Promotions

You can find this section under Promotions > Promotions in the IRP Admin left navigation menu.

The IRP Promotions Engine is a world-class promotions system containing all the necessary features to maximise your sales using promotional offers, discounts and vouchers, for example, ‘Buy 3 for 2’, ‘Buy one, get one free’ and so forth. You can create a promotion that examines basket requirement rules to determine if Free Shipping is available for items. You can to do this by brand or category only. You can configure promotions in multiple ways, including by shipping country and by the contents of a customer’s basket.

The main Promotions.aspx page is where you use the innovative IRP Promotions Engine to configure rule-based promotions as incentives for your visitors and customers. The feature is very easy to use — the promotions Engine has the potential to be a great revenue generator for your business.

Promotions.aspx page

The main promotions page under Promotions > Promotions (Promotions.aspx) appears as follows:

  • Order: This is the order in which the promotion will be executed on the customer’s basket. If multiple product promotions are available on a particular customer’s basket, only products that have not been used as part of another promotion can be used in further promotions. You can change the order by typing directly in the box. If you make a change, click the Update All Promotions button.
  • Admin Name: This name is used specifically to identify the promotion in IRP Admin. If no Admin Name has been added, it will be automatically set to the English front end Name/Title.
  • Currency: Should this Promotion Type require a Currency to be set against it, this is the Currency that any Promotional Price or Discount Amount will be in. Note that this value also will also filter down to Basket Restrictions if any exist.
  • Type: This is the type of promotion as described in the Promotion Types section below.
  • Details: This shows details such as the number of models and stock items offered as part of the promotion.
  • Start Date: The date and time that the promotion will, or did, start at.

  • Preview: Click the desktop monitor icon in this column to view the promotion on your desktop site. Click the mobile icon to view the promotion on your mobile site.

You can see the following buttons along the top of the page:

  • View Promotions On Website: Click this button to see the CurrentPromotions.aspx page on the front end of the website. This is where your customers can see all the promotions in one place. When customers go from here to view the product listings, they can choose to view in-stock only items, in which case only Promotional Products that have a positive Website Stock Level or have been set to 'Stock Held Externally' will appear in the Product List.
    Note on Promotional Pricing In Listings: all listings throughout Desktop and Mobile sites will display the Promotional Price for products that are part of current active Promotions as long as they have no Basket Conditions and also that the setting 'Apply Only When Customer Has Items In Their Basket' is not enabled in the Promotion. If a Promotion does have Basket Conditions, the products will not display as being part of a Promotion within the listings. (Note also that EPOS Promotional Price displays are not included.) For example, if a 'Get Product at 10% Discount' Promotion was set up with no Basket Restrictions and with the Product Restriction Rule that the Brand called 'Wychwood' was included, the front end brand page for Wychwood would appear as follows:
    Promotion Listings
    You can clearly see the promotional prices, the RRPs and the saving text. If you were to click in to one of the models, the promotional price would also be shown on the model page:

Promotion Types

There are several types of promotion available:

