Types of Promotions

Broadly speaking there are two major categories of promotions — consumer promotion and trade promotion. Consumer promotions offer consumers short-term incentives drawing them into stores to purchase goods.

Trade promotions on the other hand, help manufacturers secure their trade partners’ support in procuring, distributing, promoting and merchandising their products. Their purpose is to push products down the sales pipeline to the points of purchase.

Trade promotions also help to fuel consumer promotions as trade incentives are often intended to be passed onto shoppers.
