Testing Different Offers Before Cyber Monday
Offer type is the single highest-impact variable in CM performance. The same discount budget deployed as 'Buy $100 get $20 off' can convert 20-30% differently from '20% off everything'. Testing this pre-CM is the most valuable experiment you can run.
Offer Type Test Matrix
| Offer Type | Example | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage off | 25% off everything | High-priced items, wide catalog |
| Flat amount off | $20 off orders over $80 | Mid-priced products under $100 |
| Tiered discount | 10% off $50, 20% off $100 | Driving AOV higher |
| Buy X get Y | Buy 2 get 1 free | Clearing inventory, multi-pack items |
| Free gift with purchase | Free [product] on orders over $75 | Perceived value over pure discount |
How to Test Offer Types
- - Run a small sale (10-15% off) in October with the two offer types you're considering for CM
- - Send equal-sized email list segments to each variant
- - Measure: conversion rate AND revenue per visitor AND AOV
- - The winner isn't always the highest conversion rate - consider margin too
