Why Holiday Merch Bundles Are Powerful Revenue Drivers
Holiday merch bundles don’t just look appealing - they're great revenue drivers during the gift-giving time of year.
1. Bundles increase Average Order Value (AOV)
When shoppers see products packaged together, they’re more likely to buy multiple items at once. Even pairing two low-cost items like mugs and tote bags can raise your AOV by 20–40%.
2. They reduce decision fatigue
Holiday shoppers want simplicity. Bundles eliminate guesswork by presenting them with curated products that go together. They don't have to search the internet for different gifts when presented with curated options.
3. They’re perfect for holiday promotions
Discounts are a great incentive to encourage purchases - and Spreadshop runs exclusive promotions every month. Feature bundles in social posts and mention promotions with eye-catching graphics and captions.

How to Promote Bundles on Socials
Promoting your bundles is just as important as creating them. Here’s how to get your bundles in front of the right customers during the holiday rush:
1. Post a carousel showing what’s inside the bundle
Use photos/mockups of each item + the full set together.
2. Use captions like:
“For the pet parent”
“Holiday gifts made easy”
“Ready-to-gift bundles now in my shop”
3. Add a “Holiday Bundles” collection to your shop
Make it easy for buyers to browse sets quickly.
4. Take advantage of promotions
Even a small incentive (like a “Festive Bundle Deal”) pushes buyers to complete their purchase.
