Frequently asked questions
Will running weekly discounts hurt my San Diego brand?
Only if they're sitewide. Time-fenced offers (Tuesday only, before 3pm only, walk-ins only) protect perceived value while filling specific empty slots.
How much off is the “right” amount?
10–15% feels like a small thank-you. 20–25% feels like a real deal. Anything above 30% trains San Diego clients to wait — avoid.
How do I promote slow-day offers without spamming?
Use a single weekly Tuesday-morning email or SMS blast, plus an evergreen mention in your Instagram bio. Don't repeat on every channel.
