So, are you ready to unleash the power of discounts and turn your forms into lean, mean, conversion machines? Let’s dive in and see how Formidable Perks – Discounts Addon can transform your forms from blah to BAM!

Setting Up Discounts: It’s Easier Than You Think!

Ready to offer discounts? Let’s dive in! First, open the form you want to add a discount to. In the form builder, find the Discounts settings. It’s usually located in the form settings or under a dedicated tab.

Click the 'Add New' button to create your first discount. Give your discount code a name. Something catchy, but also easy for your users to remember (or copy and paste!). Now, choose the discount type, either percentage or a fixed amount. Don't worry; we'll explore the pros and cons of each in the next chapter.

Enter the discount value. Is it 10%, $20, or something else entirely? Set the usage limits, like how many times the code can be used in total. You can also set an expiration date. After all, even the best deals can't last forever!

Finally, you need to add a field to your form where users can enter their discount code. Drag and drop a 'Single Line Text' field onto your form. Label it clearly, like 'Discount Code' or 'Promo Code'. Make sure the field is visible! (Otherwise, it's just a very quiet discount). The discount will be applied when the form is submitted with a valid code. And that's it! You've successfully set up a discount. High five!

Discount Types: Percentage vs. Fixed

Choosing the right discount can impact sales. Percentage discounts (e.g., 10% off) work well for larger purchases, making customers feel they save more. Fixed amount discounts (e.g., $20 off) are effective for smaller purchases or specific products. Offer 20% off orders over $100 or $10 off a product. Consider your goals and target audience to choose the best discount.

Usage Limits and Expiration Dates: Because Discounts Can’t Last Forever!

Discount codes are powerful, but they shouldn’t bleed you dry! Setting usage limits and expiration dates protects your bottom line.

Usage Limits: Imagine a wildly popular discount code shared across the internet. Without a usage limit, it could be redeemed thousands of times, costing you significant revenue. Setting a maximum usage prevents overuse. Within the form builder, you can easily specify the maximum number of times a discount code can be applied. Once this limit is reached, the code becomes invalid. This simple step safeguards your profits.

Expiration Dates: Time-sensitive offers create urgency. People are more likely to act if they know a discount will expire soon. Set a start and end date for your discount code. This ensures the discount is only valid during your intended promotional period. In the settings, you’ll find fields to define both a start and end date. A clear expiration date can significantly boost conversions.

For example, use a limited-time discount to promote a new product launch or to clear out old inventory. Combine an expiration date with a usage limit for even greater control and a true ‘while supplies last’ feel.

Conditional Logic: Discounts with a Brain!

Tired of generic discounts? Conditional logic brings targeted power! Apply discounts only when specific criteria are met. This maximizes effectiveness and personalizes the user experience.

For example, offer a discount only if someone selects a particular product. Or, reward loyalty by discounting only for verified members. The possibilities are endless!

Setting up these conditions is simple. Within the form builder, access the discount settings. Then, define rules based on form field selections. Link the discount to the relevant field. For instance, choose a ‘Product’ field. Specify that the discount applies only if ‘Product A’ is selected.

Consider offering a discount if the subtotal exceeds a certain amount. Or, create a special deal for those who choose a specific payment method. Conditional logic turns your discounts into smart incentives. This focused approach can boost conversion rates. Targeted offers resonate more strongly with users. Say goodbye to wasteful, blanket discounts. Embrace the precision of conditional logic!

Tracking and Reporting: Keeping an Eye on Your Discount Domination!

Knowing how your discounts perform is crucial. This feature lets you become a discount data detective! The Discounts Addon provides reporting tools. These tools help you monitor the usage and effectiveness of your discount codes. You can quickly see how many times each code has been redeemed. This data is vital for optimizing your discount strategy.

Examine which discounts drive the most conversions. Identify underperforming codes and adjust them. Perhaps a code tied to a specific product isn’t performing well. Consider altering the percentage or the product it applies to. Analyze trends over time. Are discounts used more during specific periods? Tailor your offers to align with these peak times. By understanding usage patterns, you can refine your discounts. Improved conversion rates and strategic promotions will be the result. Don’t just create discounts; understand them!
