How do I track discount performance?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm struggling to understand how to effectively track and analyze the performance of my discount campaigns. I want to move beyond basic metrics and gain deeper insights into how discounts impact my overall revenue, customer behavior, and long-term profitability. I need a comprehensive approach that helps me understand which discounts work, which don't, and how to optimize my promotional strategies for maximum impact.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Track discount performance by measuring redemption rate, revenue per redemption, conversion rate lift vs. control group, and 30/60/90-day repeat purchase rates. These four metrics reveal whether your discounts attract profitable buyers or train customers to wait for sales.
