We've recently added promo code functionality for the instructors. This gives even more marketing tool to our instructors and helps BitDegree mass adoption rates.
Teachers are able to select how their promo code is going to function. And there's a couple of options:
1. Free course
People who are using the promo code that a teacher creates have access to the course for free. This allows teachers to sell their courses, but keep it flexible if they want to give out some copies at an event for free.
2. Lowered price course
A promo code can serve as a discount. Instead of instructors having to change the price, they can simply create different promo codes for different price points.
3. Discount from course price
A flat discount for a course. Instructors have the ability to issue coupon like deals. So it doesn't matter how much the course costs this option always provides a static discount.
4. Percentage discount option.
This option allows users to generate a % discount from there course.
We hope that these additional tools will empower BitDegree teachers to connect with more students and control their content on the platform. Teachers are able to select for how long the promo codes are active or how many promo codes can be used in total. This is only one of many features we've already implemented or working to implement in the future.
