Sellers are always looking for new ways to encourage people to buy their products. One of them is to use discount codes—but how to do it wisely? That's what you'll learn in today's article!
What are discount codes?
By general definition, discount codes are strings of letters, numbers and/or characters that entitle you to purchase products under special conditions. But they don't have to apply only to products. You can also create a discount code for free delivery or even for a consultation with you (if, in addition to products, you offer, for example, help in choosing the right cut of a dress).
How does a discount code affect customer decisions?
Simply put: discounts and coupons encourage people to spend money. It works on both new potential clients and regulars in your Facebook store. A person who receives a discount on a product, even a small one, will be more likely to make a purchase—even if he or she was unsure of the decision before receiving the discount.
