Wouldn't it be great if a business could predict more accurately what their turnover for the week or even the day would be!

The world of business has always had the problem of using hope and speculation to predict their turnover so they can be around tomorrow to try and predict it all again.

Well we have the answer to that very issue with "Predict-A-Deal" that simply allows a business to get "predictable" sales even at the last minute.

Predict-A-Deals are listed the same as LA Deal Prices but with options for the business to hold the release for up to 30 days so the business can release deals for their local customers at the best time to suit the business.

These best times to release the Predict-A-Deals can be to fill tables in a restaurant, sell perishables that would normally be discarded, sell tickets to a theater, clear end of stock before a new shipment, anything really that can help a business squeeze the most out of the demand by offering products or services to customers at more than 80% off the normal Retail Price (RRP / SRP) and again the business still receives the 100% Listed Retail Price.

Preset Predict-A-Deals in advance

Predict-A-Deals could be arranged so that the business has the deals processed in advance and stored in their business account ready to release in the last hours of the day, like a restaurant could find that they are slow on the day and with the staff already clocked in and costing the business regardless, with the click of a button the business can release a number of stored Predict-A-Deals that can be set with an expiring time limit for that day only or over the next seven days and the local LA Club members would be immediately notified of the release.

Even if some of the deals weren't taken up because they were released too late or there were too many then any remaining would not be lost but would be returned back to the business's account to be released again at a different time within the original 30 day release period.

Predict-A-Deals can be stored and scheduled to be automatically released on certain dates up to a seven day period so as to be more predictable for spreading staff and stock.

Ideal for regular and traveling customers

Because a business is receiving the 100% Retail Price for both the Predict-A-Deals and the LA Deal Prices there is no problem if either regular customers or travelers took up the deals such as for a restaurant table or a hotel room when they were released as the strategy for businesses should be to use the deals to gain steady turnovers and higher margins.

The Predict-A-Deals can be specific to a product or service or could be listed in specific values such as $20.00, $50.00 or $100.00 to cover any number of items offered and this way whichever set of Predict-A-Deals the business releases it would be set for a higher value to what item is being offered and because the Predict-A-Deals are currency the Predict-A-Deals could be totaled in value then any difference between the item and the deal can be given back as normal currency change. (within terms)

Know what demand can be handled and use Predict-A-Deals to get the sales

The business should know what demand they could handle and what sales they could have when predicting the number of deals to release so that they could still predict that "demand is greater than the supply".

The Predict-A-Deals are only processed by OMMs and could be available within 3 to 6 hours of when a business wanted to release the deals such as when a restaurant realizes in the morning that the vacancies were a little too high for the evening and wanted to fill more tables, or ticket sales for a cinema were a little low and needed a boost, even hotel bookings are looking a bit vacant, or the all important reason of just needing to get more sales to cover the overheads.

As part of the marketing for a business to have this flexibility they would have on hand the BataCredit in-store cards available or have funding in their BataCredit Business account where they can accept payment over the counter with funds immediately released to a new or existing customer's BataCredit account to buy Predict-A-Deals at the Point of Sale.

A business can gear themselves to use Predict-A-Deals so they can offer deals to passing traffic by seizing the moment and have an option to Sign Up customers to become LA Club members while in the store at a convenient terminal.

Look at all the types of businesses that can use Predict-A-Deals

Predict-A-Deals can be ideal for Restaurants, Bakeries, Fruit Markets, Butchers, Hotels, Motels, Bars, Cinemas, Theaters, Sports Events, Airline Tickets, Petrol, Stock clearance, Spas, Hairdressers, Dentists, Accountants, Freight, all types of food lines that have perishable and in fact any time that extra sales are needed to fill a void at the last minute.

A key with Predict-A-Deals and LA Deal Prices is that although the buyer maybe getting a great price with the deal they are in fact a top paying customer so a different flow on response can come from a business and its staff when dealing with any issue from customers.

As with LA Deal Prices the Predict-A-Deal cost is a 7.5% LAT fee deducted after the products or services are collected by the buyer, - a business needs to first register in ComTechXX and begin listing their products or services, then when they are ready to offer any deals they need to establish the business's status with a TrustBiz registration which provides the unique business license.
