Question

question 7
which of the following are examples of sales promotions?
a public relations and discounts.
b advertising and personal selling.
c samples, coupons, contests, and sweepstakes.

Explanation:

• Option A: Public relations is a different promotional mix element, not a sales promotion. Discounts are a sales promotion, but including public relations makes this option incorrect.
• Option B: Advertising and personal selling are part of the promotional mix but are not sales promotions (sales promotions are short - term incentives to encourage purchase).
• Option C: Samples (offering free product samples), coupons (providing price reductions), contests (encouraging participation with a prize), and sweepstakes (random prize - based promotions) are all common examples of sales promotions, which are short - term strategies to boost sales.

Answer:

C. Samples, coupons, contests, and sweepstakes.
