The Customers|Add Offers Page
The Customers|Add Offers page allows you to add offers to a collection of selected customers en masse, providing them with an offer that can contain bundles, performances, gifts and miscellaneous items. Once a customer query has been performed from the Customers|Query Select page, the resultant list of customers are able to have an offer sent to them, available for acceptance either through the desktop application or through web sales.
The number of results from the query are displayed in the Search Results display box. This is the number of customers that will receive the offer.
In the Create Offers With group box, you can detail the name of the offer, the start and end dates for which the offer will be valid, and if necessary, the promotion code that must be used to access the offer.
The Seat Parameters group box allows you to select the specific performance or bundle you want to offer to the customers from the result of the query. You can select one or more performances, or one or more bundles, but not a combination of both performances and bundles. Only a list of performances or a list of bundles can be offered at once. You can determine the price type for the offer by using the 'Add Price Type' button. You can also make the selection of seats for the offer more specific by using the 'same seat' option, selecting a desired price zone from the 'Price Zone' multi-select box and also selecting a desired hold type to select seats from a particular hold type by selecting it from the 'Hold Type' dropdown in the Seat Option group box.
You can also attach gifts and miscellaneous items to the offer by adding them using the selection tools found in the Gift Parameters and Miscellaneous Item Parameters group boxes respectively.
Once all the offer parameters have been selected, you can create the offers for all of the retrieved customers from the query or a smaller set of manually-selected customers from the result set.
