Typo teaches us a thing or two about discounting

Typo hit Twitter just now promoting a 40% store wide discount at their Chadstone, Melbourne, store today.

This tweet teaches us several things:

  1. Be bold. 40% is a good discount. Too often retailers start small and don’t get the traction they need.
  2. Make it each. The Typo store wide approach is easily understood.
  3. Promote on social media. It is free and outside your four walls.
  4. Set boundaries. The Typo discount is off full priced merchandise. This precludes the Typo 3 for offers they have throughout their shops.
