An order bump is a limited-time, exclusive offer presented to customers immediately after they make a purchase or express interest in a product. Available only following a specific purchase, the order bump aims to encourage customers to make an additional purchase while they are already engaged in the buying process. Therefore, this technique can significantly boost the average order value without the need for extra marketing efforts to attract new customers. Read on to learn how to add an order bump to your funnel.

Best Practices for Order Bumps

  • Relevance: Ensure the order bump is closely related to the main product to increase the likelihood of purchase.
  • Value Proposition: Clearly articulate the benefits of the order bump to encourage customers to take advantage of the offer.
  • Pricing Strategy: Price the order bump attractively to make it a no-brainer for customers.

Setting Up Products

Creating a New Product

Product Options

On the product creation page, scroll down to Pricing and choose whether the product is a one-time purchase or a recurring subscription. 

If it's recurring, specify the frequency (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc).

Additional Options 

Here, you can set a trial period, the number of payments, and if applicable, a setup fee. For membership offers, ensure the product is linked to the correct offer in your membership area.

After creating your main product, you can add another product that will serve as your order bump, following the same steps as above.
