If you want to give out your decks for free as samples, as promotional materials, or just out of the goodness of your heart, go for it! You get to set the prices for anything and everything you sell, and you can post them for free either temporarily or forever.
Offering a Free Deck
Sellers are encouraged to make some of their materials free. People are much more likely to look at your store if they sample free products from you and like them. This is especially true of new users.
Anyone with a Boom Learning account can “buy” a free deck, and they get to keep it forever - even if you later raise the price.
Offering a Sale Price
If you want to have a short-termerm sale, first announce the terms of the sale. You can make this announcement using whatever means you use to reach your buyers (blog, social media, etc.). We do not currently have a way to show the prior price, so you'll need to announce the percentage off to make potential buyers aware of the reduction in price.
We support the use of Hashtags to identify items included in a sale. Hashtags are used by publishers to allow Buyers to search for decks marked down. A publisher can choose their own hashtags to create sales for their stores or can participate in large Boom Store sales. The hashtag must be put at the beginning of the deck tile and be at least 4 characters, up to 20 characters, choose your hashtag wisely.
To begin a sale, you will need to manually open the product and change the price in the details in time for the sale's launch and add the hashtag that applies to your sale. When the sale is over, you'll need to go back in to change it back to the original price and remove the hashtag.
Adding or removing a hashtag phrase at the beginning of your title will allow you to make immediate updates.
Price updates will also be immediate to enable hashtag sales.
