There are several promotion methods in PartsWatch that operate in a variety of different ways:
- Buy One Get One – Used to buy a quantity of something and get another one of the same thing at a set amount, a % off or a $ amount off. For example: Buy 3 tires, get 4th for 50% off.
- Buy One Get Something Else – Used to buy a quantity of something and get something else at a set amount, a % off or a $ amount off. For example: Buy 2 wiper blades, get wiper fluid free.
- Packages/Bundles – Used to buy a certain quantity of several things at a set amount, a % off or a $ amount off. For example: Buy 5 quarts of oil and 1 oil filter for $24.99.
- Item Quantity Breaks – Used to buy a certain quantity of something for an amount per item or a set amount. For example: Buy 3 for $10.00 or Buy 3 for $10.00 each.
- Progressive Breakpoints – Used to buy a certain quantity that gives progressively better pricing depending on the quantity purchased for a set $ Amount, % off or $ Amount off. For example, 3 for $10.00, 5 for $15.00, 8 for $20.00.
