Using Promotion Wizard

The first step to creating a promotion is to give it a name and then click ‘Wizard’.

Step 1 Basic Conditions

The next part is to set the basic conditions of your promotion. You can pick more than one. If you decide not to use one, hit the little trash can icon after you clicked on the condition.

1. Date, should this promotion be valid only between certain dates?

2. Weekday, should this promotion be valid only on certain days of the week?

3. Calendar day, should this promotion only be valid on certain dates of the month?

4. Time of day, should this promotion only be valid on certain times of day?

5. Organizational unit, should this promotion only be valid at certain locations?

6. Total product quantity, should this promotion require a certain number of products on the receipt to be valid?

7. Customer, should this promotion only be valid for a certain customer?

8. Customer Group, should this promotion only be valid for a certain customer group?

9. External Coupon Number, should this promotion only be valid if an External Coupon is scanned? This will need to be set up in number ranges as well.

Product Selection

This step is asking for which product or condition must be present for the promotion to be valid.

1. Products with Tag, should products with a tag be present for the promotion to be valid?

2. Specific Product, should a specific product be present for the promotion to be valid?

3. Product from Commodity Group, should any product from a Commodity Group be present for the promotion to be valid?

4. Total Receipt Amount, should a receipt have to hit a certain amount for the promotion to be valid?

Discount

This step is asking what sort of discount should be applied.

1. Price Reduction, should the price of the product be reduced by a specific amount?
2. Discount, should the price of the product be reduced by a percent?
3. Fixed Price, should the product be sold at a fixed price?

Overview

This step gives us an overview of our promotion and allows us to choose three things:

1. How many times this promotion may be valid for.

2. Which items are discounted first(most expensive or cheapest).

3. If this promotion is exclusive or not. If it is, the discount level below will need to be set to the same level as other promotions that it is supposed to override.

Example

In this example we’re building a 2 for $20 promotion. The product is normally $35.00 but due to a recent influx we are trying to get this product out the door by offering them 2 for $20. The steps we took are as follows and shown on the screens to the right:

1. Total Product Quantity is 2.
2. The product is selected and we’re going to sell it at a fixed price therefor 2 pieces are required and 2 pieces will be discounted.
3. The price will be set fixed at 20, the two pieces together should retail for $20.
4. We make no changes to this screen as this promotion is applicable as many times as the customer purchases in this quantity.
5. If everything was done correctly it should now look like the last pic.
