Overview of the Promotions Page

Introduction

Welcome to the Promotions Page! Here, you can create and manage discount codes, tie them to affiliates, and enhance your business promotions. Let’s dive in!

1. Types of Discount Codes

You have three main options for discount codes:

  • Free Delivery Code: Applicable if you offer in-house delivery (note that third-party services won’t deliver for free).
  • Percentage Off: For example, offer 10% off a $100 order, saving customers $10.
  • Fixed Amount Off: A specific discount, like $20 or $5 off an order.

2. Setting Limits and Requirements

  • Maximum Uses Globally: Define how many times a code can be used across all users.
  • Maximum Uses Per User: Set limits for individual users, e.g., “Jimmy can use this code three times.”
  • Maximum Discount Value: Cap the discount, e.g., a 50% off code valid up to $200, ensuring no customer receives more than $200 off.

3. Minimum Purchase and Tips

  • Minimum Subtotal Required: For instance, offer $5 off orders over $100 to encourage larger purchases.
  • Minimum Tip Option: Rarely used, this feature ensures your couriers receive tips when offering free delivery.

4. Expiry and Exclusivity

  • Expiry Date: Set an expiration for codes, e.g., “20% off until January 1, 2024.”
  • Exclusivity: Codes can be limited to specific regions rather than available globally.

5. Affiliate Management

  • Affiliate Email: Enter an affiliate’s email to track commissions based on code usage. You can pay them via a percentage of sales or a flat fee per usage. This will be reflected in your revenue by order report.

6. Specific User Codes

  • Custom Codes for Support: Provide unique promotion codes to individual customers for support purposes. While you can use promotion codes for this, consider using store credit for a more professional approach.

Welcome to the Promotions Page! This feature is essential for any business looking to enhance its marketing strategy through effective promotions and discounts. Here, you can create and manage discount codes, link them to affiliates, and make your business stand out. Let’s dive into how you can leverage this powerful tool to drive sales and customer engagement.

1. Types of Discount Codes

The Promotions Page offers three primary types of discount codes to suit your business needs:

  • Free Delivery Code: Perfect for businesses with in-house delivery. This option can attract customers, but be mindful that third-party delivery services typically won’t deliver for free.

  • Percentage Off: For instance, offering 10% off a $100 order provides customers with a $10 saving, making your offerings more enticing.

  • Fixed Amount Off: This allows you to give a specific discount, such as $20 or $5 off an order, making it straightforward for customers to understand the savings.

2. Setting Limits and Requirements

You have complete control over how your discount codes are used:

  • Maximum Uses Globally: Set a limit on how many times a code can be used across all users, helping you manage your promotional expenses effectively.

  • Maximum Uses Per User: Ensure fairness by restricting how often individual users can apply a code. For example, “Jimmy can use this code three times.”

  • Maximum Discount Value: Cap discounts to protect your margins. For example, a 50% off code could be valid up to $200, ensuring no customer receives more than $200 off.

3. Minimum Purchase and Tips

Encourage larger purchases with minimum purchase requirements:

  • Minimum Subtotal Required: For example, offer $5 off orders over $100, which not only increases your average order value but also incentivizes customers to buy more.

  • Minimum Tip Option: Though not commonly used, this feature can ensure your couriers receive tips, especially when offering free delivery.

4. Expiry and Exclusivity

Create urgency and exclusivity with your discount codes:

  • Expiry Date: Set a clear expiration date for codes, such as “20% off until January 1, 2024,” motivating customers to act quickly.

  • Exclusivity: Limit codes to specific regions to target promotions effectively, ensuring that your marketing efforts align with your operational capabilities.

5. Affiliate Management

Harness the power of affiliate marketing:

  • Affiliate Email: Enter an affiliate‘s email to track commissions based on code usage. You can choose to compensate them with a percentage of sales or a flat fee per usage, which will be reflected in your revenue by order report.

6. Specific User Codes

For customer support, consider offering custom codes:

  • Custom Codes for Support: Provide unique promotion codes to individual customers for specific support issues. While promotion codes can be used for this purpose, store credit may offer a more professional touch.
