Do influencer codes hurt full-price conversion long term?

I'm running an e-commerce brand and have been working with multiple influencers who provide unique discount codes to their followers. While these partnerships initially boost sales, I'm concerned about the long-term impact on our brand's perceived value and customers' willingness to purchase at full price. Are we training our audience to always expect discounts? How can we maintain our brand's premium positioning while still leveraging influencer marketing effectively?
