## What are promotions?

Promotions refer to businesses' various marketing strategies to attract and retain customers, increase sales, and build brand loyalty. Some of the most common types of e-commerce promotions include:

* Discount Codes
  * Discount codes are codes you can create for your customers to use during checkout to get a discount on their purchases.
* Free Shipping
  * Free shipping promotions encourage customers to buy more by offering them free shipping on their orders. This can be a great way to increase sales, as customers are more likely to purchase additional items when they don't have to pay for shipping.
* Buy One Get One Free (BOGO)
  * BOGO promotions are a popular way to incentivize customers to buy more by offering them a free item when they purchase a specific product.
* Flash Sales
  * Flash sales are short-term promotions that offer customers a limited-time discount on specific products. These sales are designed to create a sense of urgency and encourage customers to buy quickly before the sale ends.
* Loyalty Programs
  * Loyalty programs are designed to reward customers for their repeat business. These programs typically offer customers points or rewards for each purchase, which can be redeemed for discounts, free products, or other incentives.

Promotions help your businesses attract new customers, retain existing ones, and increase sales. Combining different promotion types can create a strong marketing strategy that drives growth and increases revenue.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.chord.co/chord-oms/chord-oms-overview/promotions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
