English translation: special offer

Dutch term or phrase: action
The term 'action' appears on the list of expressions of an e-commerce site. I have only the list, no context.

The expressions where 'action' appears are "Action discount on order" and "Total action discount"

The texts have apparently originally been in Dutch.

When you think about what the original Dutch expression might had been, do you think that 'campaign' were the word that better suits for 'action' here?

I don't know Dutch at all. I am translating the text from English to Finnish. So please give your answer explanation in English.

Thanks a lot. I think 'special offer discount' and 'campaign discount' are almost the same. When I googled 'campaign discount' the hits were predominantly in Finnish sites. So it seems mainly to be our beloved way to say it, which I wasn't aware.
