When Ads Outperform Discounts: A Flash Sale Story We recently launched a 12-hour flash sale for one of our brands, from 12 noon to 12 midnight. Our ad creatives and timers went live at 11:50 AM, and we generated ₹8 lacs in the first hour. But here’s the twist: At 2 PM, the developer informed us that a bug had prevented the sale discounts from going live at the scheduled time. The discounts only became active after 2 PM, yet during those two hours, we achieved: • ₹11 lacs in revenue without any discounts live. • 700+ active carts and 58 live checkouts. • Over 1000 orders placed. It made me wonder: Are people really checking the prices? Or do compelling creatives, persuasive messaging, and a sense of urgency (like timers) play a bigger role than discounts themselves? At DigiMaze, we maintain strict policies for flash sales: prepaid orders only, no cancellations, and no returns unless there’s a defect. Yet, the results this time left us questioning traditional buyer behavior. I’ve attached a screenshot of live analytics during the sale for reference. Would love to hear your thoughts on this! #Ecommerce #PerformanceMarketing #DigiMaze #Innovation
