Additional tips

If you can’t afford to discount your products, explore alternative deals such as free shipping, extra loyalty points, or small freebies added to every order.

Be careful about discounting popular products — you want to ensure you have enough inventory on hand to last the duration of the sale.

Keep your discounting strategy as simple as possible. Nobody likes having to calculate prices in their head!
