How do I identify which products sell best with discounts?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm struggling to understand which products in my store perform best when discounted. I want to make strategic decisions about promotions that maximize revenue and clear inventory without unnecessarily reducing margins. I need a systematic approach to analyze product performance during sales, identify high-potential discount candidates, and develop a data-driven promotional strategy that boosts overall store performance.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Run A/B tests on discounts by comparing two different offers to separate audience segments simultaneously - for example, 10% off versus free shipping. Measure conversion rate, AOV, and margin impact over a statistically significant period.
