Intro

2. Promotion Page

Once you click on Promotions, you will arrive at the Promotions landing page. On this page, you will notice there are three kinds of promotions you can create and run with Outfy - Standard Promotion, Generic Promotion, and PromoQ.

Promotion page

You will also see the list of promotions you have created and are running currently. In addition to creating new promotions, you can edit and delete your ongoing promotions on this page.

We will now explain each kind of promotion in detail. Let's get into Standard Promotion first.

3. Standard Promotion

This is the section for two things that you can do with promoting a particular line of products from your store.

Standard promotion

One, you will view your existing Standard promotions by clicking on the "My Promotions" button.

Note: If you edit an existing Standard promotion, do not forget to save it.

Two, create a new product promotion. There are different kinds of promotions you can run. On this page, you choose the kind of promotion you want. For example, Good Friday or Winter Sale or Spring, and the like. You have multiple options.

Add products

On this page you add products you wish to use in your Standard promotion.

Add products

Note: You can add a maximum of three products for each standard promotion. The default image of each product chosen is used to create the promotion with.

Edit promotion

This is the page where you edit your promotion.

For example, Scale the image - by stretching the corners. Rotate - by the vertical rope of every image. Adjust opacity, change shape, border color/width etc.

Edit Promotion

You can also do things with the text - like inline editing, change color font type, font size, alignment, etc.

Edit Promotion

Once you set your promotion, you may or may not choose to add your store logo to it. It's up to you. The screencap shows you how to add, scale, show, etc.

Create Promotion

After the logo section, you save and continue and land on this page, where you add some intro text for your promotion (including hashtags), choose the social media network or networks you want to run the promotion on, and how often.

Note: You have to write the text and set schedules for each network you want to run the promotion on.

Your promotion is ready now. Once you write the intro text and set schedules, click on “Create Promotion”. It will then appear on your promotions page as one of the running promotions.
