When it comes to sales strategies, bundling isn’t just practical — it’s powerful. Much like building the perfect snowman, creating effective bundles is all about layering value, adding thoughtful touches, and giving your buyers options they can’t resist.

Whether you’re starting with a basic package or looking for all the bells and whistles, tiered bundles can transform your quoting process into a dynamic, customer-centric powerhouse. Let’s dive deeper into the art of bundling and how it works with quote•hapily.

What Is Bundling in Sales?
Bundling involves grouping related products, services, or discounts into cohesive packages. These bundles streamline the buying process, offering clarity for customers and convenience for your team.

Tiered bundles take this a step further, presenting buyers with multiple levels of value — from basic offerings to premium experiences.

Bundling does more than organize your offerings — it creates opportunities. Here’s why it’s a strategy worth embracing:

  • Simplicity for Customers: Bundles clarify what’s included, eliminating confusion and helping buyers make faster decisions.
  • Upsell Opportunities: Presenting options at different price points encourages customers to upgrade to higher tiers.
  • Increased Revenue: Bundles often result in larger deal sizes by packaging complementary products or services together.
  • Enhanced Buyer Experience: Thoughtful tiers showcase your understanding of customer needs, building trust and loyalty.


How Tiered Bundles Drive Better Sales
A tiered approach gives your sales team the flexibility to appeal to a broader audience while maximizing revenue potential. Here’s how it works:

  • Cater to Diverse Needs: Whether a customer is cost-conscious or ready to splurge, tiered bundles let you meet them where they are.
  • Create Clear Value Differentiation: Each tier offers more value, making the jump from one to the next feel logical and worthwhile.
  • Encourage Loyalty: Customers who see you’ve thought through their options are more likely to trust your recommendations and return for future purchases.


How Bundling Works in quote•hapily
With quote•hapily, setting up and selling tiered bundles is intuitive and seamless. Here’s how to make it happen:

  1. Create Products
    Begin by adding your individual products, services, or discounts to HubSpot. Each item is a “building block” for your bundles.



  2. Build Bundles
    Use quote•hapily to group products into bundles. Choose between two pricing methods:

    Header Pricing: Set a flat price for the bundle (e.g., $45 for Chilly Chic).
    Member Pricing: Calculate bundle prices dynamically based on the sum of included items.




  3. Apply Discounts
    Sweeten the deal with discounts on mid-tier or premium bundles. For example, offer 15% off the Chilly Chic bundle to encourage upgrades.



  4. Step 4: Use Price Books
    Organize your bundles in a Price Book to make quoting fast and error-free for your sales team.
