Small discount or a bonus

2025-07-05 05:37:11 UTC

We offer a small discount or a bonus to the customers, implying that if they buy more, they'll get a small bonus without giving too much away, encouraging them to bulk buy our product.

Also making them think or feel that they're getting more without devaluing our project.
