Promotion Groups
Select Configuration>Rate Management>Promotions>Promotion Groups to display the Promotion Groups screen. This option is available when the Rates>Promotions application parameter is set to Y.
Use Promotions to create promotional programs that are easily communicated to a guest. These promotions are available for selection from the Rate Query screen and the Reservation screen. In setting up a promotion, a promotion group (with its own promotion group code) is first created. For example, you might create a promotion group called Summer Program. Then separate promotion codes are created to tie in with the goals of each promotion group. For instance, a promotion (with its own promotion code) under the Summer Program might be Take Back the Beaches; this promotion might be offered to Florida residents during the summer off-peak time. A rate code can then be linked to the promotion code. A promotion can offer packages and amenities as well as special room rates.
