Geez those guys are good. It's been a while since we've seen someone up the ante with the whole online-auction thing, but QuiBids has done it. They've basically created a system that amplifies the sense of urgency consumers feel when confronted with an awesome deal. There are reports of users winning Macnooks for $23.72, VIZIO 32 HDTV's for $2.60 and 8GB Apple iPods for $18.90. Pretty freaking incredible. How do they do it?

Know your products... ...inside and out. You can get an excellent feel for what works and what doesn't by making note of your weakest products, your strongest products, and the price points each sells for. Earlier this year, I spent a fair chunk of time and money creating a couple of new product packages for folks that needed a simple startup site. It wasn't successful. Fortunately, I keep records of sales meetings on new products, so I began to review them to look for the problem. ]]> http://aquavitacreative.com/10-things-learned-about-business-part-two/feed/ 0 http://aquavitacreative.com/10-things-learned-in-2009-1/ http://aquavitacreative.com/10-things-learned-in-2009-1/#comments Wed, 30 Dec 2009 23:17:34 +0000 Jonathan Cox http://aquavitacreative.com/?p=1098 1. Be ethical Times are tough, and sales are more difficult to come by in many industries. There are those who price gouge, or leave their customers high and dry at the first sign of complaint, and they get away with it, right? It's rough being one of the good guys right now, keeping prices fair and placing high importance on customer service and quality assurance. But don't be duped. What goes around comes around. If you work hard and you're good to your customers, it'll pay back in spades. ]]> http://aquavitacreative.com/10-things-learned-in-2009-1/feed/ 0 http://aquavitacreative.com/aqua-vita-creative-a-debt-free-cash-operated-company/ http://aquavitacreative.com/aqua-vita-creative-a-debt-free-cash-operated-company/#comments Sun, 01 Nov 2009 04:10:57 +0000 Jonathan Cox http://aquavitacreative.com/?p=984 ]]> http://aquavitacreative.com/aqua-vita-creative-a-debt-free-cash-operated-company/feed/ 1
