Chiify lets you schedule a temporary price drop (or a free run) for a book across your stores — a proven way to spike sales and climb the charts.
Setting up a promotion
1. Open the book and find the price promotion option.
2. Choose the promotional price (including free, where stores allow it) and the start and end dates.
3. Save — Chiify schedules the change with your stores. Retailers apply and revert the price on their own timing, so set the start a few days ahead.
How to make it convert
- Pair it with visibility. A discount nobody sees does nothing. Line up a newsletter, social posts, or a promo-site feature for the same window.
- Use your [Universal Book Link](/help/marketing/universal-book-link) so every reader lands at their preferred store.
- Promote book 1 in a series — readers who finish it often buy the rest at full price.
- Keep promos occasional. Permanent discounts train readers to wait.
After the promo
Watch your sales data to see the lift and the follow-on full-price sales (the "tail") in the days after.
Promotions are a tool, not magic — the discount opens the door, your marketing brings the readers.
