Our company currently offers buy 3 lines and get 1 free, in which case we insert the 4 lines and then offer 100% discount on the 4th line.  When we buy 3 lines there are a few different items that can qualify for the 4th item (that is free).  How do other folks handle promotions of this sort?

Hi Jason,
Is it the actual number of sales lines that you’re basing the discount on or the quantity? In my experience, most companies are doing their discounts by quantity or value ordered, as the number of lines is purely based on the number of products they ordered and isn’t necessarily aligned with the total ordered quantity and value.

The only thing I can think of that is similar is supplementary items but that’s tied to a single item so would be per line. For example, if I buy 3 of item A, I get the 4th one free.

I’m not sure if there’s anything that can be done with Attribute-based pricing data or not. Maybe someone else has an idea.

Hope this helps!

Thanks

Good question, I should have been more clear in my example.  The 3 items can be any item of a group, we have about 50 items, so as long as they buy 3 of the 50 OR qty 3 of one of the 50 items then they can get the 4th item (which is also contained within the 50) for free as long as it is equal to or less value of the most expensive of the 3.  Does that make sense?

Hi Jason, 

Do you have Retail enabled?  If so, Mix and Match discounts are what you want to read up on. 

If you don’t have retail enabled, you’ll find standard discounts to be lacking.  Attribute based pricing isn’t going to help from what I’ve seen with it.

Set up a mix-and-match discount [AX 2012] This topic describes how to set up mix-and-match discounts. A mix-and-match discount gives customers a discount when they purchase a specific combination of products. For example, a customer purchases two boxes of tea and receives 50 percent off the price of a tea cup. Products and variants can be included in mix-and-match discounts. View this on Microsoft >
