What this means

To match what normal-price sales left you, this offer needs 18 sales. That is only math. It does not mean the offer will bring in 18 sales. Check that you can handle the work and pay for the offer.

Details: what this tool can’t do, and how we handle your information

What it can’t do

  • The tool does not pick a winner. It does not predict demand or how many people use the offer.
  • If an offer leaves you nothing on each sale, the matching-sales math does not work.
  • If you do not know the cost of winning a customer or the sales, the totals that need them stay blank. What is left is before rent, taxes and other costs. It is not profit.

Questions

Does the share of people who use the offer change the discount?

No. If you enter it, you get a plan for expected uses. The discount is not taken off a second time.

Can I count repeat sales?

Enter any repeat sales on their own. The tool does not guess how many customers come back or what they are worth over time.
