Certain patterns affect buyers’ decisions. For this particular post, I want to look at the external influences that made me buy my laptop at the time I bought it and at the price I bought it.
My laptop is about 5 months old now but you could still say it's new, it works like new so that’s one nice thing. The laptop is an MSI dragon GF56 thin 9 CSRX. I was looking for a laptop with a high processioning speed (particularly a gamer laptop which this one is) and I wanted it to be light. I got want I wanted but the question is why did I buy from the seller?
Before I met this buyer I went through an Instagram page that my brother gave to me and tried to see if I would see anything I liked and I did but their prices were not conducive and they lacked lower options so I just held my money and waited.
I later got the news that a friend of mine had gotten a gaming laptop for $1,000 so I went to check out the specs of his laptop, it was everything I needed and for a price, I would have minded. He told me the seller had other laptops, I was hell-bent on buying the one, my friend had. My friend wanted to earn money through referrals so he marketed a new laptop (the one I own now) to me.
After some research on YouTube and further consideration, I took the laptop and I loved it. The only difference between my $800 laptop and his $1000 Razor was the memory the rest of the specs were the same.
If I owned a laptop sales business
- I would do it online and have a shop but mostly online.
- I would have pages on every popular social media.
- I would have a referral system for everybody to benefit from and that is what I would advertise more than the laptops themselves.
- I would invest in ads for the referral program.
- I would have many laptops available and always say yes to customers regardless of the type of laptop and specs.
