Promotions & campaigns

See who a discount, a bundle or a campaign really brings in, and what it costs you in sales you'd have made anyway.

Questions Avir answers

  1. 01Does a sale bring in new customers, or just discount the ones we have?
  2. 02Which customers should get the offer, and which shouldn't?
  3. 03What does a campaign add over the next six months, not just the next week?

The situation

An online store planned 20% off everything for a week.

Assumed

A big sale brings in new customers and a strong month.

Simulated

Most orders came from regulars who would have bought a week later at full price. Margin fell faster than sales rose.

What it points to

Run it for lapsed customers only.

An illustrative example. Your simulations run on your own customers.
