Growth Hacks

Hack 1: Maximize Upselling Through Bundled Discounts
Offering product bundles encourages larger purchases. For example, combining slow-moving products with best-sellers creates perceived value.

• Implement dynamic bundling: Use AI tools like Shopify's Bundler app to analyze purchase trends.

• Promote bundles prominently: Feature them on the home page or checkout screens.

• Example: Offer a "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" bundle on Faire's high-margin seasonal items.

Hack 2: Use Text Marketing to Drive Repeat Sales
Text messages have a 98% open rate, making them a goldmine for re-engagement.

• Keep it short and valuable: Announce limited-time offers or new products.

• Use automation tools: Platforms like Postscript make it easy to segment customers.

• Example: Send a “Flash Sale—Save 15% on all home goods!” to targeted Faire customers.

Key Tip For Business

Sales Masterclass

1. Sell Emotions, Not Products
People buy the story or solution, not just the item. Focus on how your product changes lives.
Example: Instead of saying “Wholesale made easy,” Faire could say, “Empower your store with unique brands customers love.”

2. Lean Into Price Anchoring
Showcase high-value options to make mid-tier offerings feel more affordable.
Example: On Faire, list a premium subscription at $500/month next to the standard $200/month, creating a perception of value.

3. Offer a Success Guarantee
A risk-free approach can close more sales.
Example: “Not satisfied with your first order? Get your money back.” Faire implements this to build retailer trust.

Business Marketing 101

1. Host Virtual Events
Webinars and virtual trade shows are engaging ways to connect with customers.
Example: Faire could host a “Brand Discovery Day” where independent brands showcase products to retailers online.

2. Use Geo-Targeted Ads
Focus ads on underserved locations where your audience is concentrated.
Example: Faire could promote its platform in small towns where retailers rely on hard-to-find independent brands.

3. Engage on Emerging Platforms
Jump into platforms like TikTok or Threads early. The early mover advantage boosts visibility.
Example: Showcase user-generated content like unboxing Faire products on TikTok with trending hashtags.
