Mix and Match Offers
Mix and Match offers are a special type of promotion that applies when the customer
purchases a specified number of a combination of items. This type of offer is typically
applicable to non weighed products that are sold with the machine in receipt mode.
However, weighed products which are pre-packed and labelled before being scanned into the
POS terminal (as a non-weighed item) can be included in mix and match promotions.
It is also possible to include products which are traded as a weighed item into a mix and match
promotion. In this instance the traded item is handled as a single item as far as mix and match
is concerned regardless of the weight actually sold.
For instance, you could use this to set up a “10% off all lamb” type of promotion. The offer
group would contain all lamb products which could be a mixture of weighed, non-weighed and
weighed prepack PLU. The offer would be set for a discount of 10% for a purchase quantity of
1. Any of the lamb items now sold will generate a 10% promotional discount.
The scale processes all items in the receipt and then allocates them to any active offers that
will result in a saving to the customer. The items are allocated to the offers in such a way as to
give the customer the best possible savings.
Products can have quantity break promotions and be part of a mix and match offer at the same
time. Provided the conditions for each promotion are met then both may be applicable.
An offer can be one of four types:-
1.
Fixed Price
– where all of the qualifying items are sold for a fixed price. The saving amount is
the total of all of the qualifying items less the fixed price.
2.
Money off
– where the normal total sales value of all of the qualifying items is reduced by
an amount. The saving is the money off value.
3.
Discount
– where the total of all of the qualifying items is discounted by a percentage
value. The saving amount is the total price – the discounted price.
4.
Free Gift
– where the cheapest item in the gift list which is in the receipt and not already
given in another offer is given free. The saving value is the value of the free gift.
An offer becomes satisfied when the number of items sold in each of the qualifying lists
matches the purchase quantity. In the case of a free gift the offer only results in a saving if one
of the items in the gift list is included in the basket. If it is, it will be given free.
