What are Flash Sales?
Flash Sales are a dynamic and exciting way to promote your products and attract customers. Flash Sales offer limited-time discounts for a maximum of approximately 12 hours, creating a sense of urgency and encouraging quick purchases. These sales are curated by Flightsim.to and can occur at any time during the availability window you select.
To participate in Flash Sales, you'll need to specify the following:
- Time Range: Define the window during which your Flash Sales can occur, the Start Date and the End Date. Flightsim.to will then randomly schedule the sales within this period. The frequency is random. The sale may be applied multiple times during the time window you select.
- Sales Limit: Decide on a maximum number of sales for your Flash Sales. Once this limit is reached, the Flash Sale for that product will automatically end and discontinued.
- Discount Rate: Choose the discount percentage for your Flash Sale. Offering a significant discount, like 50%, can dramatically increase the visibility of your products. At least 30% are required.
Let's enhance the clarity and detail of the example for better understanding:
- Imagine you set up a Flash Sale for your product, scheduled to run between January 1st and January 30th, 2023 (Time Range). You've set a sales cap of 30 units (Sales Limit) and elected a discount of 35% (Discount Rate). Here's how it unfolds: Flash Sales are one-day events, and Flightsim.to will randomly initiate your Flash Sale on select days within your defined timeframe. For instance, your Flash Sale might go live on January 3rd, then again on January 12th, and potentially on January 29th. However, it's important to note the sales cap you've established. If your Flash Sale hits the 30 sales target on the second activation date, say on January 12th, the promotion will automatically conclude. The system will then deactivate the Flash Sale, preventing any further discounted sales. Therefore, there wouldn't be a third Flash Sale on January 29th as the limit has already been met and you need to set up a new Flash Sale order.
How to Enable Flash Sales for Your Products:
- Log into your Vendor Console on Flightsim.to.
- Navigate to the 'Discounts' section and select 'Create a Flash Sale'
- Fill in the required information, including the time range, sales limit, and discount rate.
- Submit the Flash Sale for review. Once approved, it will become eligible to be featured in an upcoming Flash Sale event.
- Everytime your Flash Sale launches, you will be notified by email.
FAQs:
Q: How often can I run a Flash Sale?
A: You can run Flash Sales as often as you like, provided they fall within your selected time range and until your sales limit is reached. If you want to allow Flightsim.to for permanent flash sales, set the end date a few years ahead and set the sales cap to zero for unlimited sales.
Q: Will I know in advance when my Flash Sale is going to happen?
A: The nature of Flash Sales is spontaneity; therefore, exact timing is not predetermined and calculated by an algorithm. However, they will always fall within the time range you've selected and once live, you will receive an notification email by us.
