Title: Re: [phoenix-epic-dev] EPIC EclipseCon Promotion

Good start! I think we'd be interested in exploring this further. A couple of suggestions...

- Don't use the word "sale", our products never go "on sale" and we don't want to train our customers to think that they do. Use a word like "Promotion" or "Special EclipseCon Price"...I know this might sound nitpicky, but, hey, its marketing! ;-)

- Make sure that if a provider has several products they can only list one or two or whatever, but not necessarily all, of those they have on EPIC. For example, we might want to do a WindowBuilder promotion, but not do one for CodePro.
