Promotions and discounts

Give a discount on an order

1. 1Open the order.
2. 2In Quote Details, press the Discount row.
3. 3Choose Money Discount (an amount in dollars) or Percentage Discount (0–100%).
4. 4Type the amount and press Save in the pop-up.
5. 5Press SAVE on the order.

The discount is taken off before taxes: the Grand Total is the moving charge, fuel, valuation, storage, materials, services and fees, less the discount, plus taxes. On a multi-day move each day has its own discount; the row shows them all.

Show a sale promotion on your quotes

A promotion shows customers a higher "was" hourly rate crossed out above the rate they're getting — in quote emails and on their portal. The customer always pays the real rate; the promotion never changes the price.

1. 1Go to Settings › Pricing & calculator › Promotions.
2. 2Pick the move type.
3. 3Switch on Bloomingdales sale promotion off/on.
4. 4Under Discounts, switch on the hourly and/or long-distance percentage and type it (for example 35).
5. 5If you want banner words, switch on Enable hourly moves promotion slogan (or the long-distance one) and write the slogan.
6. 6Press Save.

The "was" rate is worked out so your real rate is exactly that percentage off it: the real rate divided by (100% − the percentage), rounded to whole dollars. With a $179 rate and 35%, the customer sees $275.00 crossed out, then $179.00 — and $179 really is 35% off $275. The travel rate is crossed out the same way. On a long-distance move the rate per unit is crossed out the same way, kept to the cent.

The percentage is copied onto an order when the order is created, so changing the promotion later doesn't change the percentage on orders that already exist.
