promotional discounts

Sales event savings

Promotional discounts are temporary price reductions offered to stimulate sales or attract customers.

Retailers use them during holidays, clearance events, or product launches: The store offered promotional discounts of up to 40% off.

Unlike permanent markdowns, promotional discounts create urgency—the deal expires, encouraging immediate purchase.
