Abstract

This article examines the importance of promotional marketing in modern business. An analysis of scientific research and publications on the subject of promotions and their impact on business success has been carried out. The main types of promotions and their characteristics of use in business are considered. The key elements of the promotional marketing strategy and their influence on the effectiveness of the promotional campaign were studied. The research methodology consisted of the analysis of scientific literature and publications on the topic of promotional marketing in business, as well as the use of such methods as analytical (analysis of statistical data and reports of Flagman Seafood LLC on the use of promotions and their impact on product sales) and case study research (use of promotions by the company, their results and impact on consumers). The scientific novelty of promotional marketing research lies in the study of various aspects and effectiveness of promotional strategies in modern conditions. Specifically: analysis of the impact of various factors on the success of promotions, including pricing strategy, distribution channels and consumer behaviour; study of different types of promotions, such as discounts, gifts, loyalty programmes and promotions, in order to determine the most effective strategies for increasing sales and attracting new customers; study of the impact of promotions in different markets, in particular, study of the influence of cultural and social factors on the reaction of consumers to different promotional strategies. The study showed that the effectiveness of promotions depends on their correct selection and calculation. Insufficient attention to target group analysis and the development of an effective promotion strategy can lead to unsuccessful results and a loss of consumer confidence in the brand. The practical value of the research lies in the fact that the article provides practical advice and recommendations on the use of promotional marketing in business. In addition, the article can be useful for marketing managers and entrepreneurs who plan to develop their business with the help of promotions. The results of the study allow us to understand the importance of promotional marketing for increasing the competitiveness of the company and attracting more customers. The scientific novelty lies in deepening the understanding of promotional marketing and determining its importance for business. The article offers an original classification of promotions and analyses their role in the formation of consumer behaviour. In general, the article helps to increase the effectiveness of marketing strategies and ensure the successful operation of enterprises in the conditions of the modern market.
