# Setting a Special Price for Products in Magento 1.6

In Magento 1.6, you can specify a “special” price for products for a certain date range. This allows you to automatically manage “specials” or sales. Setting up a special price for a product is done in the Magento 1.6 Admin Backend.

1. [Log into your Magento Admin Panel](/support/edu/magento/how-to-log-into-magento-admin-panel/)
2. Go to **Catalog ->> Manage Products**. ![magento_add_product_1](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/magento_magento_add_product_1-1024x503.jpg)
