Samsung Galaxy S8 it will be available for pre-order starting from April 8 at a multitude of partners of the Samsung company, but also at its stores. Until then, some Samsung partners in the US are already starting to create promotional materials to promote the pre-orders of the Samsung Galaxy S8 promotion among customers.
More specifically, Target launched a special ad today to promote the pre-orders that Americans can register for the Samsung Galaxy S8. Below you can see this advertising material for the Samsung Galaxy S8 created by the people at Target, it is valid for the period April 2 - April 8, that is, before the pre-orders start.
According to this promotional material, those who buy the Samsung Galaxy S8 at Target will receive a free Samsung Gear VR. moreover, each purchase of the Samsung Galaxy S8 will bring Target customers a gift card worth 100 dollars, so we are talking about very large gifts received by customers.
Samsung Galaxy S8 – great gifts on pre-order
The US prices of the Samsung Galaxy S8 are not confirmed by this ad, but customers receive gifts worth $230. The Samsung Gear VR costs $130 separately, and combined with that gift card, customers receive $230 worth of freebies when they pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S8.
This year's strategy regarding Samsung Galaxy S8 pre-orders is not much different from last year's, except that Target also offers a $100 gift card. Considering that the Samsung Galaxy S8 would cost 800 dollars in the US, these gifts add up to more than a quarter of the total value of the Korean product.
Basically, Samsung and Target think they can convince customers to buy the Samsung Galaxy S8 instead of other terminals based on these gifts. We have to admit that the amount is high, but the Gear VR is useless, so only that gift card should really be considered as a useful gift when pre-ordering the Samsung Galaxy S8.
