2. Ensure your business sells products or services with good profit margin and

3. Ensure your business sells products or services with good repeat purchase potential

This entrepreneur article discusses the third item above . . . the need to sell products with good repeat purchase potential.

The Impact of Repeat Purchase On Business Profit

How does repeat purchase increase your business profit?

Well, repeat purchase means that customers who have previously purchased products or services from your business return to buy again.

When existing customers return to buy again, they help grow your business sales and your profit in two ways:

1. Their new purchase amounts to new sales

2. Their new purchase is achieved at zero advertising cost. Therefore, the greater the number of customers who buy again from you, the less your cost of sales and the greater your business profit.

Business experts will tell you that it takes far more money to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing customer.

Therefore, as the founder and CEO of your own business, you must laser focus on increasing the percentage of existing customers who return to buy from you again.

Do the following:

1. Choose to sell products or services that people can easily return to buy again e.g. food products, cleaning products, health products etc

2. Sell products with good profit margin

3. Offer top notch after-sales service and customer support

4. Offer existing customers discounts that encourage them to buy in bulk

5. Have a database of existing customers so you can reach them with new offers at reasonable intervals (and without being intrusive)

6. Run promotions targeted at existing customers . . . promotions that gives them incentives to be loyal to your company

Remember that the goal of starting a business venture (or a company) is to make profit. And the more your sales volume grow, the more profit you make.

So, focus on making your existing customers super satisfied so they keep buying from you. And, more importantly, so they can leave impressive reviews in social media that will attract even more customers to your business at zero advertising cost.
