Struggling to get customers? You’re not the only one.
Acquiring customers is always a challenge… and with so many people cutting back on their spending, it’s getting harder.
If you’re having difficulty getting people to convert for an e-commerce or SaaS product, here’s a tactic you can try.
How to launch a product testing program?
If you want to launch a product testing program, follow these steps:
Create a special program for your target customers.
If your audience is marketers, this could be something like an “Exclusive Marketers’ Program.”
Send those people to a specific landing page advertising a discount on your product.
For best results, use a firm number, like $100 store credit, instead of a percentage discount number. It’s normally viewed as higher-value.
Ask those people to enter the email to receive their code.
Now you’ve got interested customers in your system.
Send those customers an email sequence of three or four emails with their gift card code and calls-to-action (CTAs) for purchase.
If someone’s already entered their email, they’re moderately interested in your product. You just need to give them that final push.
For best results, add scarcity to your special program. Tell people there are only, say, 100 slots.
This helps them feel like they’re part of an in-group and can boost conversions.
Why this works?
People don’t like paying full-price.
And while sitewide discounts are nice, they’re even more attractive if they’re part of a special program that speaks to one particular segment of your customers.
Add a dash of exclusivity, give people a discount in the form of a store gift card, and watch that conversion rate rise.
