Since the inception of Fair Wind Fasteners, the Upsell+ Volume Discounts app has been a cornerstone of their sales strategy. Offering tiered discounts has proven crucial, especially for products like wood screws, where customers often need varying quantities.

By providing significant savings for larger purchases, the app encourages higher order values. Although it’s challenging to quantify the exact increase in revenue, the consistent rise in order values and customer retention underscores the app’s effectiveness.


Influencing Customer Behavior and Gathering Feedback

“We’ve seen customers add more to their carts to reach discount tiers, a clear indication that tiered pricing drives larger purchases.”

The introduction of tiered discounts has noticeably influenced customer purchasing behavior. Many customers tend to increase their order sizes to reach the next discount tier. For instance, a customer needing 80 pieces often opts for 100 to benefit from the discount, enhancing the overall sales volume. The flexibility in ordering also attracts customers who appreciate not being confined to pre-set package sizes, a common limitation with competitors.
