3 ways to boost AOV without killing margin

You know, discounts are actually pretty easy thing to do, and they work. But they don’t always bring in higher AOV consistently.

Here are 3 things to kick-off that you could test it out:

1. Bundle by problem, not product

  • “Summer bundle” tells me nothing. “Gut reset kit” solves a specific pain.

  • Name the outcome, then stack the SKUs

2. Make your thresholds feel like perks

  • $65 = free 2-day shipping. $90 = early access to next collab.

  • Perks > boring discounts.

3. Post-purchase upsells

  • Still criminally underused!

  • Serve a $12 add-on after checkout. High margin, zero CAC, no discount.

  • Tools like Rebuy or AfterSell make it easy.

Alright folks, that’s it for today!
