Another good use for triggers is to maintain customer balance..EG: An INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE involving a customer payment
(or in the case of banks (deposit or withdrawals) would automatically maintain the balance in the customer master record.

Another scenario is if you want to put a (check) constraint on your table that refers to other rows or tables.  You can't actually do that, and need to use a trigger instead.
