PROMOTION - Buy X Number Of Items, Get 1 Or More Free

Windward Software

Explanation

There may be times that you want to be able to offer your customers a break on quantity purchases, so that instead of giving them a discount on a per item basis, you only want to give them a deal on an item if they purcase a given number of specific item. Tire shops often do this, where instead of giving the customer 1/3 off the price of the each tire, they say if you buy 3 tires we will give you 1 free.

You could even set up a promotion with multiples free, so that if a customer bought say six of an item you would give them 2 free products.

Setting Up The Promotion

For this promotion to work you will need to set up one promotion for each item you want to sell this way. You can not apply this promotion to multiple items.

1) in the promotion set the promotion drop down to Buy Quantity (X)

2) set the quantity that the customer must purchase in the field next to Number of items (A).

3) Set the reward drop down to Free Product

4) set the item number and quantity of free items in the grid under the reward section. This would normally be the same as the item they are purchasing, however it could be a different product as well (such as buying two tubes of toothpaste and receive a free toothbrush). But you do have to specify an item number or a choice of items so that the clerk can choose it from a popup list.

5) in the inventory items tab, set the item that this promotion applies to.

6 set the start and end date.
