    Study Notes

    Discounts

    Discounts are reductions in price offered by retailers as incentives for consumers to purchase their products. These reductions can take various forms, such as percentages off the original price, fixed amounts per item, volume discounts, bulk purchases, and more. Here are some types of discounts you might encounter when shopping:

    Percentage Off

    Retailers may offer percentage discounts on specific items or across entire categories within their store. For instance, a store might advertise a 50% discount on all dresses, meaning the final price is half the original value.

    Fixed Amount

    Another common type of discount involves a fixed amount taken off the original price. This could be $5 off a pair of jeans, or $20 off when spending over $100, for example.

    Volume Discounts

    Volume discounts are given when customers buy multiple units of a product. This encourages bulk purchasing and helps businesses reduce inventory costs.

    Seasonal Sales

    Many stores have seasonal sales where they offer deep discounts to get rid of old stock. Black Friday and Christmas are often associated with huge discounts on electronics, furniture, clothing, and other popular items.

    Coupons

    Coupons come in different variations ranging from manufacturer coupons redeemable only for specific brands to store coupons which can be used towards any products in the store.

    Loyalty Programs

    Some companies reward loyal customers with points earned through purchases. These points can be accumulated over time and later used as discounts on future buys.

    Understanding these discount types can help you make smarter shopping decisions and save money while still getting quality products. Be sure to keep an eye out for discount opportunities and always take advantage of them whenever possible!
