What advanced segmentation strategies optimize discount effectiveness?

Revenue Per Visitor: The Right Discount Campaign Metric

Optimizing for conversion rate in isolation can produce misleading results when discounts are involved. A 20% off offer will almost always increase conversion rate - but if it reduces AOV or increases returns, the net revenue impact may be negative. Revenue per visitor (RPV) captures the full picture in a single number.

Metric Comparison: Conversion Rate vs. RPV

Calculating Revenue Per Visitor

RPV = Total Revenue / Total Visitors for the measured period and audience segment. For discount campaigns: calculate RPV for visitors who saw the offer (including those who accepted and those who declined), and compare to the holdout group RPV. This gives a true measure of the campaign's revenue contribution per visitor, accounting for both conversion lift and any AOV changes.

For a more precise view, use Net Revenue Per Visitor: (Revenue - Discount Cost - Return Cost) / Visitors. This accounts for both the direct discount and the downstream effects of discount-driven orders having different return rates.

Growth Suite Revenue Reporting

Growth Suite's analytics reports campaign revenue impact in absolute terms - revenue attributed to converted offers - alongside campaign exposure numbers, giving you the data needed to calculate RPV. The Funnel Report shows conversion rates at each stage, while campaign-level reporting shows offer acceptance rate and revenue per accepted offer. Combine these to build a complete RPV picture for each campaign configuration.
