Before creating a promotion, you must create a promotional plan set with which to associate that promotion.
Create a Promotion
Overview
A promotion allows you to provide your customers with access to reduced-rate plans and/or access to specific channel-based plans. Your customers can then enter a promotion code when subscribing to new plans or you can provide a promotion code programmatically in your Account Registration application.
Note: A promotion has a start date, an expiration date, and/or a maximum number of uses.
