Identifying Discounts That Drive Profitable Growth
Not all discount-driven revenue is profitable growth. The key distinction is between incremental revenue (new orders you wouldn't have gotten) and substitution revenue (orders from customers who would have purchased at full price anyway).
Profitability Indicators by Campaign
| Signal | Profitable | Problematic |
|---|---|---|
| Who gets discounts? | Walk-away customers only | All visitors including loyal buyers |
| Repeat purchase rate | Discount customers buy again at full price | Customers only buy when discounted |
| Average discount % | Below product margin threshold | Exceeds or approaches margin |
| Customer tag pattern | First-time buyer conversions | Loyal customers redeeming repeatedly |
Growth Suite's Margin Protection
Growth Suite's Purchase Intent Prediction identifies dedicated buyers and excludes them from offers - protecting your highest-margin customers from unnecessary discounting. This is the core mechanism that makes Growth Suite campaigns profitable by design.
Run a 30-day cohort analysis: compare the 90-day LTV of customers acquired via Growth Suite discount offers vs. full-price customers. If discount-acquired customers show similar or higher LTV at full-price, the campaign is driving genuinely profitable growth.
