The process of setting up a promotion includes the following steps:
The page developer creates an HTML file that contains the text and graphics, if any, that you want to use to advertise the promotion on your Web sites. (Text and graphics for a promotion are called the “promotion media.”)
You then do the following in the ATG Control Center:
Add the new promotion to the Promotions repository.
When you add the new promotion, you also define its properties by specifying a range of information, such as the type of discount to offer, the amount of the discount, and the location of the file that contains the media for it. See Adding a New Promotion.
Create a discount rule for the promotion.
As part of adding the new promotion, you create the discount rule that defines the product or products associated with the promotion and the circumstances under which it is applied, for example, “If a visitor buys any mountain bike, offer the specified discount on helmets”. See Creating a Discount Rule.
Create and enable a scenario that defines the people to whom you want the promotion to apply. See Specifying the People Who Receive the Promotion.
