increase your sales. Most businesses pick a theme for their
sale, like a Halloween Sale. Below are six unique sales
themes you could use:

the week. My days are Tuesdays and Thursdays.You
could sell your products or services for cheaper to increase
and sales on your slow days. You could have this advertised
right on your web site.
Time Of The Day Sale
Periodically , pick out a time of the day like 5 to 7 pm to
lower your prices. With online sales you need tell people
the time zone. Announce your scheduled times ahead of
time in your e-zine. This will give people enough time to
plan when they will visit your web site.
Product Or Service Of The Day Sale
Each day offer different product or service at a lower price.
This will draw people back to your web site everyday. This
is a high traffic generating sale. If you don't have a lot of
products and services you may want to run the sale weekly
or monthly.
Niche Group Sale
Hold a sale for a niche groups of people. Students, senior
citizens, single people etc. This really works if your

new target audience. Announce your sale in a targeted

People relate these kind of sales to getting a bargain or
saving money. You could offer a buy one get one for half
