Introduction to Product Promotions for Stores
Promotions used by many types of businesses are similar to price rules. As they are defined in opentaps Promotions can be used to record special promotional offers which apply to an entire order, or to special pricing for a particular product, or a particular customer. For example, you can set up rules to give customers free shipping or a percentage discount if they purchase a minimum quantity. Many styles of promotional offers are possible.
Often, a business will design a few types of promotions, test them carefully for the results obtained, and then offer them from time to time on different products, to specific customers, or at certain store locations. Because creating Promotions is somewhat technical in nature, like writing a program, and because Promotions need to be tested before they are widely deployed, it is advisable to concentrate on careful development of Promotions.
Promotions are defined in the Catalog Manager, Promotions page, and they are then applied to specified Stores in the Promotions page > [Stores] tab, or alternately in the Store page, Promos Sub-Tab. In this section we will discuss how Promotions are defined in the Catalog Manager. (Also, in the Stores section of this User Guide, we will discuss the alternate way promotions are selected and applied to a Store.)
To access Promotions from the Main Navigation screen,
Click: [Catalog] Icon > [Catalog Manager Application] drop down menu >
[Promos] link.
The Promotions page opens to "Find Product Promos" screen displaying a list
of currently defined promotions, and a [New ProdPromo] button for creating
new promotions.
