💡 How Much Should You Really Discount to Grow Revenue?

Promotions can spark instant sales—but if you're not careful, they can also eat your margins alive. For growing brands, understanding the promotional lifecycle is just as important as picking the right subject line.

Here’s how smart brands are approaching discounting in 2025:

1️⃣ Discounts Need a Strategy: When you’re just getting started, throwing out discount codes feels like a win. But over time, that approach drains profitability. If your margins are 20% and you’re giving 20% off regularly, you’re just breaking even. Not sustainable.

2️⃣ Track Buyer Segments by Behavior: To assess discount impact, build two key segments: – Customers who purchased in the last 30 days – Customers who used discounts of 11% or more (excluding standard 10% welcome offers)

Now compare: How often do full-price buyers return vs. discount-seekers?

3️⃣ Monitor Trends Over Time: Check in monthly, quarterly, and yearly. If your discounted customers are growing faster than full-price ones—but revenue isn’t rising accordingly—your margins are shrinking. Worse? You may be training buyers to wait for deals.

4️⃣ Retention Red Flags: Long-term customers should become less reliant on promos. If they’re still only converting with discounts, you’ve got a retention problem—not a pricing one.

The Takeaway

Discounts aren’t the enemy. But flying blind with no system? That is. The best brands use email performance as a signal, not a shortcut—watching who buys, how often, and at what price. Build a data-backed promo strategy, and you’ll boost revenue without sacrificing long-term growth.
