Selling higher store credit/gift card/gift certificate/voucher at a lower price is nothing but offering it at a discount to your customers. Example – $500 gift card for $400. Your customers love discounts and you know it!
And if you are thinking of doing the same on your WooCommerce store, this article will guide you.
Why offer discounts on store credit?
Because, discounts:
- Create that ‘urgency’
- Save money
- Make the product affordable
There are instances when:
- Your customers want to buy a product but are holding back due to the high price
- Your customers want to make the purchase but waiting for some exciting offers to save some money
- Your customers want to buy something but avoid it due to no urgency
So, when you announce a gift card or store credit at a discount, these customers leave no stone unturned to finally make the purchase.
They not only bring more sales but also the much-needed reach out of your brand to more people through WOM.
If you’re determined to make the best use of this strategy, WooCommerce Smart Coupons is everything that you need.
