Discount pricing

Discount pricing is a promotional pricing tactic that helps to generate more sales for a limited time period by reducing the original price of goods.


Discount pricing is a marketing ploy, where products or services are offered at a reduced price to attract customers and increase sales. Usually products or services are discounted for a limited time frame on a website and the original price is shown next to the discounted price to highlight the price difference.

A discount pricing campaign is also accompanied by an email campaign that a website sends out to its mailing list informing them of the discounted prices to get them to visit the website.
