Promotions

Promotions are small blocks of content that can link through to other parts of this site. Examples include:

• A banner image shown on at the top of the homepage that links through to a new offer page
• A “pod” image shown in the right-hand sidebar of a page, linking through to newly merchandised page.
• A biography of an author (featuring an image and a block of HTML) shown at the top of the search results page when the search query includes the author’s surname.

These are modeled using a base promotion model, which contains image fields, the link destination, and two “linking” models which link promotions to either a page URL or a particular keyword.
