SALES PROMOTIONS
An activity designed to boost the sales of a product or service. It may include an advertising campaign, increased PR activity, a free-sample campaign, offering free gifts or trading stamps, arranging demonstrations or exhibitions, setting up competitions with attractive prizes, temporary price reductions, door-to-door calling, telemarketing, personal letters on other methods. More than any other element of the promotional mix, sales promotion is about “action”. It is about stimulating customers to buy a product. |
