Promotions

You can create a promotion with your own list of items and prices for a specific date range, or you can select a vendor promotion. When a promotional item is entered into Ring Sale, the system compares the promotional price to other applicable discounts and pricing schedules to determine the best price for the customer.

Upon clicking Promotions, the Promotion Maintenance screen opens to the List tab.

For details on each field on this tab, see Creating a New Promotion.

The Details tab includes a promotion cost summary and available reports.

Cost Summary

This displays the material costs and shipping costs for the number of pieces included in the promotion. The Total Cost and Per Piece Cost are calculated for reference.
