You can indicate the price on the product, on a strikethrough price tag … Please note, in this case, the promotion cannot be renewed indefinitely because after a certain time the promotional price becomes the normal price.

But be careful, the sale in batches the store must have the 2 products separately from the batch or allow the separation of the batch and display the price of the products sold individually.
