Personalized discounts

Pelican offers special discounts by an extension add-on that learns your digital behavior and generates personalized discounts for you. These discounts are personally catered for you as a consumer based on your liking. 

Email subscriptions

Once you visit a website, a pop-up offers a subscription to their newsletter for special discounts after your first purchase. This discount tends to be significant in their amount, which has a high chance of subscription. In turn, the subscription keeps pushing offers to their customers via email.

Gamification discounts

By creating an impression of a game or leveling up, you can push consumers to buy more products. For example, you can put a bar on the cart which shows a certain amount spent to be reached to be eligible for free shipping or a discount. These special discounts push consumers to buy more to benefit from that discount. 

Product bundles

By bundling similar products at a discounted price, consumers will likely buy the bundle rather than the single product.

Influencers and promo codes

This method has two advantages. First, it promotes a business or a product and makes it familiar to the public, so the more a product is at the back of a consumer’s mind, the higher the chance people will buy it at least once. The second is when influencers offer promo codes and promote products by that.

Milestone deals

For example, each year, a specific business offers a specific discount for all or specific customers, encouraging customers to buy more.

Referral discounts

These special discounts are usually offered once you share a specific platform with someone, and you both get a special discount for your next purchase. This is used to spread the platform. 

Summary

All these special discounts are digital and create a consumer base with customers with a high lifetime value. In addition, customers are also benefiting from discounts and cheaper products that matter to them.
