5 Bundling Strategies to Increase Your Average Order Value

Product bundling can help customers discover complementary products and build a more useful order. But not every bundle needs the same structure. Here are five practical strategies to consider.

1. The "Complete the Look" Bundle

This works especially well for fashion and beauty brands. Instead of selling individual items, group complementary products together, a top with matching bottoms, or a cleanser with toner and moisturizer.

Why it works: Customers can see how related items fit together without searching across separate product pages.

2. Tiered Volume Discounts

Offer increasing discounts based on quantity: buy 2 save 10%, buy 3 save 15%, buy 4 save 20%. This creates a natural incentive to add more items.

Why it works: The perceived value of the discount grows with each item added, triggering loss aversion.

3. Build-Your-Own Bundles

Let customers choose their own products within a bundle. Set a minimum quantity and let them mix and match. This is particularly powerful for:

• Food and beverage (meal kits, snack boxes)
• Beauty (choose-your-shades sets)
• Supplements (build-your-stack)

Why it works: Customers control the final selection while you define the products and limits.

4. Gift Sets and Seasonal Bundles

Pre-curated bundles tied to occasions; holiday gift boxes, Mother's Day sets, back-to-school packs. These have a natural urgency built in.

Why it works: A ready-made option reduces the work involved in choosing a gift.

5. Rules Based Bundles

Dynamic bundles use "if this, then that" logic inside the bundle experience. For example, selecting a moisturiser can reveal a matching SPF and serum. Selecting a bike frame can narrow the next step to compatible tyres, handlebars, and components.

Why it works: Shoppers are not always aware of what completes a product. Configured rules can present relevant choices at the right point in the bundle.
