The Never-Ending Discount Trap

Ah, discounts—the magical tool that turns every inbox into a bargain bin. If you’ve been sending out discounts in every email, congratulations! You’ve successfully trained your customers to wait until you’re practically paying them to take your products. Who needs healthy profit margins anyway?

The Waiting Game: You vs. Your Customers

Here’s the problem: when every email contains a discount, customers stop buying at full price. They know that if they just sit tight, another discount is right around the corner. It’s like rewarding procrastination but with your bottom line taking the hit. Instead of urgency, you’re fostering patience—a dangerous game for any eCommerce brand.

Your Brand, The Discount Depot

What happens when your brand becomes synonymous with discounts? Spoiler alert: it cheapens your image. Instead of a quality-driven, must-have product, your brand becomes the digital version of a clearance rack. Customers no longer associate you with premium value—they associate you with markdowns. And once you’re seen as the brand that’s always on sale, good luck convincing people to pay full price ever again.

Driving Sales Without Destroying Margins
