Did you know that price promotions could sometimes have a negative impact? As unfortunate as it is, there can, in fact, be a downside to price promotions. It’s not that price promotions are bad, but they should be used in conjunction with other strategies in order to be effective.

It could suggest that your products have low quality, or that your business is failing.
