What did you guys say for how promotion helps

I said M&S can do promotioms like free meal vouchers for their food if they spent enough online

Wasn't too bad to be honest, quite liked it compared to past exams. I exactly like the last question about promotion though, was a bit stuck for a few minutes.

You basically had to talk about how different promotion can increase customers. I talked about sales promotions and merchandising.

Holy ****, I completely forgot about that during the exam. I'm a bit annoyed by myself since I knew this topic pretty well, but I didn't even think of that during the exam..

I talked about two pricing strategies, predatory pricing and competitive pricing, then say why they are good and what they are used for

What was the question?

It was something like: asda sold milk that was reduced from £1.18 to £1 so lower than production costs for farmers so why did asda do it
