Buy X get Y

Operators do not have the ability to create buy x get y and price override does not exist. If an operator wants to push out a buy X get Y free promo they can send a request to Avanti Support to set up a buy X get Y. Please keep in mind the buy x get y promos are not supported at USC locations. Operator managed percentage and fixed amount discounts are.

Creating Campaign Promotions for Product Groups

Create campaign promotions when you want to discount products, such as when products on your shelves may expire soon. You can discount the price by a percentage or by a specific dollar amount. Creating campaign promotions for discounted products, may first involve creating a product group.

Promotion Examples

Combo meal

Please note there are three product groups included in this 15% Combo meal. Consumers will need to purchase a qualifying product within the fresh food, drinks, and chips product groups in order to receive the discount.

BoGo (Buy One Get One) Example:

The conditions field was changed to QTY of 2 for the Red Bull product group. This promotion will only be triggered when the consumer scans two Red Bulls to receive the 50% discount for the second like item purchased. Please note there is pop up text informing the operator that Red Bull is actively being used in another promotion that could potentially cause a conflict.

Other promotions such as targeted product promos, 30% off 2, breakfast bundles, or afternoon snack bundle can be created with this feature. This is a very flexible feature allowing you to be creative with your go to market strategy.

Reporting

Promotions by location report: This report allows you to track all your operator managed promotions.

This report tracks the number of promotional transactions by location and total dollar amount. This report can be run by individual or All market locations.

Promotion Logic

• The best value is used to determine which promotion to apply to cart/product for each market user based on products in the cart.
• Each product in any one order qualifies for only one promotion. If any one order has multiple promotions associated, then the who wins rule determines the promotion(s) to apply to each product.
• Applied promotion is based on the best value to the market user. Cart-level promotion does NOT automatically win.
• If a free product is redeemed, the other product-level discounts are still applied to qualifying products in the cart. You cannot use a free product redemption to qualify for other promotions (buy a Coke and chips for $2.50).
• Promotion start/end date is now set to the 12:00 AM local time for each kiosk. Recurring schedule overrides the default start/end time.
• Tax is calculated on the selling price of the taxable product.
