Strategically place advertising. Put ads where the customers you are seeking to win will see them. For example, as 1up.com reported, ads placed in a basketball video game proved profitable for one soda company. To ensure that you place your ads effectively, and get the most bang for your buck, consider your buyers' interests before placing the ads and place them accordingly.

Pick sales types that require more spending. Instead of offering things at 50 percent off, set up a buy-one-get-one-free sale. By doing so, you can offer customers the same great savings, but require that they spend more to get these savings.

Offer incentives for more spending. Create a frequent-buyer program, or offer discounts to customers who reach a set spending threshold. Advertise these incentives to ensure that they effectively entice potential buyers.

Select your pricing carefully. Instead of pricing products evenly, such as charging $10 for an object, set prices that appear lower, such as $9.99. This often-adopted mental trick is an effective way to entice customers to buy things more readily, as they appear to cost less.

Change your products often. If you offer the same products for sale year after year, you will likely lose customers as they will already have what you are offering. To ensure that your customers stick around, continually refine and improve your product. By doing so, you can encourage those who have already bought from you to buy the bigger and better product you are offering.
