Ecommerce Tip of the Week: Bundle Products for Higher Sales, Lower Competition

Whether you're selling on a marketplace or your own webstore, bundles are a great way to increase sales and avoid competition.

What are bundles?

Bundles are SKUs that include multiple items.

Multipacks

Multipacks are bundles that have multiple units of one unique product. If you sell on marketplaces, you've probably seen the attribute "multipack quantity”.

Kits

Kits are bundles that have multiple underlying products. Some kits may even have multiple units of each underlying product.

Why are bundles important?

Ecommerce fulfillment is not cheap. Shipping multiple units in one package allows sellers to gain shipping cost efficiencies that can be passed through to the consumer.

Bundles provide a higher average order value and higher gross profit per order.

Bundles also allow sellers to cross-sell relevant but perhaps as yet undiscovered products to consumers.

Reduced competition

Many sellers of competitive products do not have an easy way to offer bundles because it typically requires creation of a new listing on the marketplace, and robust inventory management capability.

Recap of benefits:

• Higher average order value
• Higher gross profit per order
• Shipping efficiencies allow discounts to be provided to consumer
• Cross sell relevant products
• Assist in new product discovery
• Lower competition
