Created a Max. discount (38%) coupon on Notion Press online store for my part autobiography book; Promo discount of 27% on amazon and flipkart for 9 days
Today I started exploring the book discount-promotion campaign options that are provided by Notion Press. I was surprised to note that I could offer a 38% (max) discount ***coupon*** on my paperback book: "Autobiography of an Indian Software Techie and Spiritual Aspirant – Part 1" on the Notion Press online store here: https://notionpress.com/read/autobiography-of-an-indian-software-techie-and-spiritual-aspirant-part-1-1325351.
What a buyer has to do is to visit the above webpage and type in the coupon text (without quotes) "GOODDEAL", in the field/box stating "Enter Coupon Code" right next to the Price label (₹ 285). That applies the discount of ₹ 108, making the discounted book price as ₹ 177.
I have created 10 such coupons which I think means that the above coupon-text can be used 10 times before the coupon stops operating.
I have also created a Free Shipping campaign from tomorrow (23rd Aug. 2019) till end of the year. But I think if a coupon is used, then the free shipping will not apply.
The usual shipping charge to an India address is ₹ 50.
These discount-campaigns drastically reduce the royalty but that's fine with me as I am doing this work as NOT-FOR-PROFIT. In fact, I did NOT want royalty but Notion Press does not provide that zero royalty possibility in its main book sale details web form. I want the customer/book-buyer to get the best deal.
I think these campaigns apply only to Notion Press online store and NOT the amazon.in and flipkart.com stores which also sell the same book.

Update: I tried out a "Promo" campaign option for this book. This option applies to amazon.in and flipkart.com sales! I can discount the book at a maximum of 27%, bringing its price down to Rs.208, and with me getting zero royalty.
But this can be done only for a period of 30 days in total. I have now scheduled a promo campaign from 25th Aug. 2019 to 2nd Sept. 2019, a period of 9 days, where the book will be sold at Rs. 208 on amazon.in and flipkart.com instead of Rs. 285.
That's cool! This leaves 21 more days of promo campaign possibility in future for this book.
