| Week day availability | This part of the configuration allows you to run promotions within the start and end date parameters defined above but that are effective only during a specific time frame on specific days of the week; perhaps to increase sales volume during an otherwise slow sales period. An active day with zero start and end times denotes a promotion that is effective for the entire day. |
| Priority | To configure promotions in a particular order of priority. The priority setting allows certain promotions to take precedence over others that share many of the same items. Priority of promotions is particularly useful when programs give discounts as more items are added in combination. For example:
Without the ability to set priority, promo 2 and 3 will never be realized, as the soda and chips will always form Promo1. Default setting is medium. Any promotion that does not specifically identify the priority will be assumed “medium” by the system. |
