Modes

  • Growth mode is designed to select promotions that will maximize your total order volume. This is the most aggressive mode Otter Promotions offers; focusing on bringing in new customers as well as offering promotions with larger discounts. Providing larger discounts help stores reach a wider customer base to attract as many customers as possible.

  • Balanced mode is designed to select promotions that provide customers with the incentive to order while keeping profit margins in mind. This mode is less aggressive than Growth mode and offers a more conservative approach for your business by selecting promotions that maximizes take home pay and increases order volume.

  • Custom mode is designed to provide customers with additional control over their promotion strategy. Custom mode gives customers the ability to select the type of promotions they want to run as well as the aggression level (high, medium, low).

Pricing & Billing

Boost billing is based on a “per day” usage rate. This means that instead of paying a fixed price at the beginning of each month per location, that rate is converted into a daily rate and you are only charged for the days where Boost is active.

  • Example Breakdown: If your subscription is $60 USD a month per location, then your daily rate is calculated as follows:
    $60 / 30 days = $2/day
  • Example Scenario: Boost was active for 25 days in November (30 days)
    $60 / 30 days = $2/day
    $2 x 25 = $50 Boost Billing
