Assess and Reduce Operating Costs
Operating costs are the costs connected to running a business. Expenses may include items such as rent, utilities, equipment/inventory, marketing and advertising and so much more.
Your business’s operating expenses do not count for cost directly associated with product production itself. If your business is looking to cut back on expenses, the first place you may look at is your operating costs, such as your marketing and advertising.
When looking to lower or cut costs, you need to ensure you are looking at months in advance and how the reduction of an operation will impact your business overall.
Adjust Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold are the direct costs connected with making a product or delivering a service—mainly raw materials and labor.
Making sure your costs of goods sold are calculated correctly and kept consistent is highly important when pricing products. If they aren’t counted or kept track of correctly, you may find yourself overcharging or undercharging products!
Review Your Product Portfolio and Pricing
The more data product managers or project managers obtain, the more successful decision-making becomes for a business. Product portfolio management seeks to provide a comprehensive view of all the products a company produces.
By reviewing your product portfolio, your business may come to realize you can put more money towards other valuable resources–maybe you put more towards product development or product improvement.
Before adding a new product into your business, first review your product portfolio and make sure you can withstand adding a new product!
Up-sell, Cross-sell, Resell
It’s expensive to acquire new customers. Instead, smart businesses know that one of the best ways to heighten sales is by introducing current customers to additional products by upselling, cross-selling and reselling.
When implementing upselling strategies, Use an informative approach and explain how premium features may add benefits that could help the customer in ways another product couldn’t.
Cross-selling is the process of encouraging customers to purchase products or services in addition to the original items they intend to purchase.
Reselling is a way that many companies are gaining additional revenue from existing products. By offering a resell program, customers can donate or sell back products they no longer want but that are still in good condition. Reselling can be tricky at times when it comes to limiting the allowed products to do so. Being affirmative and clear with customers will be the key to successful reselling.
