Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A store achieved significant BFCM results using a tiered discount strategy instead of a flat 30% off:

Discount Structure:

  • Buy 1 item → 10% off
  • Buy 2 items → 20% off
  • Buy 3+ items → 30% off
  • Customers could mix any products

Results vs. Previous Year:

  • Revenue increased 40%+
  • AOV (Average Order Value) jumped from $43.11 to $58.51
  • Monthly sales up 155% since implementing this approach
  • Same traffic and product catalog

Key Strategy:
Rather than discounting everything equally, the approach rewards customers who purchase more, incentivizing larger basket sizes while maintaining better margins on smaller orders.

While everyone else ran flat 30% discounts across their store, one of our store that we manage flipped the script:
Up to 30% off, based on how much customers buy - and they could mix any products they wanted.

Buy 1 → 10% off
Buy 2 → 20% off
Buy 3+ → 30% off
Same traffic. Same products.
