Promotional codes are a cornerstone of marketing in 2019, and this is seen with every major retailer in the world. Some retailers offer free shipping, or following in the footsteps of Papa John’s Pizza, some promotional codes are provided daily or when a sports team reaches a certain milestone.

Yet, promotional codes can be used in a variety of situations:
Products and services should provide enough of a profit margin that it’s possible to offer discounts or promotions to consumers. Over time, it’s possible to increase prices to reflect these discounts and “pad” your bottom line.
But when consumers are not yet sold on your product or service, promo codes can help fill the void and convert many of these potential buyers into sales.
