instagram story idea to get sales today

I love seeing small businesses succeed. I know how hard you work to build your business and I want to help make it easier for you.

Which is exactly why I’m this blog post I’m going to give you a way to go and make sales from your Instagram stories right now AND get them to come back again.

Are ya ready? Here’s what you’re going to do.

1️⃣ Post on your story with this question & the poll sticker.

“I’m curious! Have you bought from me before?’

Your poll answers are going to be yes and not yet.

PRO TIP - Make sure your story is super eye catching, red text is a great way to grab attention.

2️⃣ You’re going to message everyone who voted yes with something along the lines of the below in your own words.

“Hey! I saw your vote on my poll and I just wanted to say thank you so much for supporting my business, it means more to me than you’ll ever know! I’d love to offer you 30% off your next order with code BABE”

Try and personalise the message with the persons name if you have it, people love personalisation.

3️⃣ You’re going to message everyone who voted not yet saying something along the lines of the below in your own words.

“Hey! Thank you for voting on my poll and supporting my page, it means so much to me! I’d love to offer you 40% off your first order to say thank you! You can claim it use code THANKS”

Again, try and personalise this message if you can.

Why are you offering them different discounts?

Because the people who HAVEN’T bought from you before are a colder lead.
You can tell which type of person bought in the most sales.

HERE’S HOW YOU’RE GOING TO GET THEM TO COME BACK:

Set up an automated email so that when they make a purchase they’ll get an email a week or so later thanking them for their purchase and offer them another incentive to come back.

This time could be a smaller discount or maybe free delivery.

You want your customers to become raving fans, if you can get them to order from you twice then you’re going to be off to an amazing start!
