Adding Promotions to a Tenant
In this article, we will show you how to create promotions for your tenants.
The information below includes details on how to set up promotions, the sections have been divided for your convenience, if needed.
What are promotions?
Promotions refer to a set of activities, that communicate the product, brand or service to the customer / user.
The primary aim of having promotions is for the customer / user to buy the product or utilise the services of the seller over other competitors due to an added incentive of a generous discount or limited time only promotional prices on a product or service.
How do promotions relate to a tenant?
All tenants provide some form of service and / or sell a specific product for the customer / user to utilise.
Promotions are necessary for tenants to include in their business to attract and retain customers. When a tenant is created in PAM, you will be able to increase a tenant’s appeal by including promotions that are viewable and easily recognised by customers.
How to create promotions
RULES
A promotion belongs to 1 tenant only. If there are no tenants, you cannot have promotions.
If there a tenant is active in different locations, the same promotions will appear for each location.
If you only want certain promotions to appear in specific locations, you will need to create another tenant for that specific location.
Steps
1. In the PAM navigation menu, go to Dictionary > Tenants Directory

If no tenants are created, you FIRST need to create a tenant before PROCEEDING with the article.
