Merchandising & Promotions Overview
Use ProStores built-in merchandising and promotions tools to boost average order size, drive repeat business, and attract new customers.

Merchandising Tools

 

Here are two simple merchandising tools that are built into ProStores that can help you drive customer interest and may help boost your average order size.

 

Featured Products: designate up to five featured products and feature them on your Home page – just turn on the Featured Product setting for the products you want to feature and select one of the Featured Products Home page layouts in Design Settings.

 

Related Products: If you have a ProStores Advanced tier store, you can also set up Related Products. For instance, if you sell printers, be sure to display paper, ink, and other supplies with your printers.

 

Promotions

 

ProStores also has a number of built-in promotions that allow you to offer discounts and other incentives to returning customers or attract new ones.

 

For example, you can advertise a special discount with a promotion code in an email to existing customers or in an ad in a local magazine, and those customers who enter the promotion code during checkout on your store will receive a predefined discount off the entire order.

 

Below are the store promotions you can set up – they will vary based on the ProStores store tier you have.

 

Gift Wrap: specialized gift wrap promotion that can be offered in addition to the storewide gift wrap option. In order to use this promotion, you must enable the gift wrap options on the main Promotions page.
