more satisfied customers. However, becoming too pushy or using the wrong sales tactics can turn customers away. That’s why we’ve provided some tips to help you upsell more successfully.

Thoroughly Train Your Employees

It is important to make appropriate suggestions based on what your customer has purchased, ordered, or is interested in. Your employees or servers should be well versed on the products in inventory so that they can better explain them to customers and find the appropriate complementary items or accessories.

Provide Useful Suggestions

If possible, suggest more than one item. Giving customers a choice makes them feel more in control and will make them more likely to purchase one of the complementary items. If there are items that are generally purchased together, then consider creating a package deal or have your employees recommend the bestselling duo whenever a customer purchases one of the items. For instance, if they are purchasing electronics, your employees can recommend batteries, cases, or other accessories to complement their new electronics.

Make Yourself Known

Greet your customers as they walk in the door, get to know them, find out why they came, and make yourself readily available in case they have questions. If possible, engage in conversation regarding what they are purchasing, without following them around the store.

Read Your Customer

Not every customer wants to buy more than what they came in for. Pushing a sale on a customer who is unlikely to buy anything will only scare them away from your business altogether. Learn to read your customers, so that you can tailor your approach to better suit their needs.

Be Prepared

Many people feel nervous about upselling or suggesting items to customers. Provide your employees with a suggestion on how to approach customers. Some businesses even script out a compelling sales pitch, which employees can use and change as they please.

Leave Goodies By the Register

There is a reason that stores put irresistible sweets and affordable finds near the register. While people are spending time in line or at the register, give them something to be tempted by. Your employees can easily mention the small goodies to customers. You can also offer incentives, such as discounts when a customer hits a certain price point. This will make them more likely to increase their order or buy the little items by the register.

Invest in a POS System

A POS system can take all of the guesswork out of upselling. It will recommend the right products to suggest based on the customer’s purchases. This will make employees feel more confident selling those items. With a POS system, your employees can also pull up all items in inventory (and information relating to those items), so that they can quickly answer any questions about the products. Contact SalesVu to begin benefitting from a POS system and upselling more.

Seminar Brewing is a proud user of SalesVu restaurant POS.

“We operate a tasting room within our brewery. The space doubles as brew space, so our restaurant POS needed to be mobile and able to be packed away when not in use. In addition, we participate in beer festivals where merchandise sales are encouraged. A mobile POS solution allows us to process credit and debit cards on the go.”

Seminar Brewing considered as other options Square, ShopKeep, and NCR Silver, but chose SalesVu over all because of its broad range of features, simple and the easy organization of the interface. They told us about the immense advantage of having an open tab management within SalesVu restaurant POS.

“Creating open tabs for our customers is easy, and viewing or reviewing sales activity is simple. It’s easy to get a daily sales summary and sales breakdown by category; we make a bank deposit for the cash portion the next morning. Credit card deposits in Quickbooks are made only when they are posted to the bank account, so we use a spreadsheet to track credit card deposits.”

SalesVu gives Seminar the ability to process credit and debit card transactions without any barriers to customer spending. The “only cash” sign has been removed while ago!

“SalesVu restaurant POS also allow us to track tasting room sales of different products. Although we haven’t calculated the exact breakdown of money saved upfront, we know that the other products’ combined costs of the restaurant software solution, plus card processing fees, were much higher.

Improve the Restaurant Experience and Engage with Your Customers with SalesVu Customer Relationship management

Posted by salesvu

Every customer interaction you have is another way of gaining their continued business and loyalty. Read our tips on how to improve each interaction so that your customers are more likely to return time and time again.

Improve the Service

Getting your employees involved can quickly transform your business and leave your employees feeling more upbeat, which can lead to better customer interactions and more employee and customer retention. Ask for their suggestions, offer employee promotions and contests, and make sure everyone knows the menu inside and out. Anonymous employee surveys can gauge their satisfaction, feedback, and insight into management and how the business is run.

Make sure your employees understand the importance of customer service. For starters, they should introduce themselves to each table, have a friendly demeanor, and be able to answer any questions about the menu and preparation. They should be alert, attentive, and quick to meet your customers’ needs so that patrons want to return for the ambience, food, service, and overall experience.

Get In Your Customers’ Shoes

In order to really make lasting changes, you need to know what is, and is not, working. The best way to do this is to see things from your customers’ perspective. Consider leaving suggestion cards that customers can fill out. Leave them in the bill and offer a discount or free meal if customers are willing to fill them out. Patrons love to feel like they are being heard and suggestion cards is one great way of accomplishing this.

Offer More Menu and Dining Options

Restaurant patrons love options. Consider offering take-out, delivery, and/or curbside to-go options so that your customers can get their favorite food faster. This can also reduce labor costs, free up tables, and increase profits quickly. Consider also adding new menu items featuring seasonal produce, local ingredients, and weekly specials so your patrons can always try something new and exciting. They will want to visit more often to see what new items the chef has prepared.

Consider updating your brand image, logo, e-commerce site, storefront, and awning. Make sure to also clearly display and promote your new menu options with colorful posters, menu boards, or through online campaigns.

Tech Updates

With POS solutions, servers are able to take orders at the table, send them where they need to go (such as directly to the bar or kitchen), open multiple tabs, split checks, and more from any terminal, which will make your servers’ lives easier. Most importantly, it helps ensure every order is right, that your inventory is updated, and can even help track customer purchase patterns.

How to Create Successful Holiday Promotions with SalesVu iPad POS System and Marketing Automation

Posted by salesvu

The holidays are right around the corner, so it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to prepare your business for the busy shopping season. Your customers want to feel cheery during the holiday season and, fortunately, you don’t have to spend much to decorate your business and get in the holiday spirit.

DIY Decorations

Go for subtle, but expressive, decorations that add a modern, classy flare to your storefront. Stick to traditional holiday color palettes, like red and green, blue and white, or silver and gold. Encourage employees to decorate their areas, while being aware of others’ space and religious sensitivities. Consider a team decorating event or contest, so your employees can feel more pride in where they work and what they’ve done to ring in the holidays.

Get Your Customers Involved

Some of the most successful holiday promotions and branding efforts involve some form of customer interaction. Whether your customers get to leave their name on a snowflake after a donation, can make suggestions for holiday décor on your social media, or can win freebies and goodies with their holiday purchases, find a way to get your customers involved.

Create Gift Sets

If you are trying to sell more items from inventory, consider creating gift sets. This can include something like a customer favorite with a less popular item to entice customers to try new things, while turning over inventory much more quickly. Make sure to also offer special deals, free shipping, or other ways of enticing your customers to shop at your business more both during and after the holidays.

Replenish Your Inventory

The last thing you want is to run out of inventory during the holidays. When your customers want to purchase a gift, if your business is out of stock, they will just go elsewhere. This is a busy time of year and the last thing your customers want is to have to come back twice for the same thing. Get control of your inventory with our inventory management tools so you know what your customers love most and never have to worry about running out again.

Update Your Packaging

Try updating your packaging to include winter scenes and non-religious holiday elements, such as snowflakes and snowmen. This can make your product instantly themed or limited edition, and more appealing to customers who want to get in the holiday spirit.

Establish Your Online Presence

Make sure your customers know where to find you online, so you can inform them of holiday promotions quickly and effectively. Consider updating your website or e-commerce site to feature holiday-related designs or content to bring holiday cheer to every aspect of your business.

Get On Board With Loyalty Programs and Gift Cards

If you haven’t already done so, now is the time to start offering loyalty reward programs and gift cards.
