Beyond simple discounts, this episode explores strategic special offers including free gifts with purchase, bundling approaches, and limited-time promotions. Chloe reveals how free gifts protect margin better than percentage discounts because businesses control exact costs, explaining the criteria for effective gifts: low cost (£1-2), universal appeal for easy regifting, fitting existing packaging, and lightweight to avoid shipping cost increases. Listeners discover how to structure Black Friday offers that create perceived value without sacrificing profitability, including post-purchase incentives to drive repeat purchases before Christmas.
The episode addresses Christmas promotions and special offers through multiple lenses: Neil Roberts discusses bringing Black Friday forward to flatten demand curves and reduce shipping chaos, whilst Kath Pay explores testing urgency-driven offers against benefit-focused messaging to understand what motivates purchase decisions. Tim Hughes provides the contrarian perspective that sometimes the best 'offer' is stopping the sell entirely and focusing on authentic connection, which paradoxically drives longer-term commercial success.
