Introduction

When used correctly, promotions encourage visitors to buy from your site, visit repeatedly, and encourage shoppers to purchase more per visit.

 

Some of these promotions are visible as shoppers browse through the site (Global Discounts).  Others won’t be visible until they reach the shopping cart page (Price Promotions).  Other promotions are only available to shoppers who know about them ahead of time (Coupon Promotions).
