    I want to know how people feel different between 2 words when using to promote some discount. Between "save $10" and "save 10%". Which one is better for using to promote? :D

    i would think it depends on what you're promoting... if its a sub $100 item, then I rather have 'save $10' haha :p

    $10. Because we can see the ten-dollar bill in our head.

    $10 for smaller purchases. 10% for larger ones. Pretty sure I read that somewhere once, but not sure where.

    People know the basic maths mate.

    I will go choose 10% for any item which costs more than $100 and $10 discount for any item which costs less than $100.
    For a $100 item? Well, it doesn't matter which I choose, right? ;)

    it all depends on the price, for something at like $60 say $10 off and something at $200 say 10% off

    Assuming the item is $100, I think saying Save $10 is better...makes the value more concrete.

    If the discount and dollar amount are the same for the product offered, I would go with the dollar amount every time. You save your customer one mental step to seeing their benefit and the dollar amount appears more concrete to them.
