Promotion is a business tool to influence customers towards buying the products and/or services. This tool might be Advertising or other forms of it like Direct Selling etc. The word Promotion is also used specifically to refer to a particular offer given by the retailer to the customer for a specific time on specific products to boost sales.

Discounts v/s Promotions
The major difference between the Discounts and Sales Promotions is that in case of discount you will need to provide it manually on the bill or maybe on the item; whereas, in case of sales promotion, it is automatically considered while saving the bill when the item is existing in the promotion. In GINESYS, the Sales Promotion is decided by the Head-Office and is flown from there to the stores, no changes can be made, whereas in case of Discounts, although it flows from Head-Office, discount can be provided on the need basis.
