Sales promotions are used by the smallest mom-and-pop storefront to the most sophisticated consumer product marketer—and everyone in between. Unfortunately, not many sales promotions are done well, and most marketers and managers know that. How to Sell More Stuff tells executives, agencies, internal departments, entrepreneurs, and students alike how to close sales by influencing immediate customer behavior through an array of promotional techniques, including sweepstakes, tie-ins, coupons, events, and more.

• How to choose the right tactic from over 100 options, reviewing descriptions, advantages, and disadvantages
• How to budget the program
• Pitfalls, cautions, and opportunities
• How to put it all together with procedures and checklists
