This is
the full list of sales promotions that I can think of. The list is old; and the
success of the promotion lies in:
- The
quality of the idea.
- The
execution of the promotional mechanics.
- The
timing.
- The
relevance to the target market.
I thought it is a good idea to run through the list and see if there is anything you haven't thought of. Remember that just because we are tired of a promotion, doesn't mean that the customer is.
Consumer Promotions
- Value adds (like free delivery, free blow dry)
- Trade-Ins
