Informational, sales, and incentive promotions each play a vital role in the marketing landscape, catering to different objectives and consumer needs. Informational promotions focus on educating potential customers about a product or service, helping them make informed decisions and building trust in the brand. Sales promotions, such as discounts, limited-time offers, and rebates, create a sense of urgency, encouraging consumers to make a purchase while the deal lasts. These promotions can boost short-term sales and clear excess inventory. Incentive promotions, such as loyalty programs and referral bonuses, foster customer loyalty and advocacy by rewarding repeat purchases and brand evangelism.
