BOGO stands for “Buy One, Get One.”
It’s a popular sales offer where your customers get something extra, usually for free when they buy a product. BOGO deals are a simple, effective way to increase Average Order Value, clear inventory, and give shoppers more value.
Types of BOGO Bundles You Can Offer:
Buy One, Get One Free (Classic BOGO): This is the most well-known type of BOGO deal. When customers buy one item, they get the same item for free. It's a great way to boost sales, clear inventory, or encourage people to buy in bulk.
Buy One, Get a Different Product Free: Instead of giving the same item, you offer a related or complementary product for free. For example, buy a shampoo and get the conditioner free. This helps introduce new products and adds extra value to a single purchase.
Buy X, Get Y Free: This version gives you more flexibility. Customers buy one or more items and choose from a selection of free products. It’s a great way to give shoppers more control while still running a strong promotion.
Tiered BOGO Offers: With this type, the more customers buy, the more free items they get. For example, buy two, get one free—buy four, get two free. This setup encourages bigger purchases by rewarding higher quantities.
