Lesson Overview
Learn how to use upsells and bundles to increase the average order value of your PDFs and maximise revenue effortlessly.
One of the easiest ways to grow your revenue is by increasing the average order value (AOV) of your sales. Upsells and bundles allow you to offer more value to your customers while boosting your profits. In this lesson, we’ll explore how to use these strategies effectively to scale your PDF business.
1. What Are Upsells and Bundles?
Upsells
An upsell is an offer for a premium or upgraded version of the product the customer is already buying.
Example: After someone buys a “Basic Budget Planner,” offer a “Premium Budget Planner” with additional features.
Bundles
A bundle is a collection of complementary products sold together at a discounted price.
Example: Offer a “Productivity Bundle” that includes a planner, checklist, and goal-setting worksheet.
2. Why Upsells and Bundles Work
Increase Perceived Value
Customers feel like they’re getting more for their money, which makes the purchase more appealing.
Boost Revenue
Upsells and bundles encourage customers to spend more, increasing your AOV without needing more traffic.
Enhance Customer Experience
By offering complementary products, you solve more problems for your customers and improve their experience.
3. How to Create Effective Upsells
Offer a Premium Version
Create a higher-priced version of your PDF with additional features or content.
Example: A “Premium Meal Planner” with extra recipes and grocery lists.
Highlight the Benefits
Clearly explain why the upsell is worth the extra cost.
Example: “Upgrade to the Premium Planner for exclusive templates and expert tips!”
Make It Seamless
Offer the upsell immediately after the initial purchase, either on the checkout page or in a follow-up email.
Action Tip: Use tools like ThriveCart or ClickFunnels to add upsell pages to your checkout process.
4. How to Create Irresistible Bundles
Choose Complementary Products
Bundle products that solve related problems or work well together.
Example: A “Financial Planning Bundle” with a budget tracker, savings planner, and debt payoff worksheet.
Add Value with a Discount
Offer the bundle at a discounted price compared to buying the items separately.
Example: “Get all 3 planners for just 29.99(a29.99(a45 value)!”
Promote the Bundle
Highlight the bundle on your sales page, in emails, and on social media.
Example: “Our Productivity Bundle is back! Get organized and save 20% today.”

Basic to Premium: Offer a premium version of your PDF with advanced features.
