The competition for customer attention is hotter than ever; 92% of customers say better access to information (e.g., online product reviews) has changed what they expect from companies. The good news is marketers can still earn attention with the right sales promotions, especially when those deals are personalized. Another report showed 65% of customers agree receiving personalized offers and exclusive discounts has a major or moderate influence on their loyalty.

Sales promotions are a great way for your organization to encourage potential customers to buy your product or sign up for your service. Done well, they boost short-term sales but also attract new customers, prompt positive online reviews, and lead to repeat purchases.

But it can also feel like our days are overrun with sales promotions. Chances are, your inbox is packed with marketing emails from businesses offering discounts, special prices, buy-one-get-one offers, flash sales, and free-shipping offers. This work examines the effectiveness of promotion in manufacturing industry by laying emphasis on BAGCO. Since inception of poly propylene bag BAGCO, which started with just forty (40) Polypropylene bags to test the market, made history rapidly as a result of the innovated product

Also according to Ray Wild (years) promotion is concerned primarily with the persuasion gained largely at securing increasing the sale of the actual market  prior to this study, the researcher was able to observe restriction in the use of sale promotion in consumer product effective in consumer product, however, this shows that the effective promotion strategies will diminish market effort.
While the presence of effective promotion strategies will bring about good performance on set goal as techniques of sale promotion is to complement and reinforce effort towards the achievement of set goal.

Getting the staff list of salesmen from the marketing department, was a though task due to negative attitude of Nigerian to researchers.
The other difficulty was the aspect of getting people to answer the questionnaire because most of the time the work force were busy, but after much persuasion they cooperated with the researcher.
