How store grow AOV in 40% on BFCM - without giving 30% off?

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.

  • AOV jumped from $43.11 to $58.51.
  • Revenue +40% vs last year’s BFCM.
  • Monthly sales up 155% since switching.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: Stop discounting everything equally.
Reward customers who buy more.

Comment BFCM and I’ll show you the exact setup.

This approach works really well. Tiered incentives get customers to add more instead of just taking a flat discount on what they planned to buy anyway.

We built Smart Progress Bars specifically for this use case. It shows real-time tier progress as customers add to cart. Combined with personalized bundle suggestions, customers get nudged toward products that actually make sense for them to hit the next tier.

Happy to share setup details if anyone’s curious.
