Merchant Offer Best Practice Guide
Make every offer count with clear messaging, strong value, and the right presentation.
What Makes an Irresistible Offer?
- A clear value proposition
- A sense of urgency
- The offer is simple (no complex jargon or extra steps)
How to Write Copy
Lead with the benefit so customers immediately understand what they’ll save or receive.
“Enjoy 10% off storewide” “Save 20% on all pizzas” “Buy 2 coffees, get 1 free” “Save $10 when you spend $50” “Save $20 on your next treatment”
Keep it short. Use action words. Highlight the Benefit.
Creating a Good vs Bad Offer Graphic
- Benefit is immediate
- “This Friday only” creates a sense of urgency
- Strong visual hierarchy
- Offer is too vague
- No action-focused language
- Blurry image
Quick Tips
- Test different formats to see what performs best
- Always double-check spelling, numbers, and restrictions
- Include your brand logo subtly for recognition
- Consider seasonal themes or special events to make offers timely
- Keep call-to-actions visible and clear (EX: “Shop Now” and “Book Today”)
