Short-Term Promotions

Drive Urgency With Time-Sensitive Offers That Convert

Short-term promotions create urgency and drive immediate action by leveraging time-sensitive offers and countdown timers. These campaigns work by tapping into customers’ fear of missing out (FOMO) to encourage faster purchase decisions. For example: You can promote a featured product on a category page temporarily, display a countdown banner for a 24-hour flash sale, or offer discount codes that expire within hours.

Why Marketers Use Bloomreach for Short-Term Promotion Campaigns

Marketers struggle to create urgency without overwhelming customers or manually managing time-sensitive campaigns. Short-term promotions often fail when discount codes get lost in inboxes or countdown timers aren’t properly coordinated across channels.

Bloomreach Engagement allows you to automate promotional timing, deliver discount codes instantly through web banners, and create persistent reminders that stay visible throughout the customer session — all while targeting the right segments at the optimal moment.

Easy-Access Discount Code Banner

Prebuilt Use Case

Provide customers instant access to discount codes through banners with one-click clipboard copying functionality. Banners can only be minimized, not closed, ensuring discount visibility throughout the entire session. This approach eliminates the friction of searching through emails for codes and increases purchase likelihood by making discount redemption effortless.

See Documentation

“Receiving discounts releases oxytocin, in turn making shoppers happier — and less likely to abandon their carts. By 2017, 97% percent of retailers cited discounting as their top pricing strategy, and within the last years, shoppers’ expectations of receiving a discount has only increased.”

Prominently Display Products for a Given Duration of Time

Merchandise products for marketing campaigns and display them at the top of category pages for specific time periods. Promote featured products with tailored recommendation sections while setting automatic expirations to limit post-campaign management time. Perfect for seasonal launches, new product introductions, or special promotional periods.

How It Works

Set up time-bound promotional campaigns with automatic start and end dates to eliminate manual campaign management.

Configure countdown timers and discount banners that display prominently across your website to create visual urgency.

Enable easy-access discount codes that customers can copy to clipboard, removing friction from the redemption process.

Create persistent banner experiences that minimize but don’t close entirely, keeping offers visible throughout the session.

During the marketing campaign, update ranking rules to display featured products at the top of category pages with automatic expiration rules to save time.

Track real-time performance metrics including conversion rates, revenue per visitor, and promotional redemption rates.

Automatically expire featured products and promotional rules when campaigns end to prevent ongoing discount exposure.
