What is the difference between sales incentives and sales promotions?

Different sales incentives have different advantages and best use cases.

In a sales or distribution channel, a sales promotion can also be a limited opportunity for a vendor or supplier’s business buyers to get rewards or bonuses for selling a particular product or service. For instance, if the supplier has a points-based loyalty program, distributors or dealers could earn double reward points for buying or selling products.
