Answer to Question 1

Price-off promotions (also called cents-off or price packs) entail a reduction in a brand's regular price. A price-off is clearly labeled as such on the package. Marketers' objectives for using this form of promotion can include: (1) rewarding present brand users, (2) getting consumers to purchase larger quantities than they normally would, (3) establishing a repeat purchase pattern after initial trial, (4) ensuring that promotional dollars do, in fact, reach consumers, (5) obtaining off-shelf display space when such allowances are offered to retailers, and (6) providing the sales force with an incentive to obtain retailer support. Price-offs primarily represent a form of immediate reward for consumers. There are several FTC regulations regarding this type of promotion.

Bonus packs are extra quantities of a product that a company gives to consumers at the regular price. This form of promotion provides consumers with an immediate reward and, for manufacturers, primarily serves a repeat purchase objective. Bonus packs are sometimes used as an alternative to price-off deals when the latter are either overused or resisted by the trade.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
