Hey all,

Before you offer a bigger discount, get more from the one you already have.

For one luxury home goods brand, a small change lifted conversions 8.5%.

We didn’t lower the price any further.

Here’s what we changed.

Learn the changes that help holiday shoppers buy faster, convert more often, and spend more.

🎯 WEEKLY INSIGHT

When your products are an investment, pair dollar savings with percentages to make value obvious at a glance.

Your luxury customers aren’t doing mental math.

They’re chasing the feeling of a smart buy.

For a luxury home goods brand, we tested adding dollar savings next to the percentage discount:

Next to “20% off,” we added: “Save $1,050”

The result? An +8.5% lift in conversions.

Same discount, different perception: one line reframed the offer from numbers to tangible money savings in a big way.

“20% off” forces them to pause and calculate.

It doesn’t mean much until you spell it out.

“Save $1,050” skips the math and triggers emotion: “That’s real money.”

When prices are high, buyers look for proof that they’re making a smart choice.

Dollar savings do what percentages can’t: they make value immediate and undeniable.

Everyone loves a deal. Make it feel more substantial and less transactional.

⭐ Takeaway: Dollar savings next to percentage savings turns abstract math into a tangible win, helping buyers justify big purchases faster.

🗞️ NEWS HIGHLIGHT
  • What changed: Rugs Direct and Lightopia rolled out Ask Cleo across site search and product pages, letting shoppers ask conversational questions about style, specs, dimensions, materials, and fit.

  • Why it matters: The early lift came from shoppers who engaged with the assistant, not from every visitor. That makes the useful test narrower: put AI where shoppers need product-specific help before they add to cart.
