A business owner can boost average dollar sale by getting his customers to have a minimum order amount.

**Have a Minimum $ Order Amount:**

If you’re in a service or trade business where you need to travel to your clients, you should consider a minimum dollar order. Many pizza and takeaway food stores will not deliver to your home unless you spend a minimum amount of money. This strategy is also a good idea for plumbers or mechanics with a 24-hour service.

Some companies also charge a minimum purchase price for people wishing to withdraw money using eftpos. It will turn some people away, but it’ll allow you to keep your ‘A’ Grade clients.

**Here are some useful hints and tips on using this strategy to boost average dollar sale:**

- Clearly explain why you need to enforce a minimum $ sale amount. When people understand they won’t resent it.
- Do the numbers and make it as low as possible… remember you want to make it as easy to buy from you as possible.
- Be careful with eftpos. There are very few businesses that have a minimum purchase required these days and you may look greedy and old fashioned if you have such a policy.
