Short advertisement or teaser
A short ad, usually a video or audio clip, that tries to make people interested in a product, event, TV show, movie, or other thing.

a promo for [something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse 'promo' with 'promotion' in the sense of getting a higher position at work (job promotion). In this sense, 'promo' is about advertising something, not about a career change.

|
sale (Focuses on lowered prices; does not always include the broader marketing activity around the offer.)
