Some businesses come up with some gimmicks to make sales. These things looks real but in the true sense they are just ways to attract customers and nothing more. I have bought things cheaper only to find out the air in the container is more than the contents in it. So invariably I was paying for the air in it Lol. So what's your experience?

One of the worst gimmicks is using children to bait their parents to buy your stuff. I know a trader that will do promo that runs like this;
Buy one carton of spaghetti and receive free three superman toys. If your children hear it, you are in for serious disturbance.

For me, it depends what kinds of products to be marketed. For example, if selling tangible products, you can give some freebies or promos.

I can so relate with this, you know children can do disturb with things like this it will force you to buy.

Food companies frequently use copies that say added nutrition, enriched with vitamins and minerals, healthy food etc. these are nothing but just a marketing gimmicks. Soft drink companies use the lines like refreshing, but the soft drinks are noithing but sugar-loaded water.

You got it children don't want to hear about this and go away without them so yes the parent will be in real trouble it they do not buy this for the children

I consider these gimmicks as not legit strategy for marketing. They mostly associated with false advertisements, misleading packaging details among other illnesses. I don't consider them as good strategy for doing business with.

 

[cherry123]

I agree with you that are what marketing gimmicks are all about false advertisements and misleading packaging details. They are used to deceive people. The more you look the less you see.

This is one thing that a lot of companies do so that you will think the product is a very plenty inside which is a lie and it is part of marketing strategy

Yeah I just bought peanuts yesterday, the ones in the attractive wraps only to be confronted with air. The package was just full of air with just few peanuts in it

They try offering you at a certain price and promise to give you free items. At the end of the day you realize that you actually paid for the freebies too.

Gimmicks are used by businesses to draw attention and generate sales. There are good and bad gimmicks. Some of the good ones I encountered include flash sales, distributing coupons and bundling products.

This is very true, one of my friends who is into internet marketing told me about this strategy they use to attract people. At the end of the day you will realise that you are actually paying for the both of them.

 

[cherry123]

I have noticed this too where you get paid a certain price for a product and you are promise a free items only to find out you paid for the free gift

That is a very strong marketing strategy. A lot of businesses use it to attract a lot of people. Anyone who is a good business person must understand this.

 

[cherry123]

Yeah , that is one gimmick thst is always used . I know a lot of businesses use it to attract a lot of customers, clients and people to buy more from them.

Pricing technique offering items at 99 instead of 100. offering package of buy one take one. Cash back policies and loyalty programs are also popular.

Yes, I totally agree with you, that's a marketing trick for snack manufacturers, using non-transparent packaging so you can't see how much is in it. I am often disappointed because the expectations are too high. lol. Besides that, if in the sales world someone often creates content that displays unsold products or sells sadness to attract human sympathy, this trick is mushrooming in our country.

Packaging plays a vital importance to. make the product attractive. One must consider using reusable packaging, customer might want the container not the content lol.
