Often times, as online business sellers, we forget to utilize our customer base as valuable in networking. Here are some tips on how to encourage your customers to promote your business:

• Always include best practices as a part of your business tactics. Be honest, courteous and reliable. If this happens, you can expect that your customers will network for you.

• Send out clear messages to your customers related to your expectations. Create a stake for them in your business. Know that if you send the right messages to your customers, they will be able to build a network around your product.

• Educate yourself and your employees about how to effectively network for your business. Conduct group meetings, complete training with local experts etc.

• Motivate your customers or staff by incorporating a reward or bonus for creating new business. Perhaps, free shipping or a discount on a product.

• Practice what you preach. Complete the above so that you are actually showing others that you mean business.

No matter what products you sell online, you must create a customer base. It is cost prohibitive to expect the online auction site to complete all of the advertising for your business. You must find innovative ways to continue to expand your business. Networking is just the idea that will generate business for your company.

Bottom line . . . your probability of purchase increases with the accessing of more people who could become part of your customer base. As usual, follow the best practices listed in previous blogs and continue climbing the business ladder.
