Your promotions tab in the Gmail client may soon become a much more interesting place. Presently it functions as a glorified spam folder, but that might soon change. While it‘s not really spam, most emails that hit that folder are probably ignored, according to data from Google.

Google is experimenting with a feature that would show your promotional emails as cards with large images depicting what they are for. Below the picture would be details about the deal.
It reminds us of Pinterest, to be honest. Google is currently running an open beta, so if you are interested in checking it out and giving it a try, head over to their blog post in the link below.
