How do I create BOGO promotions?

BOGO simply means “Buy One Get One”. In a BOGO sales promotion your customers are offered an extra free item or discounts on any extra items when they purchase a certain amount of product.

BOGO promotions are a strategic tool to drive and increase product sales, manage inventory, and stay competitive. For example, offering BOGO promotions like “Buy 10, get one free” or “Get 50% off on every product that you purchase beyond 100” incentivizes your customers to place bulk orders and can help you reduce inventory when needed.

In Onsight, you can make use of BOGO promotions by adding the same product multiple times to the cart and giving each product a different discount or price.

How to do BOGO promotions in the app

Once you are logged into the Onsight app, you can add the same product multiple times to the cart by following these steps:

  • Add a product to the cart.
  • Tap on the 3 horizontal dots next to the product name.
  • Tap on ‘Add the same item’:

    Add same item
  • You will see the same product twice in your draft.
  • You can change the discount or price of the second product as negotiated with your customer.
  • You can also add a note:

    Add same item with discount and note

When you finish creating the order or quote, the products will display in the same sequence as you added them to your draft.

How to do BOGO promotions in the web console

Once you are logged into the Onsight web console, you can add the same product multiple times to an order by following these steps:

  • Add a product to the cart and open the cart.
  • On the left you will see a button that lets you ‘Duplicate this line’.
  • Click on this button and you will see a duplicate product in your cart.
  • Click on ‘Create Order’.
  • Select your customer (if not done yet).
  • If you have duplicated a product in the cart, you will see the duplicate product in the new order page.
  • You can also add duplicate products on the new order page by clicking on the ‘Duplicate this line’ button which is at the end of each line item.
  • You can now change the final price or the discount for the duplicated product.
