There are several options. First of all, a brand can offer it to you, it is a very powerful marketing tool often used for stock purposes, low commercial moments or to thank the loyalty of its customers.
Research before you buy
Yes it’s a good reflex, do a little research on the web to see if there isn’t a little code lying around to obtain a reduction before buying. There are some on flowers, tech, travel, type promo code + the name of the brand in the search bar of your browser before making your purchases…
I tested for you…
I wanted to buy a few good bottles of wine for the end-of-year celebrations with the family (with the plan to drink them in moderation), so I typed: wine promo code on my search engine…
Results: the list is long. So I decide to look at the promo code of a well-known site on the subject of “little cheaper” living: radins.com. And I come across a discount on the online wine shop Vinatis.
I’m told 10% off my first purchase…I understand that the goal is to make me become a customer but after all…if I can save money, why not!
There it is quite well done: I click on the link, I am given a code and a new link to go to the store directly. I choose a wine (the Darons produced in Occitania): 41.94 euros for 6 bottles, I enter my promo code and here I am at 37.75 euros, i.e. 10% reduction, bingo… I am at 6.29 euros per bottle, I check even if I find no better and by looking I find the same cuvée at 6 euros without reduction…
A reflection exercise that precedes the act of purchase
What was interesting is that in this specific case it prompted me to compare, to take an interest in the product and its price…a little time but in the end I’m sure I’ve found the best offer… I did the same experience for an organic moisturizer and I ended up with a -30% in store…
Some media, specialized sites also distribute promo codes?
Yes, the specialized sites are radins.com, Dealabs or Groupon for the best known. But I also also discovered that the media are indeed also relays…in any case, plan a little time and take the opportunity to think and find out before buying…
