Detect Discount Abuse in Campaign Audiences
Identify the customers training themselves to only buy at a discount.
Discount abuse silently erodes your margins. When a significant portion of your customers have learned to wait for your 20% off emails before purchasing, your base-price revenue suffers and your effective margin shrinks. PayHelm's weekly discount analysis identifies customers who have exclusively purchased with coupon codes in the past 90 days, flags campaigns with abnormally high discount utilization rates, and recommends audience exclusions and campaign structure changes to break the discount dependency without losing the customers.
