Promotion howto (double disk/traffic)

[cjraven1222]

Hi all,

I see several ways of doing this, but I wonder if anyone can advise me as to the best way.

 

A special "grand opening" promotion:

 

Normal package would be (let's say) 250MB Disk Space + 25GB/mo traffic

For the grand opening: double disc space, double data traffic.

To ensure that it conforms to a date range, I'd like to make it a coupon code. (Plus coupon codes have previously always been popular in this region - for some unknown reason)

 

Would it be better to create:

i) a special product? (then delete it later)

ii) via configurable options? - but seems clumsy somehow

iii) via addons which are discounted to zero for [x] period of time?

 

Opinions from those familiar with WHMCS would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards & TIA

A specific package/product, which you can then "hide" and set stock to 0 so it's cant be ordered afterwards IME is the best way to do this

Rob,

Great suggestion! You're right - that would indeed solve the problem.

 

Just thinking/wondering out loud...wonder what I could do with the coupon code issue (these folks love coupon codes). Maybe do a promotion, but without a discount? Dunno...more of a rhetorical question than anything else, I suppose. One thing seems certain, I can play with this without breaking anything.

 

Many thanks!

Double the price and give 50% recurring off
