Of pet parents buy holiday gifts for their pets
Pets get Christmas stockings. That is the reality. Build your holiday bundles around pet stocking stuffers and gift baskets.
The hacks
Pet stocking stuffer bundle
Chew toy + treat bag + bandana + paw balm in a holiday stocking. The stocking IS the packaging. Pet parents buy the bundle because the stocking hangs next to the family ones.
Build-your-own pet gift basket
Step 1: pick a basket size. Step 2: choose 4-6 items (toys, treats, accessories). Step 3: add holiday wrapping. Tiergain builds the sequential builder with different product pools per step.
Holiday tiered pet gift pricing
Small treat ($24): treats + toy. Medium gift ($49): treats + toy + blanket + bandana. Grand basket ($84): full basket with premium toys + organic treats + holiday outfit. The medium is the anchor.
Free holiday bandana at $49 threshold
Spend $49, get a free holiday-themed pet bandana. The bandana costs you $2 and ends up on every pet photo shared on Instagram. Free marketing.
Gift bundles for "pet parents you know"
Not just gifts for pets - gifts for pet owners. A "Dog Mom Gift Box" with treats, a mug, a toy, and a photo frame. The recipient framing drives gifting between pet parents.
Post-purchase: add a gift card to the pet basket
After buying the pet gift basket, offer a $15 gift card to include. The gift card lets the recipient choose something specific for their pet.
Holiday pet photos sell your bundles for you
Include a holiday bandana or outfit in every gift bundle. Pet parents photograph their pets in holiday gear and share on social media. Your product ends up in hundreds of photos without spending a dollar on ads.
