What does that discount actually cost you?

A 20% discount on a product with 50% margins does not cut your revenue by 20%. It cuts your profit by 40%. Work out what yours does before you run it.

Which number do you know?

What one unit sells for before any discount.

What percentage of the selling price is profit once the cost of the product is taken off. If you are not sure, switch to the unit cost above and let this work itself out.

The percentage off the selling price the customer would see.

If the discount is not the answer

Discounting is usually the reachable tool rather than the right one. Revenue is soft, the promotion is the thing you can run this week, and the volume it needs never quite arrives.

The Shopify Health Check works out what is actually causing the softness. 5 figures from your analytics and 11 questions about what you have built, and it names which of the three retention layers is weakest and what fixing it is plausibly worth against your own numbers. Fix the Leak is included, and chapter 13 is the one this calculator came out of.
