Best Tips to Run Effective Promotions

April 30, 2019

promotionsSales, specials and promotions can be an effective tool, both for drawing new and existing customers into a store, and getting them to spend more once they’re in. But when promotions are executed broadly, haphazardly, or without a specific goal or target in mind, they can actually hurt the bottom line.

Today, we’ll discuss a few tips for running a coordinated, effective promotion, courtesy of Harvard Business Review.

Match the Tool to the Job

What’s the goal of your promotion – to increase total spend, to make more sales, to attract new customers, or something else? Make sure the offer matches that intended outcome.

Promote at the Right Time

Understanding when customers shop is key to running a successful promotion. In one recent study, customers were more likely to respond to promotions during holiday shopping seasons and on weekends. Offering weekday promotions may not get busy customers in the door. Look at your sales data to determine when and how your customers shop, and run promotions accordingly.

Select the Right Products

When deciding which products to place on promotion, look at sales data to determine which will have the biggest ROI. Often, everyday basics are not huge drivers, but in-season or limited-time items may bring more customers into the store. In addition, be careful not to overly promote certain marquee items, at risk of eroding their value.

Target the Most Impactful Customers

Examine your point of sale data to determine which customers are most likely to participate in the promotion, and to help you meet your goal.

A point of sale system is an essential tool for tracking sales, identifying trends, and planning promotions. Contact Retail Tech to find the POS system that is right for your store.
