# Creating Gift Card Promotions

Gift card promotions allow you to sell **discounted gift cards** [in person](/learn/selling-gift-cards-in-person/) and [online](/learn/how-to-sell-digital-gift-cards-online/). For example, you can create a custom Black Friday promotion to sell a $250 gift card for $200.

To create a gift card promotion, open the **Gift Cards** app and select **Settings**.

Select the **Promotions** tab and select **Add a promotion**.

Enter the details of the gift card promotion.

- **Display name:** Enter a name for the promotion that the purchasing client will see when buying the promotion online. The **Display name** will also be included on the receipt for the purchasing client and in the email sent to the gift card recipient.

- **Description:** Enter a description for the promotion that the gift card recipient will see under the promotion’s **Display name** in their email notification. You can include details such as the gift card value, redemption and expiration dates, eligible services, etc.

- **Gift card value:** Enter the value of the gift card.

- **Sale price:** Enter the amount the purchasing client must pay to buy the gift card.

- **Start date:** Enter the date when the promotion will become available for clients to purchase. For example, you can create a Black Friday promotion ahead of time by setting up the promotion at the beginning of November and setting the **Start date** to Black Friday. On Black Friday, the system will automatically make the promotion available for clients to purchase.

- **End date:** Enter the date when the promotion will no longer be available for clients to purchase. If you enter an **End date**, the system will automatically remove the promotion from your website and online booking on that date. You can also leave the **End date** blank if the promotion should always be available.

**Note: **

You can reuse gift card promotions by updating the **Start date** and **End date**. For example, if you run the same Black Friday promotion every year, you can reuse the same promotion in Mangomint by updating the **Start date** and **End date** every year.

When you are done entering the promotion details, select **Save**.

Depending on the **Start date** and **End date** you specified, the promotion will be available for clients to purchase. Clients can select the **Buy a gift card** button in online booking to view all available gift card promotions.
