7 functions of Pink

1. Financing

1.1. Customers have multiple purchase options when purchasing Pink products both online and in their stores. They allow customers to pay with their debit card, cash, any credit card, or if they are a member of pink nation, they are able to use their official Pink Credit Card. Pink credit cards come with great incentives for the customer, including coupons, deals, and occasional store credit. However, the Pink credit cards have extremely high interest rates (approximately 25%) and if they are not paid off right away they can accumulate enormous amount of debt for the customer and increase the brand's revenue.
