Promotion is a broad term, and covers the entire range of promotion, publicity, public relations, personal selling and sales promotions. Sales promotion is thus a part of promotion, and is restricted, to straight incentives on a short-term basis given to consumers or trade so as to encourage the purchase of products and services. Luich and Ziegler define sales promotion as ‘a direct incentive which offers an extra value and incentive for the product and sales force, distribution, or the ultimate consumers’. (sales Promotion and Modern Merchandising, N.Y.McGraw Hill 1968,p.4). Sales promotion, in other words, is a marketing activity that adds to the basic value of the product or service for a limited period of time and directly stimulates purchasing by the target audience. The direct incentives cover a whole package of coupons, price-offs, premiums, longer quantity, trading stamps, free gifts, display, shows, explanations and protest. Sales promotion serves to fill the gap between advertising and personal selling by co-ordination and supplementation of the efforts in these two areas. Though publicity explains the logic behind buying, sales promotion offers us an incentive to do so. Sales promotion operates at three levels. (1) At the levels of consumer, it is called consumer promotion free gifts, samples, price-offs. (2) At the level of dealers and distribution, it is called trade promotion, e.g., free goods, display contests, dealer sales contests, push money etc. (3) At the level of sales persons, it is called sales force promotion, e.g., salesmen’s contests, bonus, sales rallies. Individual selling and marketing often work closely with one more promotion tool, sales promotion. Sales promotion consists of short-term incentives to encourage purchase or sales of a product or service. While promoting offers reasons to buy a product or service, sales promotion offers reason to buy now. Examples of sales promotion are found everywhere. A self-supporting insert in the Sunday newspaper contains a coupon present $1 off Folgers coffee. An e-mail from EddieBauer.com offers free shipping on your next purchase over $100. The end-of-the-aisle demonstrate in the local supermarket tempts desire buyers with a NEW HORIZON COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Page 1 SALES PROMOTION STRATEGIES AT “HERO MOTOCORP” LTD wall of Coke cases. An administrative buys a new Sony laptop and gets a free carrying case, or a family buys anew traveler and receives a factory rebate of $1,000. Sales Promotion has been recognized as a lubricant to sales efforts. It comprises broad ranges of practical promotional tools of short term incentive nature designed to stimulate earlier or strong prospective buyer’s responses.
