Control your pricing options – Set a percentage-based price drop across all your items or manually adjust the price of your items by marketplace.

Promotion campaign

A promotion campaign is a collection of promotion activities, which we sometimes call a 'Promotion'. Each promotion campaign is scheduled to have a start date and an end date. When the start date of the campaign is reached, the promotional offer is activated. Each campaign may consist of multiple apps or multiple in-app items.

Promotion activity

A promotion activity is related to one particular ASIN and one particular marketplace. While scheduling a promotion campaign, if a promotion is targeted towards multiple marketplaces, a different activity is created for each app in each marketplace.

Campaign types

The Promotions Console supports price drop campaigns and retention offer campaigns. Price drop campaigns can target consumable and entitlement in-app items, or the price of your app. For details on how to set up a price drop campaign, see Price Drops. A retention offer can be set up for in-app subscriptions only. For details on retention offers, see Retention Offers.