  1. Buy [‘x’ number of products] & Get [‘y’ number of products] for a Fixed Amount Off
    For example, ‘Buy 2 get 1 for £5 off’.
  2. Buy [‘x’ number of products] & Get [‘y’ number of products] for a Percentage Discount
    For example, ‘Buy 1 get 1 half price’.
  3. Buy [‘x’ number of products] & Get [‘y’ number of products] for a Set Price
    For example, ‘Buy 1 get 1 Free’, ‘Buy 4 get for the price of 3’, ‘Buy 2 get 1 for £50’.
  4. Buy [‘x’ number of products] Get them for a promotional price
    You can opt to include the following types of promotional price:
    • Money Off Each: This takes a set amount of money off each of the ‘X’ qualifying products. For example: Buy 2 products, get £5 off each of them.
    • Set Percentage (%) Off Each: This takes a set percentage off each of the ‘X’ qualifying products. For example: Buy 4 products, get 10% off each of them.
    • Each for a Set Price: This means that each of the ‘X’ qualifying products are given a set price. For example: Buy 3 products, get them for £3 each.
    • Set Combined Total for ‘X’: This means that the combined total of the ‘X’ qualifying products is equal to the set value. For example: Buy 3 for £10.
  5. Free Gift With Purchase
    For example, ‘Get a free book with this product today’.
    Notes:
    1. This Promotion Type restricts the Customer to one Free Gift per order . You cannot use this Promotion Type to offer multiple Free Gifts with an order. If you want to do this, you should instead use the ‘Get Product At Set Price’ Promotion Type and set the price to zero.
    2. Free Gifts are removed if there is nothing else in the customer's basket. You can add a restriction rule that the Basket Sub Total must be, for example, at least £0.01.
  6. Free Shipping
    For example, ‘Free shipping for this product today’
  7. Get Fixed Amount Of Loyalty Points At Basket Sub Total – This promotion functions similarly to auto-discount promotions where the promotion can be configured with a minimum basket sub total to allow qualifying baskets to reward a fixed amount of additional loyalty points on purchase as bonus points.
  8. Get Fixed Amount Of Loyalty Points For Products – This promotion functions similarly to basket promotions where the promotion can be configured with basket and product-restriction rules to allow qualifying baskets containing specific products to have those products reward a fixed amount of loyalty points on purchase. If the applicable product would reward a higher amount of points than the promotional value, the default reward points will be rewarded instead.
  9. Get Multiple Of Loyalty Points At Basket Sub Total – This promotion functions similarly to auto-discount promotions where the promotion can be configured with a minimum basket sub total to allow qualifying baskets to reward a multiple of the final total reward points which would normally be rewarded for the basket as bonus points. For example, a basket that complied with a designated minimum basket sub total of a configured promotion with a multiplier of 2.5, which consisted of products that resulted in a final total of 300 points to be rewarded, would reward an additional 450 points as bonus points. This would result in a grand total of 700 points being rewarded.
  10. Get Multiple Of Loyalty Points For Products – This promotion functions similarly to basket promotions where the promotion can be configured with basket and product-restriction rules to allow qualifying baskets containing specific products to have those products reward a multiple of the loyalty points they normally would on purchase. For example, a qualifying product that would normally reward 100 points with a promotional multiplier of 2.5 would instead reward 250 points on purchase.
  11. Get Product At Fixed Discount
    For example, ‘Get £10 off this product today’
  12. Get Product At Percentage Discount
    For example, ‘Get 10% off this product today’
  13. Get Product At Set Loyalty Point Cost – This promotion functions similarly to basket promotions where the promotion can be configured with basket and product-restriction rules to allow qualifying baskets containing specific products to have those products be purchasable for a set promotional loyalty point cost. If the applicable product would cost less points than the promotional value by default, the item will instead be purchasable for the default redemption points amount.
  14. Get Product At Set Price
    For example, ‘Get this product today for £10’
  15. Money Off Basket Sub Total
    For example, ‘£5 off all orders with no minimum spend required’
  16. Money Off Total Above Minimum Spend
    For example, ‘£10 off all orders over £50’
  17. Percentage Off Basket Sub Total
    For example, ‘10% off all orders with no minimum spend required’
  18. Percentage Off Total Above Minimum Spend
    For example, ‘10% off all orders over £50’

You can use the following Application Settings for Promotions (these are located in the 'Promotions And Vouchers' grouping):

  • Auto Generated Voucher Code Length: The default length of auto-generated voucher codes.

  • Promotion Popup Width: The width, in pixels, of the promotion popup lightbox (generated when only one model is offered as part of the promotion).
  • Promotions Add Invalid Basket Items As Standard Items: If this setting is set to true, any promotional items in a customer's basket will be added as standard items at their non-promotional price when the promotion becomes invalid. If this setting is set to false, any promotional items in a customer's basket will simply be removed when the promotion becomes invalid. Note: a promotion can become invalid for various reasons:
    - The product is no longer being offered as part of the promotion.

    - The date range has been exceeded.
    - The basket requirements are no longer met.
