Important examples of promotional in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, promotional is often used to describe materials or events related to marketing.

▪The company launched a promotional campaign.
▪The company started an advertising plan.

Example of a confusing word: emotional (related to feelings)

▪The company launched an emotional campaign.
▪The company started a campaign full of feelings.
"Promotional" is an adjective used to describe activities or materials intended to advertise or market a product or service. In the sentence "The company launched a promotional campaign," it correctly describes a campaign aimed at promoting something. "Emotional," however, pertains to feelings or emotions and does not fit the context of marketing or advertising. Using "emotional" in this context is grammatically correct but changes the meaning entirely, making it unsuitable for describing marketing efforts. Thus, "promotional" is the appropriate choice here.
