Promotions are one of the primary drivers to build a customer base, boost store traffic and increase customers' loyalty in the e-commerce business.
However, launching a promotion is only halfway to success. You can come up with a great promotion campaign, but the execution is what matters the most.
It's vital to make sure that as many customers as possible are aware of your promotion campaign. That's why Online store offers several solutions to promote your sales promotions.

- Category description
- Promote directly on your website
- Send newsletters to your customers
- Add notices on checkout pages

The first way to inform your customers is to add a message to your store front page description.
Go to the Control Panel → Catalog → Category → Store Front Page→ General
You can add a text, an image, or even a video to the Store Front Page description — it's totally up to you.
This is an easy and yet very effective way to inform your customers on an ongoing promotion.
Category description
If you run a promotion for a particular category of products, then it makes sense to add promotion information to participating category descriptions.

When your customers open a category your run a promotion for, the promo information is the first thing they'll see.
Promote directly on your website

Send newsletters to your customers
