Promotions Engine meets Xmas
24 Nov, 2016
Typically, Christmas and New Year holiday is a peak shopping and entertaining season. Sales increase dramatically as people purchase gifts, decorations, and supplies to celebrate. Starts from mid November, food & beverage and retail businesses already began advertising and promotional campaigns hoping to grasp the golden opportunity to maximize sales and profits
Taking into account of the short period of Xmas time to make the most sales and profits in a year, restaurants, merchants and retailers try the best to set up popular and profitable promotional activities. Some will hold short-term fair while some offer various kinds of discounts at different outlets at different time of the sales period. All these kinds of promotions will certainly impose operation pressure to frontend staff. Frontend POS is therefore mission critical to help restaurants and retailers to manage and control discount offers during peak seasons of the year.
Precisely, it is a powerful promotion engine on the POS that will do the job effectively and accurately. Popular promotion rules that a promotion engine can handle include discounts by :
