What's the first thing I should do to set up my first discount campaign?

As a new e-commerce business owner, I'm completely overwhelmed by setting up my first discount campaign. I understand discounts can drive sales, but I'm unsure where to begin. I want to create a promotion that attracts customers without hurting my profit margins, but I have no experience in designing effective discount strategies. I need a clear, step-by-step approach that helps me launch my first campaign confidently and strategically, ensuring I'm not making rookie mistakes that could damage my brand or financial performance.

Setting Up Your First Discount Campaign in Growth Suite

The most common mistake with a first campaign is jumping straight to the discount percentage before defining what you are trying to achieve. Starting with goal clarity makes every other decision easier.

Step 1: Define Your Goal

GoalRecommended Campaign Type
Recover abandoning visitorsExit-intent trigger, 10-15% off
Convert first-time browsersWelcome offer for new visitors
Increase cart sizeMinimum order threshold discount

Step 2: Key Campaign Settings

  • Discount type: Percentage off, fixed amount, or free shipping
  • Trigger: Exit-intent, time on site, scroll depth, or cart value
  • Audience: New visitors, returning visitors, or all
  • Timer duration: 10-30 minutes is standard for first campaigns

First campaign recommendation: Start with an exit-intent campaign offering 10% off to new visitors. It is easy to measure, protects margins, and gives you baseline data to optimize from. Growth Suite behavioral targeting ensures only walk-away customers see the offer.
