Multi-buys

Multi-buys are promotional offers in retail where customers receive a discount or special price when purchasing multiple items together. These promotions encourage customers to buy more items at once to take advantage of the deal. Common types of multi-buys include:

• Buy One Get One Free (BOGO): Customers receive a second item for free when they purchase one at full price.
• Buy X Get Y Free: Similar to BOGO, but with different quantities (e.g., buy two, get one free).
• Discounted Price for Multiple Items: A reduced price is applied when purchasing a specified number of items (e.g., 3 for $10).
• Percentage Discount for Multiple Items: A percentage discount is applied when a certain number of items are bought (e.g., 20% off when you buy 4 or more). Check Price-breaks for these promos
• Bundle Deals: Different products are combined into a single package at a lower price than if bought separately.

These promotions aim to increase sales volume, clear out inventory, and provide value to customers by offering savings on bulk purchases.
