If you have active promotions and you navigate to the Events page on the front end of your website, you will notice that above the Events search tool, there is a small area, that small images with links can be placed on, this is a 'Event Promotion' and should be used to periodically advertise some student events, you can place a number of them in there at any one time, the images must be square so as to retain their aspect ratio, and we recommend a size of 296px x 296px or larger.
By clicking on the box it will take the user directly to the page for the Event whom the promotion is set for.

==Manage Promotions==
{{url|/administrator/event_promotions}}
[[File:Events promotions manage.PNG|thumb|Manage Event Promotions Screen]]

Adding and managing promotions is easy, its the second option below the Events menu on the Dashboard, or you can go directly there by navigating to the URL above.<br/>

As with most sections of the Dashboard, this page presents you with a table of current and past Event Promotions, listed by; Name, Start Date, End Date, Status. These can all be used to Filter the table if you have a large number of entries and you're looking for a specific one, just click on the button {{Filter}} in the top right of the table.

Below that for each Promotion there are four more buttons; View{{View}}, Edit{{Edit}}, Delete{{Delete}}, and State, which appears in Red with a stop button, or green with a play button depending on a campaigns current state.
Most of the buttons do exactly what they say on the tin.
*View{{View}} Gives you an overview of a particular promotion, the dates, the details, and shows you the image used to advertise it
*Edit{{Edit}} Similar to above however it also gives you the opportunity to amend any details, who it's for, when it runs, what image is used.
*Delete{{Delete}} Presents a pop up asking if you are sure you want to delete a Promotion.
*State - Depending on it's current state appears as a Red Circle with a stop symbol in, which can temporarily suspend a promotion if you wish, or a Green circle with a Play symbol in, which can be used to activate one.

Finally, at the bottom, of the Manage Promotions screen there is an 'Add Event Promotion' button, which takes you to the screen described below.

==New Promotion==
