I always thought this about discount code boxes so when I finally had a store checkout of my own to play with I added something like "Got no code? Enter code YAY for a small discount :-)" and it gave 4% off (almost nothing at my margins). Surprisingly, under half of users even bothered to used it :-)

That's a clever customer focused solution.

Great margins … what was your business?

Advertising, job ads, training, screencasts, etc. That is, something which often has a marginal profit margin of 99%+ so 4% off is an easy experiment (unlike for many physical products).
