If you want to have repeat business, think about email marketing. Ask your customers to sign up for your newsletter when you make a sale. In order to assist your customers with joining your email list, add a sign up page to your site's main page. Try to ask customers for limited, relevant information only. In most cases, all you need are your customers' names and email addresses. Clearly state the type of content that will be included in your emails. Be consistent in sending your newsletter out at regular intervals. If you can, use programs that allow you to personalize the email you send. In addition, remember the information your customers will probably enjoy the most: savings through sales, coupons and discounts. Finally, use email as a way to receive feedback, and send thank-you letters when appropriate.

You should also consider how to communicate those products to your customers. Start with proven techniques and then proceed to new concepts to keep your marketing fresh.
