a. Sales promotions are marketing activities that are designed to stimulate consumer and
marketing channel demand for a product or service.
b. Consumer promotions and trade promotions
3. Describe a push strategy and a pull strategy in international marketing.
a. A pull strategy focuses on stimulating product demand at the consumer level. When a
consumer expresses interest in a product at the retail store, retailers are encouraged to
carry the item. The product will be ordered from wholesalers who purchase the product
from the manufacturer. Consequently, demand for the product is “pulled” through the
marketing channel by consumer from the intermediary and then the manufacturer.
b. A push strategy occurs when a marketer promotes a product to intermediaries. In
general, these efforts are aimed at wholesalers first, who then promote the product to
retailers. Retailers promote the product to consumers. Here, the product demand is
“pushed” downward through the marketing channel.

prizes. A premium represents an additional incentive for a consumer to buy a product.
b. A bonus pack offers additional merchandise in a package for the same price, such as a
buy-three, get one free package of bar soap. A bonus pack may also take the form of a
bottle that is larger than the product's standard size and is marked "25% more, free."
By purchasing the pack, consumers receive additional merchandise at the standard
price. Bonus packs are often used when the goal is to entice consumers to stock up on
a given item. This decreases the chance that the consumer will switch to a competitor
and can be a proactive way to protect a product’s market share.
