Set up the discounts to promote online. You can set up simple discounts, quantity discounts, or mix-and-match discounts. |
|
Configure a bar code for the discounts. This bar code is used to generate the discount code for the discounts. If you do not require the customer to present a coupon or discount code for the discount, you can skip this step. |
|
On the Sites Services website, create a template for the discounts. Create one template for each media on which you want to publish the discounts. |
See Help on the Sites Services website. |
Create a marketing campaign for the discounts to promote on Facebook or Twitter. |
|
Add the discounts and the media type for Facebook or Twitter to the campaign. |
|
Preview and publish the discounts on the promotion web page. |
|
Publicize the discounts to your customers. |
For example, you can publish an announcement for the discounts or send customers an email message that contains a link to the promotion web page. |
