I have a news system that creates news posts, and I’m considering whether it makes sense to mark up the results with the Event type from Schema.org.

The problem is, some of the news posts are about physical events, and some are about online, non-physical, discounts of certain brands/groups of shoes sold on the website.

Does it make sense to mark up an online-only, limited-time (e.g., a week) sale with the Event schema? Has anyone seen that in use and being utilized anywhere? Or perhaps there’s another different type that would be more appropriate for that?

Yes it makes sense. There is even a specific event type for you, the saleEvent. A sale will use many of the fields of the event schema.


startDate
endDate
duration
name (like "Macy's Presidents' Day Sale")
description
image (website logo maybe?)
url


You won't be able to put in the location in the case of online-only sales. Or fields like performers. Those are not required fields, so it shouldn't be a problem.
