special discount

My comment:

I think Bertrand is pretty close, but the bottom line is just a simple plain English 'discount', emphasized 'special discount'.
Promotion usually refers to people, not things...

My references:

I work as in-house translator for one of the largest Belgian/French/Dutch food distribution and supermarket chains

based on the context you provide. If the context is actually more general, I'd use "promotional activities"
