Best Practices:
When setting up this strategy, you need to choose your discount offer.
Sumo Recommendation: A 10% discount offer is our recommended starting place. Expect to see higher conversion rates the higher discount you offer:
A few other ideas to test:
- Dollar Amount Offer:
- Try testing $ discount vs. % discount of the same amount. If your AOV is $100, try $10 off instead of 10% off.
- The “Weird % Offer”:
- Try 7% or 9% off. We’ve seen a smaller discount amounts outperform round figures, like 10% or 20%
- Free Shipping:
- Free shipping has almost become expected by visitors. However, you should definitely test this offer to see if it performs for your unique audience.
