Sneak Peek: Contextual Discounts That React to Real Life

Brief: Make 0-0 World Cup matches more exciting.

Tactic: Match the discount to the boredom.

Heineken’s “Score 0.0” campaign gave discounts on 0.0% beer during scoreless matches. The longer the drought, the bigger the discount. It turned groans into grins—and brand boredom into brand love.

More brands nailed the context too:

  • IKEA gave bigger discounts the further you travelled to the store.
  • Burger King matched discounts to people’s lockdown pay cuts.
  • JetBlue rewarded passengers with crying babies by giving everyone money off their next flight.

Each one proved that the best discounts don’t just drop prices—they reframe value in the moment. And that’s just one of 13 discount strategies inside:

  • Contextual/Situational Discounts
  • Creative Mechanism Discounts
  • Incentivised Behaviour Discounts
  • Content/Media Integration
  • Sustainability Exchange Offers
  • Digital Platform Mechanics
  • Time-Based Triggers
  • Location-Based Discounts
