sales promotion

Discount campaign effort

Sales promotion refers to short-term marketing activities designed to stimulate immediate buying or interest in a product or service.

These include coupons, discounts, free samples, contests, and point-of-sale displays.

Unlike advertising, which builds brand awareness over time, sales promotions aim for quick results: The store ran a sales promotion offering buy-one-get-one deals.

The term covers both consumer-facing tactics and trade promotions aimed at retailers or distributors.
