Can I test different discount strategies against competitors?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm constantly looking for ways to optimize our promotional strategies and understand how our discounts compare to competitors. I want to know if there are systematic methods to test different discount approaches, measure their effectiveness, and gain insights that can help us stay competitive in the market. My goal is to find a data-driven approach to discount strategy that goes beyond guesswork and allows for precise, measurable experimentation.
