What are promo codes?

We come across such a concept as promotional codes in our daily life quite often, however, many, not very experienced buyers, simply do not know what to do with them and how to use them correctly. What is it and what are promotional codes in general?

A promo code is a specific set of letters or numbers. Moreover, these letters may not carry any semantic load. The promotional code may look like this: "32W158t", "surpriz" or "123654". It can be absolutely any combination. Yes, the buyer actually does not care what is written in the promotional code, the most important thing is that it allows its owner to make profitable purchases in a particular store with discounts. Lightinthebox promo codes and coupons make it possible to profitably purchase the necessary goods and services for yourself, friends and family and save the family budget.

Most often, companies that carry out their sales through online stores resort to the use of promotional codes. Although it should be noted that real outlets are increasingly resorting to a similar method of promoting trade. To use the received promotional code, you need to select the product you like and enter the promotional code in the appropriate box.

Promo codes are different, they are divided into several types:

• by type of bonus – the most common is a discount code, there are also promotional codes to reduce shipping costs and promotional codes to receive a gift;
• by the time of their action – permanent promotional codes are rare, most often they are valid during a promotion or when advertising new products;
• by the method of purchasing goods – there are promotional codes that are used only for a certain method of purchase, for example, in an online store. When ordering by phone, they will not work;
• by the presence of certain conditions – valid only if there is a certain product in the basket or when buying a certain amount, or only apply to the first purchase.

The main purpose of issuing promotional codes is to attract new customers and increase the loyalty of existing ones. They allow you to get customers to make more purchases, thereby increasing sales.

You can get promotional codes for free when buying in online stores or on special sites. In addition, you can find them in printed publications or receive such a code as a gift for winning a quiz or a bonus for subscribing to an online newsletter.

Every experienced buyer of goods and services in online stores knows that before purchasing any item, you need to check the availability of promotions and promotional codes for these products in order to reduce your costs.
