Promotion
is an activity conducted by a firm in order to introduce, market and increase
the sales of products. In Malaysia, usually sales promotion will be held at the
first and fourth week because most of Malaysian workers receive their salaries.
Therefore, sales promotion is very important and indeed will attract customers
to shop. As users, we should be wise to evaluate every promotion conducted and
avoid deception.
First
tip, list down the things which are needed before buying. It is vital to
organize our financial planning and shop carefully according to what are really
needed. List of things necessary for us to prevent wastage and buy unnecessary
goods. The attitude of carefulness is able to control our improvidence.
Second
tip, look into every advertisement and avoid yourselves of confused
information. Sometimes, advertisements are made based on certain attractions to
certain products. For example, most advertisements exploit women to become
models. Generally, female models will be taken to promote beauty products or
cosmetics while not everyone suitable to use those products. So, we should be
careful and investigate any promotions before making purchases.
Third
tip, avoid credit card utilization because it makes us extravagant and tend to shop more than needed. By using
credit card, we do not realize the cash flow as we do not see the money
obviously. Consequently, we will only realize the amount of money that we pay
at the end of every month. You are advised to bring along an adequate amount of
money while shopping. This move will prevent yourselves from buying unnecessary
goods with lower prices.
Fourth
tip, do not be fooled by the products with promotional gifts. Sometimes sales
promotion will offer you `buy one free one`. You should be careful to the
hidden costs that might be imposed to the products or services provided. Apart
from promotional gifts, price tricks ended with 99 cents such as RM1.99 attract
customers` attention. Examine the price and compare with others before you buy.
Sales promotion often attracts consumers to buy and you as a consumer will be
attracted to the products with lower prices, promotional gifts and buy with a
large quantity.
Fifth
tip, check the receipt of purchase and the quantity of items after payment. It
is important to check the receipt as to avoid deception like different prices .
Usually, customers will buy in bulk and crowded environment makes them
uncomfortable and quickly leave the shopping complex. Do not rush and make sure
you check the receipt before leaving.
Every
business expects profit. Hence, every business will form various promotional
strategies to attract customers` attention. As a buyer, you should be smart and
do not cheated by any sales promotion. List down what is needed and what is
not. You are advised to do a lot of readings of how to manage your financial
planning. Avoid yourself from becoming a victim of sales promotion and ignoring
unnecessary things and services. Having unimportant things and services is an
extravagance. Organize your expenses wisely and be a smart spender.
