Description: A recent study in The Journal of Marketing shows that “buy one, get one free†promotions are more enticing to shoppers than, say, a 50-per-cent discount on a single item, even if that shopper doesn’t need two of what’s being promoted in the first place. In other words, bonuses are more attractive to shoppers than sales, even if they don’t equal a better deal.
