Sales Tip: Don't skip out on promotions

If you're looking for fun ways to interact with your customers and get them to buy from you, consider playing promotional games. 

Mac Tools distributor Paul Gast has a promo shelf that is updated to feature different weekly deals. On top of that, he likes to put games on his truck, like darts or Plinko, or run raffles.

“I even sometimes just play simple rock, paper, scissors just to make them feel like they're getting something … and they have fun doing it,” Gast says. “I always try to keep it interesting. That way, it keeps them excited to come to the truck every week. You might lose a little money because you're giving something away for free, but honestly, the guys have fun, and you should have fun, too.”
