Guiding my customers to sale items

I have just set up a simple 10% sale (first time) on some pages - but now I want to guide my customers to those pages where there are sale items - how do I do this?

Did you use specials or SaleMaker?

... or Featured Products. (Catalog->Featured Products) This might be another way to go.

Good luck,

Re: Guiding my customers to sale items

So there isn't an easy way of just producing a link the the relevant products that are on sael? Bit like the way the new products are featured?

SaleMaker has the ability to put groups of products on Sale, for example a whole category or several categories, you could link to the categories you have put on sale.

Re: Guiding my customers to sale items

Carolyn, the specials might work more like what you're wanting - put it on special and it shows up in
the specials box. But as Kim said, you can always create some links on a page (say the front page, or perhaps a sidebox) to your sale items - it's just a two step process.

Good luck,
Scott

Re: Guiding my customers to sale items

Thank you for your replies. i was hoping for a quick one click solution! I have put the links to each of the categories on my home page now, but of course they have to keep going back there to find the next link.

I will look at how specials work, and have a search around on here for help.
