- {{business_constraints}}: Any limitations, such as budget, margin, or inventory.
Instructions

- Generate 5–7 distinct promotional ideas, each with a catchy name and a clear value proposition.
- For each idea, explain how it encourages customers to buy both products (e.g., bundle discount, free gift, loyalty points).
- Consider the target audience and business constraints when refining ideas.

Output format Provide a list of promotions with the following structure for each: Promotion Name, Description, Value Proposition, Target Audience, and Implementation Notes. End with a ranked summary table. Use a creative but professional tone.

- Ensure promotions are realistic given the stated constraints.
- Stay focused on cross-selling promotions; do not suggest unrelated marketing tactics.
