The hacks
Impulse extras bar at flower checkout
Chocolates ($14). Balloon ($9). Teddy bear ($18). Premium vase ($24). Show 4 one-click extras at checkout. Flower buyers add 1.4 extras on average because each makes the gesture better.
Gesture upgrade offer at flower checkout
Cart has a small bouquet. At checkout: "Upgrade to Loving gesture - add chocolates + premium vase for $24 more." The gesture upgrade reframes the add as deepening the emotion. Tiergain triggers gesture upgrades based on cart tier.
Delivery date selector as mandatory checkout step
Flowers must arrive on the right day. Make delivery date selection a required checkout step. The date selector is not optional - it is the most important part of the flower order. Tiergain integrates delivery date as a checkout step.
Free personalized card at flower checkout threshold
"Add $8 more for a free personalized card." The card costs you $1 and completes the gift gesture. Flower buyers at checkout stretch for the card because it is the personal touch.
Premium packaging upgrade at flower checkout
Standard wrapping (free). Premium ($8): tissue + ribbon. Luxury ($14): box + tissue + ribbon + card holder. Flower packaging IS the gift presentation. 28% upgrade at checkout.
Post-purchase monthly flower subscription offer
After payment: "Make every month special - subscribe at 15% off." The emotional high of sending flowers makes the subscription feel romantic. 6.8% convert because the gesture habit is established.
Flower checkout is emotional, not transactional
Every flower checkout add-on should deepen the gesture, not feel like an upsell. "Make it extra special" with chocolates converts at 42%. "Would you like to add chocolates?" converts at 18%. The framing matters.
