Allow your prospects to choose between a retail
or wholesale price. Of course you need to make a profit on the wholesale price. Just charge people a monthly or yearly membership fee to always get your products at wholesale cost. Your business would be like the offline wholesale shopping clubs.
 

Have visitors fill out a survey on your web site.
Give them a free gift as an incentive to complete the form. You can e-mail the results of the survey and offer them a free e-book as a gift for completing your survey. Of course your ad will be in the free e-book.
 

Create new products or services only if there is
a strong need for them. You won't have anyone to sell them to if you don't have a market. For example, you could survey your e-zine subscribers or web site visitors and just ask them what kind of products they are interested in buying.
 

Trade content with other e-zine publishers or web
sites. This is a powerful and effective way to place your links on other targeted web sites. For example, trade articles with other e-zine publishers. Another example, you could trade free e-books and give them away to each other.
 

Most people want to associate with others who
have the same interests. Give your prospects a free membership to a private chat room just for them. For example, you could also attract traffic to your web site by providing a free message board or chat room.
 

Give out free web space on your server. Many
of your visitors may want to publish their own web site. Just require that they publish your banner ad. For example, if you gave away 100 free web pages and got only 1 hit a week off each one, that would be an extra 5200 visitors a year!
 

Give a percentage of your profits to a cause your
customers would like. It could be a charity, school, environmental improvements, etc. For example, you could say, "Our business will donate $2.50 from each product sold to the local library to help teach kids how to read."
 

Improve your customer service on a regular basis.
Try out new technologies that make it easier to communicate with your customers over the net. For example, you could communicate with your customers or visitors by phone, instant message, web site messages, chat rooms, message boards, video conferencing, fax, e-mail, etc.
 

Use reverse psychology on your banner ads.
You could tell people not to click on your banner ad. For example, "Don't Click Here If You Are Comfortable With Your Looks." Another example, "Stop! Don't Click Here Unless You're Wealthy!"
