You would think for publicity purposes they might try to ensure a few very lucky winners &#8211; like a year long supply of free coffee from Family Mart, for example.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10201\" src=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/content-manager\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/familymart_fuku.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"424\" height=\"136\" \/><br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Discount Price Quoting Style<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But today&#8217;s discussion is about price drops and discounting. In Taiwan, you will see prices quoted as the remaining percentage price. In other words, instead of saying 20% off, you would say &#8220;discounted to 80%&#8221;. Is that a more intuitive way to quote a percentage drop? Here are some examples:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For the new year, 7-11 has some delicious new sweet and savory custard buns and pastries, on sale for 88% of normal price. Unfortunately, that&#8217;s not 88% off, it&#8217;s only 12% off. But they get to quote it as an auspicious 88% sale!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10201\" src=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/content-manager\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/discount_711.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"424\" height=\"136\" \/><br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here is another &#8211; when you buy 1 of any combination of lays poppables, choco pie, Fit&#8217;s, and some strawberry wafer thing, you can buy a second one for only 60% of the regular price (40% off).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10201\" src=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/content-manager\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/choco_pie_discount.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"336\" \/><br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>At this cafe, buy a coffee or latte to go and pay only 80%. You get the idea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10201\" src=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/content-manager\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/coffee_discount.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"424\" height=\"136\" \/><br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Real Estate Discount Quoting<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Which one is more intuitive to the consumer when it comes to real estate? Would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/2019\/11\/the-1-or-1-problem-no-fee-op-and-net-effective-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"net effective pricing (opens in a new tab)\">net effective pricing<\/a> be easier for everyday consumers? Instead of &#8220;no fee and 1 month free&#8221; we would say, &#8220;No fee, pay only 11 months of your annual lease.&#8221; It also forces the landlord to reveal the duration of the incentive &#8211; &#8220;pay 12 out of 14 months of your lease&#8221; instead of &#8220;2 months free rent&#8221; without immediately revealing the minimum lease required.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>How about broker rebating? In the case of a flat price cut, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/2019\/11\/better-than-no-fee-free-rent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"a renter rebate, (opens in a new tab)\">a renter rebate,<\/a> both languages actually quote the same way. You can only say &#8220;$10 off&#8221; in both languages. But how about a percentage cut? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/2019\/11\/ziprealty-early-pioneer-turned-zombie-company\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"ZipRealty, now a zombie company of sorts (opens in a new tab)\">ZipRealty, now a zombie company of sorts<\/a>, used to quote that you get 0.6% of the agent&#8217;s commission back as a rebate. But it would be more transparent to know they are only talking about the you get a commission discounted to 2.4% (instead of the usual 3.0%).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Lastly, the most important discount of all &#8211; what was the sales price of a listing relative to the asking price? On sister site RealtyHop, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtyhop.com\/blog\/realtyhop-nyc-price-drop-report-january-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"price discount records (opens in a new tab)\">price discount records<\/a> for thousands of NYC condos and co-ops. That is, what was the listing agent&#8217;s initial asking price, were there any price drops along the way, and where did the buyer finally buy?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Would it make more sense, instead of saying a listing sold for -8% of the asking price, to say it sold for 92% of the asking price?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Even if you aren&#8217;t convinced one way or another about which way to quote discounts, hopefully you realize January is a great time of year to find housing. It&#8217;s not as great as November, but you should see more selection. Why not take the time to browse some &#8220;pay 11 months a year&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/nyc\/no-fee-apartments-for-rent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"new york apartments?
