<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Bonus packs rarely attract new customers because the consumer is less likely to have previously purchase the brand. obtaining an extra quantity does not reduce the purchase risk. In fact it adds to the risk, especially when the consumer does not like to waste a product by throwing it away if he or she is dissatisfied with the product.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Some marketing research indicates that consumers are skeptical of bonus pack offers. when the bonus is small (20%~40%), consumers often believe the price has not truly changed.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">When the bonus is large, such as a two for the price of one sale,consumer tend to believe that the price was first increased to compensate for the additional quantity. Even though increasing the size of a bonus catches the consumer's attention, it may not convey the desired message.
