You might want to boost your sales via seasonal marketing by adding a discount code to a specific event or a group of occurrences running over a certain time period.

For example, you might offer 20% off in September as a "back to school" deal, or have a Valentine's Day promo only valid on the 14th of February.


How to assign discount codes to specific dates

  • Create a discount code as usual, from the Promote section of your box office.

  • When creating your discount code, you'll see some new options in the Validity section to adjust the date for the code to be used:

  • Only valid for events starting after a certain date

  • Only valid for events starting before a certain date

Screenshot showing the 'Only valid for events starting after a certain date' and 'Only valid for events starting before a certain date' checkboxes, which are shown under the 'Validity' section when creating a discount code (if you have this enabled on your Ticket Tailor account). The checkboxes are highlighted and there's an arrow pointing to them for clarity.
  • Your promo code usage date (or date range) should fall in the middle of the two dates you enter in these fields. Note that if you set a 'valid for events starting after' date, the discount won't be available for events on that date itself – it'll only work for events starting the day after. Some examples:

    • For a Valentine's Day promo, you'd put 13th February in the first field, and 15th February in the second field.

    • For a 20% off in September deal, you'd put 31st August in the first field, and 1st of October in the second field.
