Build this play with TailorWhen to use it
When percentage off is the page's only promotion and repeated discounting is eroding the reference price.
How to run it
Offer a named gift above a threshold ("free travel case on orders over $80") against the discount it replaces. Read margin per order as well as conversion.
Why it works
Raise the perceived value of acting
A gift adds value without lowering the price you can charge next time. You can also name it: "free travel case with your order" is concrete in a way "15% off" is not.
