Default creating a sale

Ok I know how to start a sale using zencart but is there a simple way of allowing my customers to view all sale items in one go? At the moment they just have to stumble across them.I could create a sale category and copy them all there but that is very time consuming to say the least.There must be a much easier way to do this surely?

You can use Salemaker or Specials..
Search zencart forums for Salemaker.
Specials can be shown
in categories box and centre box on your main page if you want to give your sale items
biggest exposure on your site..so I would opt for specials
HTH

If you don't want to add centre specials box, how about
trying scrolling specials sidebox?
Demo (6th box down on right)at

I like the specials box! I like the idea of it scrolling. would this have any negative effects on the running of the site and is it fairly straightforward to do?

Should not affect site running at all..
Very easy to install...one file that replaces existing
specials box..I always keep original file copies, so
backup existing file first(download to home 'puter)
