Why Bundled Pricing Often Wins in A/B Tests

Strategy

📦

Bundle the Value

Bundles shift focus from price to perceived value.

Psychology

🧠

Less Price Sensitivity

Customers evaluate bundles emotionally — not item by item.

Outcome

📈

Higher AOV & Profit

Bundles frequently increase profit per visitor in A/B tests.

When customers buy bundles, they compare value — not prices. That’s why bundled pricing often outperforms single-product pricing in A/B tests, even when the bundle costs more overall.

🤔 Why Bundles Feel Like a Better Deal

Shoppers don’t calculate exact margins in their heads. Instead, they ask one question:
“Am I getting more value?”

Bundles simplify decisions by packaging value into one clear option, reducing friction and boosting confidence.

🧠 The 4 Reasons Bundles Win A/B Tests

1. Higher Perceived Value

Customers see multiple products as more valuable than the sum of their prices.

2. Reduced Price Comparison

Bundles make it harder to compare prices with competitors.

3. Fewer Decisions

One bundled choice feels easier than choosing multiple products separately.

4. Built-In Anchoring

Showing the individual price total makes the bundle feel like a smart deal.

🧩 How to A/B Test Bundled Pricing (The Right Way)

Create a logical bundle (products that naturally go together).
Show individual prices crossed out next to the bundle price.
Test bundle vs single-product purchase.
Measure profit per visitor, not just AOV.
Run the test for at least 7–14 days.

Many brands discover bundles outperform even higher-priced single items.

📈 Case Study: Bundle vs Single Product

A wellness brand tested a $39 single product against a $59 bundle.

Bundle conversion was slightly lower
AOV increased significantly
Profit per visitor increased by 26%

The bundle clearly outperformed — despite the higher price.

⚠️ Common Bundling Mistakes

❌ Bundling unrelated products
❌ Hiding individual product value
❌ Discounting too aggressively
❌ Not testing against the single-product option

🎯 Bundle Value, Not Discounts

Bundled pricing wins because it changes how customers think. Test bundles strategically, and let value — not price cuts — drive growth.
