Get Out of a Slump

We all have times of year when business slows down. Many web-based businesses watch sales dip during the summer months when customers are outside and off the Internet.

Here are a couple of ways you can jump-start business to get a quick increase in sales.

Give your biz a jolt of free publicity. Suggest yourself as a guest on a local talk radio show (talk about your area of expertise). Write a short how-to article for an e-zine. Send a fan letter to an on-line business and tell them it's ok to use it as a testimonial on their web site. Create a new web page on a hot topic lots of people are interested in and register your page with all the major search engines.

Place ads in a few new places. Try ads in a neighborhood newspaper, in your industry newsletter, or in an e-zine you haven't tried before. Because this will be the first time readers will see your ad, you will get a burst of response from all those people who like to try new things.
