Hey, it is an excellent piece of content on business, customers and profits. I enjoyed reading this article and I would appreciate the author for crafting this precise content for the business owners.

I completely agree with behavioural economics and the tools listed in the post to track the user data sounds great.

Yes, of course! Personalization has to be done for product sales as it will aid to get more leads.

Understanding the customer needs, giving freebies and sending often updates would improve the business profits.

Thanks for sharing this good article for bizsugar users.

Behavioral economics! Sounds cool.

To be honest, I am pretty new to this term.

Knowing the customer insights is important, and nowadays there are many tools and social media which make it easy to analyse the customer's behavior, and latest happening of their life.

For example, If I am selling kids product then I would keep an eye over the married ladies profiles to know something about their life as they keep sharing beautiful moments of their life.

Suppose one of those ladies going to have a kid in a month or two, then I can make use of situation, and can offer them the kids product because I am sure she is gonna need such products after 2 months.

In my opinion, this is a cool way too.

There are many ways we can get profit by understanding the behavior of the customers.

Suppose I sell a product for 100 USD out of which I get 30 USD profit per sale. But when a customer comes to me who cannot pay more than 80 USD of that product, then I can offer him to sell at 80 USD only, at least I can retain that customer and still able to make 10 USD profit.

Thanks for the post. Great one!

I would agree with the point "Some examples of Successful Targeting". I have tried it on of my product based website and it helped us a lot. Basically, adding the example of the successful target helps users/customer to understand and trust on the particular project or product. I really loved the way of presentaion.
