INSIGHT

Big Discounts Drive Action

  • Massive discounts (50%+) move people who otherwise wouldn't act by creating perceived value gaps.
  • Marginal discounts (5–25%) mostly just cut margin and rarely change behavior.
ADVICE

Test Four Discount Displays

  • Test four ways to display a discount: percentage off, absolute amount off, relatable equivalent, and the discounted price.
  • Cycle through these formats to find which resonates and to avoid promo fatigue.
ADVICE

Use Absolute Prices For Familiar Offers

  • Use simple discounted prices for well-understood products where customers already know price ranges.
  • If the product is unknown, state the original price and absolute discount to provide context.
