Once you have created your course or any other product, the next step is to market it. In the Graphy platform itself, there are several in-built marketing features. This article takes into account "Promo Codes" and explains how to create one in detail.
Promo Codes are the uniquely generated discount codes using which students can buy your products at a discounted rate.
Steps to use Promo Codes feature
Visit your Dashboard > Marketing > Promo Codes.
Generating New Promo Codes
Click on the "New" button to add new Promo Codes.
Now, fill in the details as explained below.
Suggest on Checkout Page: Check this box if you want to suggest this code to the learners on the checkout page who are making a purchase of the respective product.
Code: Specify the promo code here.
Example: A combination of words & numbers like "ENG156".
Course/Package: You can choose the type of product for which you want to create the coupon. After selecting the type of product, you can choose the specific products (like a course) on which you want to apply the promo code.
Example: If you specify your promo code "ENG156" to be used for the "Physics" course, then someone purchasing a "Maths" course wouldn't be able to redeem it.
Discount Percent: Specify the discount percent applied while using this promo code. The maximum discount percent that can be applied is 90%.
Example: If the product price is Rs. 1000 & you want to sell it for Rs. 800, then you have to give a discount of 200. Here 200 is 20% of the original product price. Hence, the maximum discount percent would be 20.
Maximum Discount Value: Specify the maximum discount value that a user can avail of while applying this promo code.
Example: If the product price is Rs. 1000 & you want to sell it for a minimum of Rs. 800, then you have to give a discount of a maximum of 200. Hence 200 becomes your maximum discount value.
Minimum Product Value: Specify the minimum purchase value under which the user can avail of this.
Example: If you put in Rs. 5,000 as the maximum cart value, then someone with a total purchase of Rs.5100 won't be able to avail of the discount.
Valid Till: Specify the date on which the validity period ends.
Example: If you want this Promo Code to expire on 02/01/2020, then enter this very date. If someone is using the code on 03/01/2020 then he won't be able to avail of the discount.
Max Use Count: Number of times this promo code can be used.
Example: If you want only the first 10 users to avail of the discount then set the number to 10.
