Draft Document for Review July 28, 2004 7:33 pm 6320ch_sum_of_changes.fm
2.6.11 Campaigns and Promotions
New changes have been implemented in WebSphere Commerce V5.6 for
campaigns and promotions. For example managing promotions where Blaze
Advisor is no longer necessary.
Promotions redesigned: The promotions system has been completely
redesigned. It now provides support for redemption limits and promotion
codes. Any promotion type may be distributed as a coupon. The promotions
system removes all dependency on the Blaze Advisor rule processing
system. While this redesign also removes all dependency on the Blaze
Advisor rule processing system, full backward compatibility is maintained for
those sites that have existing Blaze licenses.
Coupons: This feature enables you to offer electronic coupons to your
shoppers. Coupons can be collected by the shopper in a coupon wallet until
they either expire, or are redeemed with a qualifying purchase.
Rules based discount: Rule-based discounts support the following new
discount models:
– Order level shipping discount.
– Buy X of item A, give another A for free.
– Buy product or item A,orB,orC, and give D as a gift.
Ad Copy: This feature now supports additional commands as click actions.
The new actions include:
– Displaying an associated promotion.
– Adding an associated promotion to a customer's coupon wallet.
– Adding a particular product to a customer's shopping cart, and
automatically applying an associated promotion.
