# Promotion Schedules in B2C Commerce

Schedule campaigns, A/B tests, promotions, and content slots in B2C Commerce. A scheduled experience (promotion or content slot) has to coincide with a container (campaign or A/B test), or it can't run.

Salesforce B2C Commerce considers the scheduled start and end times of the containing campaign or A/B test when computing the maximum cache time.

Campaigns and A/B tests have optional start and end dates and times. If a start date isn't set, the container is effective immediately. If an end date isn't set, it runs continuously.

Promotions and content slots also have start and end dates and times within the experience time frame, known as the effective period. If these dates aren't set, the experience inherits the schedule from the container. An experience can't start before its container or end after. Schedule an experience to run at specific times of the day or on specific days of the week.

For example, your promotion runs on every Monday in the summer. You can also select multiple days for a recurring weekend-only sale on Saturdays and Sundays. You can use time of day to configure a lunchtime promotion that runs from 12–1 PM daily. You can also combine multiple-day and time-of-day promotions. For example, run a weekday lunchtime special."

Note Promotion schedule dates and times are based on the site timezone. For example, if you set a time of 3 PM, your promotion triggers at 3 PM in the timezone of the site.
