Should I show discounts to everyone or only certain visitors?

I'm struggling with how to apply discounts strategically in my e-commerce store. Every time I run a promotion, I worry about giving away margins unnecessarily or training customers to always expect discounts. I want to understand the nuanced approach to targeting discounts - should I blanket my entire site with offers, or be more selective about who sees them? What are the potential impacts on conversion rates, customer perception, and long-term profitability if I'm not careful about my discount strategy?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Targeted discounts are superior to site-wide promotions. Focus on hesitant visitors with low purchase intent, avoiding dedicated buyers. Use behavioral tracking to identify and present personalized, time-limited offers that create genuine urgency without eroding brand value.
