Introduction

Marketing actions associated to the promotion of product gain consumer buying


and enhance the efficiency of intermediary or whole seller and retailers. Purchase
and evaluate customer products through exact goals that can be achieved through
efforts to boost sales in the short term, Consumer implementation at stores,
including getting to the point of retail sale displays, encouraging retailers to stock
products, and providing sales support for employees' efforts. In reality, motivating
behaviors like switching brands or increasing the number of units purchased is
challenging. Therefore, we can see that businesses dedicate a significant amount of
their money to promotion of sales. The idea is to make the products more
appealing and valuable. While there are a variety of ways to encourage sales, the
most typical and cheap spot prices have long been the most popular. However, this
is frequently dependent on the country.
Consumers buy products without participating in any severe psychological
processes. These products are generally common, and buying such has become a
practice. Buying any goods requires very little cognitive exertion. (Wathieu &
Murre, 2007).
Here, Marketers make use of various of offers and advertising strategies to attract
buyers and encourage shoppers to modify their buying habits and give different
commodities precedence. Consumers can evaluate and compare two brands more
easily with the help of a sales promotion. This expands the range of options for
influencing consumers' purchasing decisions. Marketers and merchants devise
sales promotion techniques and activities based on consumer preferences.
In recent times, companies have used a variety of marketing techniques and
approaches to increase market sales and fulfill their targets on time (Sinha, 1999).
Sales strategies are employed to provoke the appropriate response from customers,
and sales promotion tools are utilized in a number of methods to persuade
customers to buy a product or service. This sales activity is for short term only.
Marketers can learn about shopper demand and what commodities they are willing
to buy these types of offers and activities. To effectively stimulate the consumer,
sales marketing strategies are adapted. (Gilbert D. , 2002)

In previous studies It was discovered that retailers and manufacturers have


strategies to encourage customers to take advantage of the benefits, such as buy
one, get one free, and free samples of the things to be consumed, as well as coupon
or rebate as motivating causes for sales, aside from the commodity's price
reduction. Previous research, on the other hand, have shown that the advertising
message and information regarding pricing presentation on the product to the
customer have a significant impact on the customer's buying behavior and can be
used to identify the customer's habit. It also has an impact on purchasing power
and the intention to purchase a commodity during the concession period, resulting
in sales. (Sinha, 1999)
Literature Review
We can see that firms invest a large amount of their expenditure for sale
promotion. We can see that corporations devote a significant amount of their expenditures to
promotion of sales. The idea is to make the products more appealing and valuable. These beliefs lead us
to believe that the institutions are attempting to influence customer purchasing behaviour, and as a result,
they are launching aggressive advertising efforts or altering price policies, among other things. The goal
of this study is to look at the preferences of customers in various promotional tools. However, the impact
of a free sample, price decrease, social surrounds, and physical surroundings on customer purchasing
behaviour and sales promotion will be discussed in this study. The research that we used in this study was
based on.In this study, researchers were asked 200 participants to respond in the
questionnaire of self-government to collect data. In this study, a questionnaire was
employed as a research tool. The major goal of the empirical study was to
determine the questionnaire's reliability employed in this study. We recoded the
forms after collecting the questions and then entered them into SPSS for regression
analysis. In terms of customers' willingness to participate in sales promotions,
research has revealed that a free sample, the discount rate, the physical
environment, and the social environment all played a greater role in the
development of consumer buying behavior and sales promotion during consumer
sales promotion. This study's practical consequences include recognizing sales
marketing strategies that. The impact of sales promotion tools on customer buying
behaviors of a Pakistani citizen, specifically in Karachi, was investigated in this
study. The study's goal is to determine the impact of sales promotion techniques
such as price discounts, samples, coupons, and buy one get one free offers on
customer purchasing behavior. A total of 255 people took part in this survey by
filling out a questionnaire. A convenience sample technique was used to acquire
the data. (t = 3.159, p= 0.002). Free Sample has a strong significant relationship
with consumer buying behavior (t = 3.603, p= 0.000) and Buy-One-Get-One also
has a strong relationship with consumer buying behavior (t = 3.585, p= 0.000), but
the coupon has no significant relationship with consumer buying behavior (t =
1.222, p= 0.223). The importance of sales promotion tools in influencing consumer
purchasing behavior was highlighted in this study.
