Reading till batches after a multi-buy weekend
Same-day dashboards can punish a grocery multi-buy that actually settled cleanly by Monday noon.
Grocery flash windows often close late on Sunday. Till batches may not finish uploading until Monday morning. If you judge conversion at 9pm Sunday against email traffic, the chart understates paid orders.
A practical rhythm
- Freeze a provisional read Monday at noon
- Compare coupon CRM exports after the final till batch
- Only then brief merchandising on which multi-buy lines to repeat
ForestBase Service Campaign Debrief Sessions build this delay into the agenda so teams stop discarding offers that simply settled late.
