Whether you’ve been experiencing a lull or are just looking to boost business, trying to figure out how to do so can be difficult. There are lots of other businesses out there, all of them vying for the consumer’s attention and the contents of their wallets. Trying to stand out amongst the plethora of other businesses out there can be tough. At Tomarchio Enterprises, we’ve been helping business owners, large and small, with all of their real estate needs, and we wanted to talk today about five tips to help you boost traffic to your business.
1. Host an Event
One way to easily drive some traffic to your business is to hold an event. This could be a social with drink and light fare or anything related to your business. The whole idea is that the event draws people to you, and once there, they can potentially become customers/clients.
2. Change Your Exterior
A business’ exterior is a vital space that needs to be utilized to try and attract potential customers. How does the exterior of your business look? If it’s a little bare, consider adding something to entice people to check you out. If it’s been a while since you updated the exterior, just changing things up may be enough to encourage people to come into your business.
3. Reduce the Amount of Time Spent in a Line
Nobody likes to spend a long time waiting in line to buy something, and it can even cause people to walk in and walk out. Whether you hire an extra cashier, update your register system, or set up some manner of automated checkout, speeding up the checkout process can help boost traffic.
4. Create a Loyalty Program
Loyalty programs are great. Customers love getting added bonuses just for shopping, and business owners love how the program encourages people to return. If you don’t have a loyalty program, you should seriously consider starting one.
5. Offer In-Store Only Items
If you do business both online and in a traditional brick-and-mortar, one way you can boost traffic to the brick-and-mortar is to offer in-store exclusive items. Selling online can be a great way to boost sales, but many businesses still want to boost their traditional location sales. Having some items or services available only in-store can be a good way to do this.
