The idea of getting a Request a Quote button is to deliver the most pleasant experience to the customers who have different requests and preferences on specific products of an online store. The customers can place an order without having to check out or get a call with the sales department to negotiate the price before they complete the purchase.
It might be a simple case if the customers are satisfied with your product variants and price then go straight to check out. However, a lot of customers would like to check their preferred features of products before they buy, especially the B2B customers.
There are some of scenarios that you can think about to add a Request a Quote button in your store:
1. The product quantity
If the customers buy the product with a big amount, they would prefer you have a competitive price.
2. The type of customer
To provide a better customer service, you can offer a better price for repeat customers to keep your long-term relationship with them, or a competitive price with a new customer to attract them.
3. The product customization
Some of your products might allow the customers to customize based on their preference to make this unique or your product depends on the raw materials.
4. Upon-order product
If your products are not ready-made, you could not set the standard price for them.
5. Product added cost
When the price of a product can be affected by the shipping cost and customers would like to know delivery or shipping information.
6. Selling through landing page
Impress your customers for products with an open price
7. Selling through Fanpage
Giving the customers an option to request a quote for one or many products without having to sending a message and ask price for each product
8. Selling on online website
Let customers know that the price shown can be bargained or negotiated, keep the products in the cart at more time.
9. Pre-order products
You would like to start pre-ordering for your product or to collect emails of interested customers
10. Wholesale sales increase
Wholesalers who would like to buy a big number of items on each order can be attracted if you give them a tool to negotiate with your store easily which will create more chances to increase sales and revenue.
