The hacks
Quantity breaks on bestselling food products
1 jar at $14. 3 jars at $35.70 (save 15%). 6 jars at $63 (save 25%). The math makes 3 jars feel like the obvious choice. 6 jars is for the loyalists.
Progressive rewards on variety packs
Pick 3 flavors: 10% off. Pick 5: 15% off + free shipping. Pick 8: 20% off + free shipping + free mystery flavor. Tiergain stacks all three reward types into progressive tiers.
Per-unit price display on bulk food orders
"$10.50/jar when you buy 6" next to "$14/jar when you buy 1." Food shoppers are price-sensitive. The per-unit math closes the deal.
Pantry pack tiers by household size
Solo pack (3 items). Family pack (6 items). Party pack (12 items). The sizing frames the purchase around the household, not the product. Families pick the family pack by default.
Free shipping as the volume tier unlock
Food is heavy. Shipping costs are real. Make free shipping the tier 2 reward and watch customers stretch to hit it. Buy 3: 10% off. Buy 5: 10% off + free shipping.
Subscription tier with automatic reorder discount
One-time 6-pack at $63. Subscription 6-pack at $57 (extra 10% off). The subscription tier locks in recurring revenue at a predictable AOV.
Show three tiers, highlight the middle one
Three tiers. The middle one gets the "most popular" badge. 68% of food buyers pick the middle tier when it is visually highlighted. That is the tier you actually want to sell.
