Effectively managing coupon expiration dates and usage rules is crucial for any e-commerce business. This guide will show you how to leverage Cnfans Spreadsheets to streamline your coupon management process.
Setting Up Your Spreadsheet
Create a new spreadsheet with these columns:
- Coupon Code: The unique coupon identifier
- Discount Value: Percentage or fixed amount
- Expiration Date: Format as YYYY-MM-DD
- Minimum Purchase: Minimum order value requirement
- Applicable Products: List of eligible products
- Usage Limit: Max number of redemptions
- Status: Active/Expired/Used
=CONCATENATE("After ", TEXT(A2,"mm/dd/yyyy"), ", this coupon expires")
Tracking Expiration Dates
Use the following formulas to monitor expiration:
Purpose | Formula |
---|---|
Highlight expiring soon | =AND((B2-TODAY())<=7, (B2-TODAY())>0) |
Show days remaining | =IF(ISBLANK(B2),"",IF(B2>=TODAY(),B2-TODAY(),"Expired")) |
Apply conditional formatting to draw attention to coupons expiring within 7 days (yellow highlight) and expired coupons (red highlight).
Managing Usage Rules
Create helper columns for rule validation:
- Valid for Cart?:
=IF([Order Total]>= [Minimum Purchase],"Valid","Minimum not met")
- Product Eligibility:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH([Product ID],[Applicable Products])),"Eligible","Not eligible")
- Usage Count Check:
=IF([Times Used]<[Usage Limit],"Available","Fully redeemed")
Automation Tips
- Scheduled reminders for expiring coupons
- Auto-archive expired coupons with Apps Script
- Create data validation dropdowns for coupon types
- Set up weekly summary reports of coupon performance
Best Practices
- Regularly audit coupon usage versus budget
- Segment coupons by campaign or season
- Maintain archive of expired coupons for reference
- Integrate with your CRM for customer-specific coupons
With this system, you'll gain complete visibility into your coupon program, reduce revenue loss from improper redemptions, and improve your promotion planning.
