Promotions

Insight, then Promotions. A promotion is an automatic offer: it applies when its conditions are met, without anyone typing a code.

How they apply

The engine evaluates promotions when a quote is saved and shows what was applied, alongside the pricing rules trail. Your sales person sees the offer land rather than having to remember it exists.

Stackable, carefully

Stackable off is the safe default. Two stackable promotions on the same job compound, and a buy-100-get-10-free stacked on a loyalty percentage can quietly cost more than you intended.

Before you tick stackable, work out what the worst case actually costs on your biggest job.

Keeping them honest

  • Give every promotion an end date. A permanent promotion is just a lower price, and it belongs in your pricing rules where you can see it.
  • Watch the redemptions column. A promotion nobody triggers is not tempting anyone; one triggering on every order is your new list price.
  • Check margin after a promotion fires on a real job, not in theory.
