Explanation:
I've worked in sales before and think either "special offer" or "promotion" would do just fine.
Good luck!

I seem to remember a very similar question recently, perhaps in another language, and I suggested something like "exclusive preview offer". You need to make the customer feel they're being given a special privilege.

campaign
Explanation:
You haven't given enough context to be sure about 'sales promotion' (which it could well be!) - campaign is general enough to cover other circumstances.

I don't think a company would use this term when talking to a customer. It's a term used by industry professionals.

Why did the menu change?
The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
More information on the changes...
Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu?
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
I cannot find something
If you are having trouble finding something with the new menu, please
