STG Retail Tip Of The Month

STG Retail Tip: Provide A Gift With Purchase

Gift Promotion

In your Microsoft Dynamics RMS, you can assign a promotional or gift item (called a "tag along" item) with every item in the database. Thus, when a shopper buys a particular item, Microsoft RMS will automatically include the gift item in the sale. Even more, you can also specify the quantity of the gift item you want to provide with the purchase.

Before you give a gift for a purchase, you will need to specify an item as gift and place it as a "tag along" item to the item you wish. For example, let us consider that you want to give a skating board to the customer who purchases an item that priced at more than $300.00; you will need to assign the skating board as tag along item to each item whose price is more than $300.00.

Gift Promotion

Being a retailer, you must make both the retail store and the web store a 'happening place' for your shoppers. There should be one or two promotional activities running on your online web store. A group of your customers should always be looking for the next "sales" day or promotion activity. You can name a sale-campaign as "Value Return Week", "Stock Clearance Sales", "Weekender Specials" and so on.

Now, in all cases, you can set the sale prices in your Microsoft RMS in advance. Before you specify the sale prices of your products, you can specify the start and end dates of the campaign or make it a weekly schedule (putting some items on sale during Saturdays and Sundays) in your RMS Microsoft. When a customer buys an item on sale, Microsoft Dynamics RMS will automatically take the sale price. When the campaign ends, Microsoft RMS will convert the sale price to the regular price.

You can set sales-schedule in your store from the store operations manager in Microsoft Dynamics RMS. If you are using RMS shopping cart software, you can take this complete sales-schedule to your online store and release these offers to your online shoppers.
