Promotions are one of the most versatile features of ResDiary and there are lots of uses for them. 

Promotions are commonly used to promote a special offer, offer a specific menu, take payment for certain types of booking, or to add specific rules to these. 

Create a basic promotion: 

Note: 

Advertisement Period is the date range that you would like the promotion to display online. 

So if a promotion should show online from today, the advertisement period should be today, even if the date you can book for is not till a future date.

Advertisement = date range the promotion is online

Validity = date of the event, or date you can book for the promotion

eg. Valentine's day

Advertisement = today to 14th Feb

Validity = 14th to 14th Feb

Advanced Promotions: use the links to access specific articles

Add limitations to promotions:

• Total Covers and/or Covers per promotion
• Areas 
• Dates, days, and times 
• Price
• Duration 
  

Secure the promotion:

• Add a deposit to your promotion
• Make card details required

Advertise the promotion on different channels:

• Use Promotions to restrict to certain channels and create different availability depending on the channel
• Create a promotion-specific booking widget for social media posts / marketing emails
