Put on extended promotion (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

add

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'put on' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'extended promotion' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'promotion' could be 'ad' (short for advert) and 'ad' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'd' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for add that I've seen before include "Put together (numbers)" , "Say as a further remark" , "Sum up; say further" , "Give more" , "problem for hyperactive children" .)
