5 Mistakes to Avoid When Creating an Irresistible Offer Your Customers Can't Refuse

You've worked hard to succeed in business. You have a killer product or service, awesome branding, and a great website. But there's one thing missing: customers. So how do you get them? By creating an irresistible offer, of course! But be careful—there are a few pitfalls you'll want to avoid if you want to make sure your offer is as successful as possible.

1. Not Asking for the Sale 

The first mistake entrepreneurs make when creating an offer is not asking for the sale. You've put all this effort into creating an amazing offer, so don't let it go to waste by not actually asking people to buy! Make it easy for your potential customers by spelling out exactly what you want them to do and including a call-to-action that's impossible to resist.

2. Making It Too Complex 

When you're creating an offer, it's important to keep things simple. The more complicated your offer is, the less likely people are to take advantage of it. So make sure your offer is easy to understand and easy to take advantage of—the more complicated it is, the less irresistible it will be.

3. Not Offering Enough Value 

Another mistake entrepreneurs make is not offering enough value in their offers. If you want people to take you up on your offer, you need to make sure it's something they actually want or need. That means offering something of value that's relevant to your target audience—something that will solve a problem or make their life easier in some way.

4. Not Having a Sense of Urgency 

One reason people don't take advantage of offers is because they don't have a sense of urgency about them—they think they can always take advantage of the offer later on down the road. To avoid this, make sure your offer has a definite expiration date and include language that creates a sense of urgency about taking action now. This will help increase the likelihood that people will take advantage of your offer while they still can.

5. Not Following Up 

Finally, one mistake many entrepreneurs make is not following up with people who have taken advantage of their offer. After someone has made a purchase or taken some other action in response to your offer, make sure to follow up with them! Thank them for their business and let them know you appreciate their support—this follow-up step can help turn one-time buyers into lifelong fans.


Creating an irresistible offer can be tough—but it's definitely worth the effort if you want to attract more customers and grow your business. Just be sure to avoid these five common mistakes, and you'll be well on your way to success!
