Review a retention campaign that offers a discount

Check whether saved customers cover the cost of discounts given to others.

Compare against likely behavior without the offer

If 100 eligible customers receive a discount and a comparable holdout suggests only ten were retained by it, count the value of those ten incremental customers. Check whether the control and campaign groups were comparable.

Compare against likely behavior without the offer. Include discounts redeemed by existing loyal customers. Measure what happens after the offer.
Key decisions covered in this article.

Include discounts redeemed by existing loyal customers

A $12 discount redeemed by 40 customers costs $480 before any administrative fees. If ten incremental customers contribute $55 each before discounts, the estimated gain is $70 after the discount expense.

Measure what happens after the offer

Some customers leave when regular pricing returns. Compare active use and contribution at a later point. Separate future assumptions from realized results.
