Creating and Modifying Offers


You can use the following procedures to create and modify offers.

To create or modify an offer

  1. Navigate to the Offers screen.
  2. In the All Offers list, create a record, or select an offer to change.
  3. Complete the fields.

    The following table describes some of the fields.

    Fields
    Comment

    Offer Code

    Contains a unique code that identifies the offer. You can change this code, but make sure the new value is unique.

    Type

    Designates the purpose of the offer. For example, Cross-Sell, Retention, or Up-Sell.

    Activation Date

    Identifies the date that the offer becomes active. You can associate an inactive offer with a campaign, but when you launch the campaign, only active offers are executed.

    Expiration Date

    Use the calendar controls to select the offer's expiration date.

    Expired offers must not be associated with campaigns because they are not sent out when the campaign is launched.

    Organization

    The organizations that have visibility to associate to see this offer in their campaign design views.

    Approval Status

    Indicates if the offer has been submitted, approved, or declined.

    Approval History

    Shows the approval history of the offer.

    Products

    Use to indicate which products are being promoted by this offer.

    Price List

    Used to associate a previously defined price list with this offer.

    A marketer can create promotional prices for specific products. When an offer recipient clicks a product item hyperlink in an email or Web treatment and goes to the product detail Web page, the recipient sees the predefined promotional price.

    The set of products associated with the selected price list can be different from the set of products defined in the offer's product list. When a contact responds to a treatment, clicks a product link, and goes to the product detail page, the contact sees the promotional price that is defined for that product only if that product is a part of the price list that was selected for this offer. Otherwise, the contact gets the default price for the product.

    Promotion

    Use to associate a Promotion from the Order Management system (from the product catalog), such as a special price discount or product bundle.

    Loyalty Promotion

    Shows the Loyalty promotion associated with this offer. The offer is used to advertise this loyalty promotion. When a customer transacts accordingly, the promotion can award them loyalty points.
