Can I set minimum margin thresholds for discounts?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm constantly worried about maintaining profitability while running promotions. I need a way to ensure that my discount strategies don't erode my profit margins. How can I set up minimum margin thresholds that prevent me from selling products at a loss or reducing my profits below a sustainable level? I want a systematic approach to discount management that protects my bottom line while still attracting customers with compelling offers.

Cohort Analysis for Discount Campaigns

Cohort analysis groups customers by when they were acquired and tracks their behavior over time. For discount campaigns, it answers the most important question: are these customers building long-term value or one-time buyers?

Key Cohort Questions

  • 30-day repeat rate: Did discount customers buy again within the first month? (Indicator of product-market fit)
  • 90-day AOV trend: Are subsequent purchases at full price, similar AOV? (Indicator of price sensitivity)
  • 180-day cumulative LTV: Does cumulative revenue exceed CAC by 2x+? (Indicator of program profitability)
  • Discount redemption frequency: Are these customers waiting for discounts before each purchase? (Indicator of discount dependency)

Building the Cohort in Shopify

  1. Tag all first-purchase discount customers via Shopify Flow: "gs-cohort-[month-year]"
  2. Export customer order history filtered by tag from Shopify Admin
  3. Build cohort table in Google Sheets: rows = cohorts, columns = months 1-12, values = cumulative revenue per customer
  4. Compare across cohorts to see if optimization over time improves LTV
