Basically, the students would expect to pay the prices affixed in times of promotion. This is especially so if the promotions programs are done on a constant basis and if they result to massive interests in the products on offer.

In reality though, the students would have expected to pay the normal prices since promotions are temporary and can never and should never be used as a main selling strategy.
