PRODUCT PROMOTIONS

Bring supplier offers together with a
Product Promotions Portal.

Collect supplier offers, coordinate reviews and prepare approved promotion information for your next campaign. Give suppliers, category managers and marketing teams a shared place to work.

THE CHALLENGE

Too many offers. Too many versions.

A promotion can involve supplier submissions, negotiated prices, product details, images, dates and different requirements across stores or members. When this information lives in emails and spreadsheets, it becomes harder to see what has changed and what is ready to use.

Scattered submissions

Offers arrive in different formats, leaving your team to collect and reorganise the details.

Unclear approval status

Teams spend time checking whether an offer is still being negotiated or has been confirmed.

Repeated updates

A price or product change needs to be carried through to several documents and campaign materials.

Different local requirements

Members or stores may need their own product selections, prices or promotional outputs.

A CONNECTED WORKFLOW

From supplier submission to approved promotion information.

We design the portal around how your team collects, reviews and uses promotional information. The exact stages, permissions and outputs depend on your process.

1. Collect

Bring supplier offers and the required product details into a structured submission process.

2. Review

Give the responsible team a clear place to check information and resolve outstanding details.

3. Confirm

Record the agreed offer details and make its status visible to the people involved.

4. Plan

Organise confirmed offers by promotion period so teams can prepare upcoming campaigns.

5. Prepare outputs

Make approved information available for agreed print, email or digital production workflows.

BUILT AROUND YOUR PROCESS

Connect the details behind every promotion.

A portal can bring together the information and tasks your team needs. We agree the required features and connections before implementation.

Supplier submissions

Provide a defined way for suppliers to submit offers and supporting product information, with access suited to their role.

Offer and pricing information

Structure the prices, discount details and promotional terms your business needs to review and confirm.

Promotion planning

Organise offers around campaign periods and give teams visibility of upcoming activity and outstanding work.

Product information and assets

Connect offers with the relevant product details, images and documents needed to prepare campaign materials.

Member and store variations

Support different product selections, pricing or outputs where a buying group or network needs local variations.

Publishing and system connections

Connect approved information to agreed publishing workflows or business systems, based on the requirements and interfaces available.

WORKING WITH STIMULUS

Built around your promotions process.

We begin by mapping your suppliers, offer information, review stages and campaign outputs. From there, we define the portal, data structures, access and connections needed to support your team. We can help with implementation, testing, training and ongoing development as your process evolves.

Our promotion project experience includes custom development with Pimcore. We assess the platform and integration requirements for each project rather than assuming every portal needs the same setup.
