The hacks
Quantity breaks on pet food and treats
1 bag at $29. 3 bags at $73.95 (save 15%). 6 bags at $130.50 (save 25%). Pet parents know they will need more. The volume tier just moves the reorder forward.
Progressive rewards on pet bundles
Buy 2 items: 10% off. Buy 3: 15% off + free shipping. Buy 4: 18% off + free shipping + free toy. Tiergain stacks discounts, shipping, and gifts into progressive tiers for pet bundles.
Size-based pet food tiers
2lb bag at $14. 5lb bag at $29 (save 17%). 10lb bag at $49 (save 30%). The per-pound savings on the 10lb bag are visible. Large breed owners always pick the biggest.
Mix-and-match treat tiers across flavors
Pick any 3 treat flavors at 12% off. Any 5 at 20% off. Pet parents want variety for their pets. Tiergain handles flavor mix-and-match with progressive discounts.
Free toy at the highest pet order tier
A free chew toy costs you $3 but feels like a $14 bonus. Place it at the top tier so pet parents stretch to reach it. Pets love new toys. Parents love free things for their pets.
Subscription tier with auto-ship discount
One-time 3-bag pack at $73.95. Subscription 3-bag pack at $66.56 (extra 10% off). Pet food subscriptions have the highest retention in e-commerce. The tier locks in recurring AOV.
Match your tiers to the pet food consumption cycle
If a bag lasts 30 days, your tiers should be 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month supplies. Pet parents think in feeding cycles, not in bag counts. Name the tiers accordingly.
