What does PROMO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An informal short form of promotion, referring to an advertisement, trailer, or item used to publicize something.
A promo is meant to grab attention quickly, whether it is a short video trailer for a film, a free sample handed out in a store, or a discounted price meant to draw in new customers. Television networks run promos between programs to advertise upcoming shows, while stores use the word for temporary sales or giveaways. Because it is informal, promo appears far more often in marketing talk and casual conversation than in formal writing.
