About Promotions and Deals
A promotion is a special discount that you create to market a specific product. For example, if you want to increase the sales of a specific model of computer, you might offer a promotional discount of 10% on that model for one month.
In Siebel ePricer, there are two types of promotions:
- Corporate promotions. Company-wide promotions of products which can be made available to any account, created by brand managers and corporate marketing managers. Corporate promotions are optional. They can be used as templates to make it easier to create account promotions.
- Account promotions. Account-specific promotions that apply to one account, many accounts, or all accounts. created by account managers. Account promotions are necessary to make a promotional discount available to customers.
After you create an account promotion, customers from those accounts can view the promotional deal in catalog views, while the promotion is available. When the promotion period expires or when the fund that was created to pay for the promotion becomes inactive, the promotion is no longer visible to customers.
NOTE: You cannot create promotions for customizable products.
NOTE: If you use promotions and deals with other types of price adjustments, the final price depends on the order in which Siebel ePricer applies the pricing adjustments. For more information, see The Processing Order of Price Adjustments.
