Vouchers and Coupons

Discount coupons may take the form of vouchers for payment or vouchers for price discount at the next purchase. They may be sent by mail, affixed to other products or printed on advertising handouts. Their effects are similar to those of free samples but are much lower in cost.

A gift voucher, coupon, and reward point system will be implemented and integrated throughout the codebase. Gift Vouchers are used as part of the payment method.

Coupons are used as part of a discount implementation to bring the price of an order down.

Sales Promotion (Loyalty Cards)



Another main method of sale promotion which using in many retailer across the UK, that is Loyalty Cards.


Loyalty cards have recently become an important form of sales promotion. They encourage the customer to return to the retailer by giving them discounts based on the spending from a previous visit.

Loyalty cards can offset the discounts they offer by making more sales and persuading the customer to come back. They also provide information about the shopping habits of customers – where do they shop, when and what do they buy? This is very valuable marketing research and can be used in the planning process for new and existing products.
Some more example is down below:

Ad of the Day (Pepsi Max)



I've seen this ad once before, then i try to search in 'yourtube'. what the thing that I like in this ad is the creative of the effect(behind the scene). Did you see, how they made it.

This ad had launch few years ago by 'PEPSI' (Pepsi Max). Its based on a popular japanese tv show where people use their bodies and props to do cool and interesting things. They frequently us people in black suits who are "invisable" to do many of the manuvers. Many of the things in the commercial are stolen from a particular skit in which a karate master shows off his talents to his students.

Some one also said that this ad have copied the idea from japanese show name 'Ping-Pong' (Matrix Style)

So, I got it here and Let See!! What do you think !!!
