Can I track customer lifetime value with discounts?

I'm looking to understand how discounts can help me track and potentially increase customer lifetime value (CLV) in my e-commerce business. I want to know if strategic discount implementation can actually provide insights into long-term customer relationships, rather than just being a short-term sales tactic. What metrics should I be monitoring, and how can I design discount strategies that not only attract customers but also encourage repeat purchases and higher overall spending?
