French term or phrase: gamme hiver

Here is the sentence:

"Je compte faire une promo sur la gamme hiver !"

My solution: "I'm planning on doing a promo on the winter line!"

Does this work?

Daniel Weston
United States

winter line

Explanation:
I used to work in retail, have studied "business French", and I am fluent in French. Based on this context, it appears that "winter line" would be the correct translation of "gamme hiver".

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

agree

Colin Morley: Yes - though it depends what the product is. If fashion then "collection" is good and if just a single type of goods then "line". My preference overall is with range

1 hr

-> Thanks Colin. I agree that either line or range could be appropriate, but if collection were the right word, surely they would have used it in French: la collection hiver.

agree

cmwilliams: yes, I prefer 'range' to 'line'.

neutral

crista_b: I've heard "line" way more commonly used than "range", but both are acceptable

disagree

cc in nyc: Not at all familiar with this use of "range." Even though I shop more than I herd, it reminds me of "Home on the range." See http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&rls=en&...
