Promo weeks distort commerce baselines

How campaign calendars in Thailand quietly warp cart and paid metrics if you do not annotate them.

Shopping bags arranged on a soft surface

11.11, mid-year sales, and regional festival campaigns pull unusual traffic into commerce apps. Comparing an ordinary Tuesday to a flash-sale Saturday without annotation invents false product stories.

We mark promo windows beside funnel and recovery charts before recommending fixes. Sometimes the “broken” payment step is a flood of first-time buyers; sometimes a healthy baseline hides a quieter weekday regression.

Keep a shared campaign calendar next to your analytics definitions. Commerce app analytics stays honest when merchandising and product read the same dates.
