Promotions
The Sun regularly runs a holiday promotion, £9.50 Holidays, that is said to be the UK's most famous holiday offer - cheap family breaks from £9.50 per person that can be redeemed by collecting coupons printed in the newspaper. The holiday offer was first promoted in the current £9.50 format in 1998 and has since been running every year. It had previously been offered as £7.50 Holidays, dating back to 1991.
In 2001, an article in The Guardian questioned whether an eight page long spread in The Sun promoting £9.50 Holidays in Europe was the beginning of a more pro-Euro stance, as The Sun proceeded to publish a lead article criticising the Conservative Party and at the end of that week officially endorsed the Labour Party for the upcoming UK general election.

Famous quotes containing the word promotions:
“For a parent, it’s hard to recognize the significance of your work when you’re immersed in the mundane details. Few of us, as we run the bath water or spread the peanut butter on the bread, proclaim proudly, “I’m making my contribution to the future of the planet.” But with the exception of global hunger, few jobs in the world of paychecks and promotions compare in significance to the job of parent.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
