Do you only sell individual items and don’t know how to combine products for sales, thus missing out on numerous opportunities to increase the average order value?
In fact, quite often, when customers purchase adult toys, what they truly desire is a “perfect experience”. And your chance lies in providing all the “elements” that constitute this perfect experience. This is the art of bundling sales.
In reality, product bundling sales is an effective strategy that can transform individual sales into a comprehensive experience. By strategically combining flagship products with complementary products (for example, combining toys with aromatherapy oils or mood lighting), you can leverage the powerful psychological drive to encourage customers to increase their spending.
The Psychology of Bundling: Why are customers more willing to buy “sets”?
The appeal of product bundles is rooted in powerful cognitive mechanisms. Research shows bundling works because it addresses fundamental human desires for efficiency, expert validation, and value.
| Psychological Driver | How It Works for the Customer | Why It’s a Win for Your Business |
| Convenience | Reduces decision fatigue. It offers a pre-assembled, one-click solution, saving customers time and mental energy. | Increases conversion rates. A simpler purchase path reduces cart abandonment by solving the customer’s entire problem at once. |
| Expert Curation | Triggers trust signals. A thoughtful bundle feels like an “optimal solution” from an expert, providing reassurance and confidence. | Builds brand authority. You become a knowledgeable guide, not just a vendor, which elevates your brand and fosters trust. |
| Perceived Value | Creates a “smart shopper” feeling. The discounted bundle price makes customers feel they’ve secured a great deal, providing emotional satisfaction. | Boosts AOV and profit margins. You sell more items per transaction, increasing overall revenue and profit even with a discount. |
Three effective “perfect experience” bundle strategies
Creating effective bundles is about targeting a specific customer mindset. Each bundle should tell a story about the experience they are about to have. Here are three field-tested strategies you can adapt for your product line.
1. The Beginner’s Starter Kit
Target Customer: First-time buyers or those feeling uncertain.
Psychological Goal: To eliminate guesswork and build confidence.
Example Components: An entry-level toy, a small bottle of lubricant, and a cleaning spray.
The Value: This bundle is a “confidence package.” It provides a complete, worry-free introduction, making customers feel guided and secure in their purchase.
2. The Couples’ Romantic Set
Target Customer: Partners or individuals seeking an experiential gift.
Psychological Goal: To frame the purchase as an investment in the relationship.
Example Components: A couples’ toy, massage oil or a scented candle, and a silk eye mask.
The Value: This transforms a product into a romantic event. Believe me, I’ve seen countless retailers’ sales stagnate until they finally understood this: they weren’t just selling a product, they were selling the promise of a memorable night together.
3. The Ultimate Experience Set
Target Customer: Connoisseurs and high-spenders looking for a premium experience.
Psychological Goal: To affirm the customer’s choice to invest in the best.
Example Components: A high-end toy, premium accessories (like a heating element), and a dedicated storage case.
The Value: This is the pinnacle of what you offer. It justifies a premium price and builds immense loyalty by delivering a best-in-class experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1.Q: How much cheaper should a bundled product be compared to the total price of the individual items?
A: There’s no single magic number, but a discount of 10-20% is a great starting point. The goal is to make the customer feel they’re getting a significant deal, which encourages the purchase, but not so much that it devalues your products. The key is to emphasize the “perceived value” and convenience, not just the discount.
2.Q: How do you clearly display the value of a bundle on the product page?
A: Use high-quality imagery showing all items together. Clearly list the individual prices and then the bundled price to highlight the savings (e.g., “Save $21!”). Write a compelling description that explains the benefit of the complete set and use a clear call-to-action button like “Add the Complete Set to Cart.”
3.Q: Will bundling affect the sales of the main feature toy?
A: On the contrary, a well-executed bundling strategy often boosts the sales of your main products. It introduces customers to complementary items, enhancing their overall experience and framing the main toy as the centerpiece of a more valuable purchase. As long as you still offer the option to buy products individually, bundling is a powerful tool to lift all sales.
