  1. Don’t discount; add value.
  2. Don’t be vague about the rules or timeline.
  3. Don’t just run promotions for new clients; show your loyal clients love, too.
  4. Don’t make it overly complicated.
  5. Don’t run out of whatever it is you’re offering before the promo ends.
  6. Don’t bother with promotions that don’t speak to your target client.
  7. Don’t pay a bunch of money to advertise your promotion; look at grassroots methods.
  8. Don’t keep running the same old, played-out promotions and expect different results.
  9. Don’t ignore the numbers and give away more than your books can handle.
  10. Don’t wait for the day the promotion begins to begin promoting it.
