AOV lift from 4-bag sampler packs
Coffee and tea brands fight on flavor. The ones winning fight on bundle structure - samplers, volume tiers, and subscription boxes.
The hacks
Sampler pack builder with pick-any-4 pricing
Let customers pick any 4 blends at a bundled price. Choice drives exploration. Customers want to try everything before committing to a favorite.
Volume tiers on bestselling blends
One bag at $16. Three bags at $40.80 (save 15%). Six bags at $72 (save 25%). Coffee runs out in 2-3 weeks. The math makes 3 bags feel like the smart choice.
Brewing gear + coffee bundle as anchor offer
Bundle a pour-over set with 3 bags of coffee at a starter price. The gear is the anchor. The coffee is the recurring revenue.
Free shipping at $49 for coffee and tea
Median coffee AOV is $38. Set the threshold at $49. One more bag, one more accessory. The shipping cost on heavy bags is the strongest motivator in this category.
Gift box builder for coffee and tea gifts
Gift buyers spend more. A "build a coffee gift box" page with 3-5 picks plus a branded mug at a bundled price captures gifting intent. Tiergain adds a mandatory packaging step so every gift order includes it.
Post-purchase upsell with matching accessories
Bought 3 bags? Show a French press or travel mug right after checkout. The accessory completes the experience.
Lead with the sampler, not the single bag
Your homepage hero should be the 4-bag sampler at $54, not the single bag at $16. When the first price a customer sees is $54, that becomes the anchor for the entire session.
