Problems and misconceptions when running promotions 🤔

Many online store owners encounter difficulties setting up promotions and discounts in OpenCart. They don’t know what parameters to set, how to properly design a promotion page, and how to convey information to potential customers. Some people mistakenly believe that it is enough to simply create a coupon and place it on the site. However, for the campaign to be successful, an integrated approach is required.

Common misconceptions:

• 😕 Promotions and discounts reduce store profits
• 🙅♂️ One is enough set up a promotion once and never return to it
• 🤷♀️ Buyers themselves will find information about promotions on the website
• 💰 The larger the discount, the more successful the promotion

In fact, well-planned promotions help attract new customers, increase the average check and increase repeat sales. The main thing is to find a balance between the attractiveness of the offer for customers and the benefit for the store.

Step-by-step instructions for setting up promotions and discounts in OpenCart 📝

1. Promotion planning 🎯

   Before you start technical setup, you need to think through the concept of the promotion:

   • Determine the goals of the promotion (attracting new customers, increasing the average check, selling off balances, etc.)
   • Select products or categories participating in the promotion
   • Consider the terms of the discount (fixed amount, percentage, free shipping, etc.)
   • Set the timing promotions
   • Prepare promotional materials (banners, letters, social media posts)

2. Creating a coupon in OpenCart 🎟️

   To set up a coupon discount in OpenCart, go to the "Marketing" - "Coupons" section and click the "Add" button:

   • Enter coupon code (for example, SALE20)
   • Select coupon type (percentage, fixed amount)
   • Specify discount amount
   • Set coupon start and end dates
   • If necessary, add restrictions (minimum order amount, applicability to certain products or categories)

3. Setting up promotional prices 💰

   To set discounts on individual products or categories without using coupons, go to the "Catalog" - "Products" (or "Categories") section:

   • Open the product or category card
   • In the "Price" field, enter the regular price of the product
   • In the "Promotional price" field, enter the discounted price
   • Set the start and end dates of the promotional price

4. Promotion page design 🎨

   Create an attractive promotion page that will inform visitors about a great offer and encourage them to buy:

   • Come up with a bright headline and call to action
   • Add quality images of promotional products
   • Describe the conditions for receiving the discount and the timing of the promotion
   • Place a button or link to the page with the products participating in the promotion

5. Promotion of the promotion 📣

   It is important not only to set up the promotion on the site, but and convey information about it to potential clients:

   • Place banners and links to the promotion page on the main page of the site and in the catalog
   • Send an email -a newsletter to subscribers with a promotion announcement and a promotional code
   • Launch advertising on Google Ads, Facebook and Instagram targeted at your target audience
   • Publish posts on social networks and forums, relevant to your niche
   • Use offline advertising (flyers, in-store banners, etc.)

An example of a successful promotion: the online sporting goods store SportChamp held a sale in the off-season and offered discounts of up to 50% on the winter collection. As a result, we managed to increase sales by 35% and free up the warehouse for the new collection.

By following these simple steps, you can effectively set up and run a promotion in your online store on OpenCart. Don’t forget to analyze the results and make adjustments to future campaigns. 📈
