Well if they were thinking about buying/trying your product a special offer (coupon/rebate/sample) gives them more of an incentive to reach into their wallets and buy/try it.
Like sampling. If I try a shampoo or something and I actually like how it works...I am more apt to buy that particular brand because of my experience with the sample. |

when a customer thinks they are getting value for money, they will buy ..
the fact they didnt need or want the large quantities of the BOGOF offers, is debatable on ethical grounds .. but there you go ... |

It works because they think they are getting a bargain even though the product is way overpriced in the first place and they probably don't even need the product |

It tends to work by giving a customer the reason to BUY NOW rather than just think about it for a while.
Usually a special offer has an end date which means that someone would feel like they are getting a good/better deal if they buy before that end date. |

I usually head for these,but not to buy.For example,special price toothpaste £1.99p for 100 grammes.This is the large box appearing to give you more,because if you check,sometimes the same product in 50 gramme package is only 69 pence,so if you bought two smaller ones equal to 100 grammes,it only costs £1.38p,and this happens quite a lot,I save buying smaller. |

here in Belgium, prices begin at 150% the price compared to the surrounding countries. So when there is a sale, you end up with maybe 115% the price compared to the surrounding countries. The lame "special offers" here make me laugh. The coupons go something like "buy 20, and get 1 half price".
I hate the BS. Just give me a good price without flim flam and I'm happy...or I simply don't buy. |

Because... it's special.
Special is defined as Surpassing what is common or usual; exceptional
Any more questions? |

Special offers give customers an incentive to buy....it offers them something other than is standard for same or less money, example.....you sell cars....and all dealers offer 5% interst rate and standard warranty....you offer 0% interest rate and upgrade with extended warranty....they get more from you than others therefore making it a etter value to buy from you. |
