Leverage product bundling and tiered discounts to encourage higher spend, rather than relying on blanket percentage off promotions.
Analyze historical Black Friday/Cyber Monday data, including competitor offers and your own product performance, to tailor discounting strategies.
Be prepared for increased discounting pressure in 2024; average discount rates are trending higher year-over-year.
Consider the long-term impact of discounting on brand perception and customer lifetime value, balancing immediate sales with sustained brand equity.
