Flash sales can boost revenue, build brand awareness, and encourage impulse purchases. Your customers don’t want to feel left out if they don’t purchase your products (this doesn’t sound right. Could say something about “don’t want to be left out of a great deal”). Flash promotions use limited time deals to create a sense of urgency. Flash promotions can create a high value of sales in a short period of time. Take Black Friday for example. Encourage your customers to make impulse decisions with flash sales.
