Promotion Type

Recipients

Explanation

Everyone

Promotion applies to everyone

This could be considered a general promotion that applies to all customers.

CardFile

Promotion applies to one or more card files

A customer-specific promotion. As this can be based on a start/end date, this is useful for pricing contracts and bids. A card file based promotion is also a useful and more flexible way to implement customer-specific pricing based on a pricing contract, rather than the traditional method of adding customer-specific pricing at a stock level.

The only limitation here is that the price calculation method is Fixed Price.

CardFile Group

Promotion applies to all card files in the selected Non Report or Region CardFile Groups

This type is useful in instances where it makes sense not to have to specify individual card files or price levels. For example, a buying group or franchise that you deal with, basing a promotion on a region, or even a promotion code.

Price Level

Promotion applies to all card files with the selected price level(s)

A price level promotion is useful when you want to create a promotion that is applicable to, say, retail customers only. Another use case is with MS/MPS customers where you want to pick up a price based on the project's price level.

Project

Promotion applies to one or more selected project(s).

Use project-type promotions where you want to supply specific stock to a project at a specific price. For example, under and MS/MPS project where you want to supply a toner at a specific price.
