title: "How to review promotion results with AI"
description: "AI can line up each past promotion, such as a discount, bundle or code, with sales for the same products before, during and after it, alongside similar weeks with no promotion. It summarizes which offers brought in extra sales, which mostly moved sales from one week to another, and which cut margin without much lift, and it notes events or stock issues that may have affected the result. A manager reviews the summary, checks anything that looks surprising and decides which promotions to repeat, change or drop."

# How can AI help a retailer or restaurant review whether past promotions worked?
AI can line up each past promotion, such as a discount, bundle or code, with sales for the same products before, during and after it, alongside similar weeks with no promotion. It summarizes which offers brought in extra sales, which mostly moved sales from one week to another, and which cut margin without much lift, and it notes events or stock issues that may have affected the result. A manager reviews the summary, checks anything that looks surprising and decides which promotions to repeat, change or drop.
## What this means in practice
- List past promotions with dates, products, offer type and any codes used.
- Export sales and margin for those products before, during and after each one.
- Have AI compare each promotion with similar weeks that had no offer.
- Ask AI to note stock shortages, holidays or events that could explain the result.
- A manager reviews the summary and decides what to repeat, adjust or stop.
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
