How Product Bundles Can Increase Your AOV by 30%

+30% AOV

with Bundles

Here's a question I love asking store owners: what's easier—finding a new customer or getting an existing customer to spend $20 more? The answer is almost always the latter. And one of the simplest ways to do that? Bundles. It sounds almost too basic, but hear me out.

Why Do Bundles Even Work?

It's partly psychology, partly convenience. When someone buys a bundle, they're not just buying products—they're buying a decision that's already made for them:

  • "I'm getting a deal" — Even if they're spending more, the perceived value hits different
  • "I don't have to think" — Analysis paralysis is real. Bundles eliminate it.
  • "I might miss out" — Limited bundles create that healthy urgency
  • "Oh, I didn't know you sold that" — Bundles introduce people to products they'd never find on their own

Real Result

A home goods store using Alintro Bundle Builder saw their AOV increase from $45 to $62 (38% lift) within 30 days of launching their first bundle campaign.

Four Bundle Types That Actually Move the Needle

Fixed Bundles

+15-25% AOV

Pre-defined product combinations at a discounted price

Example: Skincare Set: Cleanser + Toner + Moisturizer = 20% off

Best for: Complementary products that work together

Mix & Match

+20-35% AOV

Let customers build their own bundle from selected products

Example: Pick any 3 t-shirts for $60 (normally $25 each)

Best for: Stores with many variants or similar products

Volume Discounts

+25-40% AOV

Buy more, save more - tiered pricing based on quantity

Example: Buy 2 save 10%, Buy 3 save 15%, Buy 4+ save 20%

Best for: Consumable or replenishable products

BOGO Offers

+30-50% AOV

Buy one get one free or discounted

Example: Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off on all accessories

Best for: Clearance, new product launches, or high-margin items

Choosing the Right Bundle Strategy

Best Practices for Higher Conversions

Show the Savings Clearly

Display original price vs bundle price prominently. "Save $15" is powerful.

Limit Choices

Too many options leads to decision paralysis. 3-5 bundle options max.

Name Bundles Creatively

"The Complete Skincare Routine" beats "Product Bundle #1"

Use Urgency Wisely

Limited-time bundles create FOMO. But don't overdo it.

Feature on Product Pages

Show bundle options directly on product pages, not just a separate bundles page.

Bundle + Cart Recovery = Maximum Impact

Combine bundles with cart recovery for even better results. When someone abandons a bundle:

  • Send an SMS/WhatsApp reminder highlighting the savings
  • Reference the specific bundle they left behind
  • Add urgency: "Your bundle discount expires soon"

Pro Tip

Use Alintro's SMS Notifications with Bundle Builder together. When someone abandons a bundle, they get a personalized recovery message mentioning exactly what they left behind and how much they'll save.
