Types of Sales Promotion

 In the Sales Promotion tutorial we saw that promotions can be classified into three main areas:

  • Trade Market-Directed
  • Business-to-Business Market-Directed.
In this tutorial we look more deeply into each of these classifications by examining the different types of promotions that fall into each.
