The hacks
Nootropics/performance: $72 median, $128 top quartile
Nootropic buyers are the most stack-oriented supplement customers. Top quartile sells 3-4 product performance stacks at a combined price. The goal framing drives the highest AOVs in supplements.
Fitness supplements: $58 median, $98 top quartile
Fitness buyers think in training stacks: pre-workout + protein + recovery. Top quartile bundles the full training protocol. Tiergain structures fitness goal stacks with progressive tiers.
General vitamins: $48 median, $85 top quartile
General vitamin buyers purchase 2-3 bottles at a time. Volume tiers on individual products and 90-day supply pricing close the gap to top quartile.
Wellness/adaptogen: $62 median, $112 top quartile
Wellness buyers purchase for daily rituals. Top quartile sells morning + evening ritual bundles. The ritual framing makes every product feel necessary. Tiergain structures ritual-based wellness bundles.
Weight management: $52 median, $92 top quartile
Weight management buyers want a complete protocol. Fat burner + protein + fiber + vitamins at a goal price. The "complete weight management stack" outsells individual bottles 3:1.
Use trial-size gifts to close the gap to top quartile
If you are within $25 of your sub-niche top quartile, a free trial-size of a complementary supplement can close it. 38% buy full-size within 30 days. The trial pays for itself.
Performance supplement buyers have the highest willingness to stack
Nootropic and fitness buyers already take 3-5 products daily. They do not need convincing to buy a stack. They need a structured bundle that makes the stack easy to buy. Match your bundle complexity to the sub-niche.
