How do I announce new discounts to customers?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm struggling to effectively communicate new discount offers to my customers without seeming spammy or desperate. I want to create excitement around my promotions, ensure they reach the right audience, and drive meaningful engagement. I need strategic approaches to announce discounts that feel authentic, create genuine urgency, and actually motivate customers to make a purchase. What are the most effective channels and techniques for presenting new discount campaigns?

The short answer

Growth Suite's Post-Purchase Upsells present additional offers immediately after checkout completion, when buying intent is at its peak. Configure upsell campaigns with complementary products at a reduced price to increase revenue per order without discounting the original purchase.

Post-Purchase Upsells with Growth Suite

The moment immediately after a purchase is the highest-intent moment in the customer journey. The customer has already committed their wallet and proved they trust your brand. Post-purchase upsells capitalize on this peak-intent moment to increase order value without any additional acquisition cost.
