Coupons and Discounts
I thought I’d take some time and share some ideas on coupons and discounts. Most of these are ideas that have been shared with us by our current customers over the years.
Reward Programs:
Our SP-1 software has a number of ways to handle reward systems for your store. A couple of the ways are here.
Buy 10 get 1 free
Spend a $1.00 get a point – This is great as it allows you to incorporate other items as well:
- 50 Points gets a free drink or 50% off food
- 100 points gets a free lunch (small size items only)
- 250 lunch for two
