And also one of the crucial components in the setting of the consumer product is promotion which is used in pervasion and communication which could either be inform of advertisement. Personal selling, sales promotion, as a competitor in the market hope to influence as many consumers as a possible to choose their product over alternative product. Sales promotion is an effective strategy in an organization and is an important ingredient in most promotional program through which consumers are persuade and convinced to buy a product or services and commonly supported by sale promotion, this belief is strengthened by Porter (1996). Whose works have attempted to spell out experimental analysis of the theory of sales promotion in relation to consumption.
