Which is the right one depends on your objectives?<\/p>\n<h1>We\u2019ll take about that in a later section.<\/h1>\n<p>We\u2019ve covered timing as it related to the incentives. There&#8217;re another concepts\u00a0related to time that you should consider. Any promotions, no matter what the incentive should have a specific duration period stated. A promotion is by definition a short-term strategy for increasing sales. You won\u2019t want to keep your offer going forever. If you\u2019re using a price saving incentive, give it an effective date. If you\u2019re giving away a sample, gift, or experience, make sure it\u2019s clear during what time period your audience can respond and be eligible to win. Otherwise, you\u2019ll risk disappointment someone.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s another important reason to limit the time of your incentive. Without a time, you can never\u00a0judge the success of your effort. I will not\u00a0go on at length about testing your results, but I will not\u00a0leave it unsaid. Most successful promotional marketers design ways to test their programs. Then they diligently measure results the first few times they run the promotions. If they find that it brings predictable success, they become less stringent about tracking results. They simple repeats the successful elements of the program.<\/p>\n<p>Tracking comprises quantifying the number of responses to the program and the dollar volume of sales generated from those responses, then comparing those results to earlier projections. If you don\u2019t track performance, you\u2019ll have no way of knowing if your program met your goals. You\u2019re not doing what we humans do so well-learning from our experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A promotional program is made up of: An objective A Strategy A plan for execution We\u2019ve looked at the elements of a promotional strategy-the-components you will need to choose as you develop your specific program.
