This week, I’m excited to dive into a feature in SyteLine that can significantly boost your promotional efforts—Price Promotions. Now, if you’ve been using SyteLine for a while, you’ve probably come across the form that handles both Price Promotion and Rebates. Today, though, we’re zeroing in on the price promotion side of things, and trust me, there’s a lot you can do with it.
Why Price Promotions Matter
The price promotions form in SyteLine isn’t just about slapping a discount on a product; it’s about how to strategically manage your pricing to drive sales, clear out inventory, or reward loyal customers. Whether you’re planning a "Buy One Get One Free" (BOGO) deal, offering a special discount to a select group of customers, or even organizing a site-wide sale, this form gives you the tools to do it all. You can define promotions by timeframe, customer type, salesperson—whatever suits your business model.
Customizing Your Promotions for Maximum Impact
One of the most valuable aspects of this feature is its flexibility. You’ve got plenty of fields to customize your promotions, helping you tailor them to the right audience. From creating trackable promotion codes to setting specific timeframes and tying promotions to CRM campaigns, you can ensure your promotions are as effective as possible. For example, narrow down by salesperson, customer type, or corporate accounts to create highly targeted campaigns that align perfectly with your sales strategy.
Designing the Perfect Offer
Once you’ve defined your audience, SyteLine lets you set up a variety of promotions. Whether it’s BOGO deals, percentage discounts, or setting a fixed price for certain items, this flexibility lets you align your promotional offers with your sales goals. If you’re using the price matrix in SyteLine, the system automatically applies discounts based on the customer’s pricing tier, making it even easier to implement your strategy.
Handling Price Adjustments with Clarity
Keep in mind that applying a promotion may adjust the unit price directly on the customer order. For instance, in a BOGO deal, the system might show two items at $50 each instead of one at $100 and the second one free. To make the discount more transparent to customers, a simple workaround is creating two order lines—one at full price and the other at a 100% discount, clearly showing the promotional benefit.
