Plan a Promotion and Measure It

Copy

I run promotions and judge them on how busy the shop felt. Build me a promotion app. Let me define a promotion with a name, the offer, the start and end dates, the locations, and the products included. Before it starts, record a baseline of what those products normally sell in an equivalent period. While it runs and afterwards, show units sold, revenue, and crucially gross margin against that baseline, plus what happened to the products not in the promotion so I can see basket effects. Add an AI agent that reviews a finished promotion and tells me plainly whether it brought in additional business or mostly discounted customers who would have bought anyway, and what the margin cost was. Automate a scheduled reminder to capture the baseline before a promotion begins, and a results summary a week after it ends. Two logins: a manager who plans promotions, and an owner who sees margin and approves.

Plan a Promotion and Measure It

Plan promotions with offer, dates, and products, then measure uplift against a baseline on margin rather than volume.

// the spark catches · intelligence awakens · the answer unfolds

Promotions are judged on how busy it felt. This compares against a baseline and shows margin, so you can tell a good promotion from an expensive one.

What's Included

  • Offer, dates, and products defined before it runs.
  • Sales against a real baseline not against a feeling.
  • Margin effect, not just volume which is where most promotions fail.
  • An assistant that says whether it was incremental or discounted regulars.

How To Use

  1. Set the baseline before the promotion starts, not after.
  2. Judge on margin. Volume without margin is just a discount.
  3. Watch what else sold. The basket effect is often the real return.
  4. Keep the results so next year is planned on evidence.

Price the offer with the discount calculator, and promote it with advertising prompts.
