Promo singles are usually just to cash-in on the hype in the run up to an album's release, by releasing a single track early for fans to download. They usually don't get marketing budget or any radio support, though some get cheap videos made for them, and sometimes do end up becoming singles.
For example, David Guetta's Titanium was a promo single, but the sales were so huge, it charted better than the actual singles in some countries. So it has been promoted to an actual single, and has had a video made for it too.
