What are the best sales techniques and discount offers to try?

Topic summary

Seeking practical sales offers and discount techniques for a Shopify store.

Key suggestion: set up an automated SALE collection using the “compare at price” field (original price) so any product with a non-empty compare-at price is auto-included. Add this collection to the site navigation and homepage for visibility. A screenshot is provided and is central to understanding the collection setup steps.

Alternative strategy: leverage post-purchase offers (upsells/cross-sells shown after a customer buys), noted for higher conversion than first-time visitors. One app recommendation (ReConvert Upsell & Cross Sell) includes a 30-day free trial, though the requester prefers not to use apps currently.

Resource shared: a guide with 19 methods to use sales to generate more sales (no specifics summarized in the thread).

Actions to consider:

  • Implement the automated SALE collection and surface it in menus and homepage.
  • Explore post-purchase offers (with or without apps).
  • Review the shared guide for broader tactics.

I am looking to add new offers and discount for sales in my store, can you suggest to me the offers or other techniques that should I try?

Hey,
The easiest way to do this is to create new collections. You can add certain items to your collections manually, but you can also automate collections.

For example - this is how I set SALE collection:

  1. I create a new collection
  2. I set automation that “if the compare at price is not empty” it adds a product to a collection. Since all products that are on sale will have compare at price, this automation will add all products that are on sale in this collection.
  3. Inside Online Store → Navigation I add it to the menu. Also inside Online Store → Themes → Customizer I add it to the home page

Hey, @rutvik_shop

An area that often gets overlooked and underutilized in business marketing efforts is the post-purchase offers. What’s great about these offers is their higher conversion rate since the customer is more likely to purchase from your store again compared to a new visitor.

There is a great app called ReConvert Upsell & Cross Sell that does a spectacular job offering a variety of post-purchase offers. I recommend utilizing their 30-day free trial.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.
