Pros
- Boosts foot traffic which can lead to more sales opportunities and brand exposure.
- Encourages repeat visits by giving customers a compelling reason to return to the store.
- Creates urgency and excitement around your brand, making it more memorable.
- Attracts new customers who might not have visited otherwise, expanding your customer base.
- Improves customer satisfaction by providing added value through discounts.
- Generates word-of-mouth marketing as satisfied customers spread the news about deals.
- Supplements other marketing efforts like social media and email campaigns for a well-rounded strategy.
Cons
- Reduces profit margins as discounts mean selling products at lower prices.
- Can attract deal-seekers rather than loyal customers, leading to fewer long-term relationships.
- Potentially devalues your brand if discounts are too frequent, making customers less willing to pay full price.
- Increases operational costs due to the need for promotional materials and possibly extra staffing.
- Might disappoint some customers if deals are not available to everyone, leading to dissatisfaction.
- Risk of stock shortages if not managed properly, leading to poor customer experiences.
