You would need to have categories in your database. Then you could add a category id and allow for the product id to be null or the category id to be null, so it supports both. Or, I would do it differently again. I'd have a table that has fields 1 and 3-9 in your list. Then I'd have a table joining offer id to product id and another table to join offer id to category id. This assumes the discount is a % off, if it's a hard value, then you need an entry per product no matter what, obviously.
