92 - Ways To Use Coupons and Discounts to Woo Your Customers

Coupons and discounts CAN be very powerful when it comes to getting new customers, generating cashflow and boosting sales... but we are putting a BIG asterisk on today's episode that says - you must use this tactic VERY strategically! It's not the only tool in your toolbox when it comes to getting your market to buy from you. Because what can happen is that you're not getting the sales you want or you are thinking up ideas for a new campaign and it can be REALLY easy to jump to offering 20% off or providing some other discount as your first idea, when you really don't have to… and when doing so could actually HURT your business rather than help it.
