How do you set-up a coupon for money off the total order?

Based on research that shows sending patrons a promotional coupon worth a flat dollar amount does better than percentage off deals because recipients think of them as leaving cash on the table, we're implementing a Ballet Bucks campaign for our Nutcracker single ticket buyers. The promotion will be worth $50 off their next order with a hard deadline. I'm struggling with how to implement this though. Here's my thought process:

  • Pricing rules and discounts apply per ticket and not the total order, so they won't work.
  • Allocate works within the application, but not online. It also applies the $50 towards Contributions and Memberships, which we don't want to have happen. Additionally, it would require our Patron Engagement (Box Office) staff to subtract the $50 from the order total before clicking Allocate and using that amount for the Allocate amount. I want this to be easy and error proof.
  • It doesn't look like negative dollar amount fees are possible so that's out too.

The promotional piece is ready to mail, so I can't change the offer. I'm hoping you've done something clever that I can shamelessly copy. If it works online in TNEW too I'll owe you one. Thanks!

    This might not be the best way to do it, but since your promotional piece is already in progress my best idea would be to do a series of Product Volume pricing rules working your way through every volume option from 1 ticket up to your max online order volume.

    So for 1 to 1 products, it would be a price change of $50. For 2 to 2 products, it's a price chance of $25, for 3 to 3 products, it's a price change of $16.66, etc. This also assumes that none of your prices are less than $50, but if that's the case that would complicate matters more.

    I hope it works out!
