Adding Products to Account Promotions

When a key account manager adds products to an account promotion, those products are called promoted products. In the Promoted Products list, a key account manager can add products to a promotion or remove products from it and maintain information about a product that is specific to the promotion.

The key account manager can choose to add all the promoted products that belong to a specific category and all its subcategories as long as those products are on the account's authorized distribution list.

When a product has been designated as a promoted product, it can be associated with baseline and shipment data. For more information, see To associate baseline and shipment data with promoted products.

Key account managers can also simulate the results of promoting a product by using product lift factors. For more information on promoted product simulation, see Simulating Promotions for Promoted Products and Categories.

To add products to a promotion

1. Navigate to the Promotions screen > Promotion List view.
2. Drill down on the Promotion field hyperlink for a selected promotion.
3. In the Promoted Products list, add a product to the list. You can do this in one of two ways:
   • Click New to add a new promoted product, select a product from the Pick Product dialog box, and then click OK.
   • Click Add to add an existing promoted product whose start date, end date, and account match the promotion's start date, end date, and account. Select a product from the Promoted Products dialog box, and click OK.
4. Optional. Click Products.

   Clicking the Products button adds all promoted products that are both on the account's authorized distribution list and associated with the categories and subcategories assigned to the promotion.

   Repeat Step 3 to add more products to a promotion.
