Boost Your Shopify Store’s Average Order Value
Get more from every shopper. Proven strategies to grow order size, boost sales, and make this Black Friday Cyber Monday your most successful season.
Bundle Offers
Combine products that shoppers naturally buy together and offer a small discount. It makes buying more feel like a better deal without cutting too deep into profits.
Tiered Discounts
Offer increasing discounts for higher cart values to motivate shoppers to spend more. For example, 10% off orders above $50 and 20% off orders above $100. It pushes customers to add “just one more thing.”
Free Shipping Thresholds
Shoppers love free shipping. Set free shipping above a certain cart value — and make that number visible across your site so it motivates customers to reach it.
Product Add-Ons
Recommend small, relevant items at checkout that complement what’s already in the cart — a simple way to increase total value without being pushy.
Limited-Time Upsells
Create urgency by featuring short-timed offers or countdown deals on higher-value items. When shoppers know time’s running out, they’re more likely to upgrade.
Volume Discounts
Perfect for products people buy in bulk — like essentials or gifts. Encourage shoppers by offering small discounts when they want to buy more units with bulk pricing options.
Gift With Purchase
Offer small gifts or freebies for orders above a set amount to boost perceived value. It gives shoppers that extra nudge to spend more and feels like a “thank you.”
Loyalty Points Boost
During BFCM, give extra loyalty points for larger orders. It makes customers feel rewarded now — and more likely to return later.
Exclusive BFCM Kits
Create limited-edition product bundles just for the holiday season. It’s a great way to raise cart value and make your store feel festive and special.
Cross-Sell Recommendations
Suggest related or frequently bought-together items while customers browse or checkout. Small reminders can lead to big cart totals.
Boost Your Shopify Store’s BFCM Conversions
Turn traffic into sales with strategies created for Shopify stores. Increase conversion rates, reduce
cart abandonment, and make every visitor count this holiday season.
Optimized Checkout Flow
Simplify checkout with guest checkout, autofill options, and minimal steps to prevent cart abandonment. Make sure it works smoothly on both desktop and mobile. Every extra click costs conversions.
Urgency & Scarcity
Let shoppers know when time or stock is running out. Highlight limited stock, countdown timers, and seasonal deals to create FOMO (Fear of missing out) and drive immediate action.
Mobile-First Design
Make sure your store loads fast, buttons are easy to tap, doesn’t include unnecessary pop-ups and checkout fits small screens perfectly, as most BFCM shoppers browse and buy on mobile.
High-Impact Product Pages
Give shoppers all the info they need to decide fast and convert confidently — great visuals, short and clear descriptions, honest reviews, FAQs (frequently asked questions) and maybe even short demo videos.
Abandoned Cart Recovery
Don’t let potential sales slip away. Send timely friendly reminders with personalized limited-time discounts or small incentives to recover lost sales and increase conversions.
Trust & Social Proof
Reassure hesitant shoppers with visible secure payment badges, clear return policies, and customer reviews. The more credible your store looks, the more confident buyers feel.
Targeted Discounts & Personalization
Show the right offer to the right person. Use customer data based on their shopping behavior to offer personalized promotions, product recommendations, or VIP perks and increase purchase likelihood.
Fast Store Performance
Your site speed can make or break conversions, especially during peak BFCM hours. Optimize theme speed, image compression, and server response to reduce load times, preventing drop-offs during peak BFCM traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about preparing your Shopify store for BFCM 2025? Here are the most common queries merchants have — answered with practical insights to help you make the most of BFCM 2025.
BFCM is the biggest online shopping weekend of the year — last year, 67,000+ Shopify merchants had their highest sales day ever. With shoppers hunting for deals, it’s your best chance to attract new buyers, clear stock, and maximize year-end profits.
This offer includes a complete Shopify store setup by Mastroke’s expert team — up to 10–15 pages, product uploads (10–15 items), wishlist and review app integration, and basic payment, shipping, and marketing tool guidance.
Because competition gets intense. Start prepping your store 3-4 weeks early to ensure you have enough time to fix bugs, optimize speed, plan campaigns, and test offers. The earlier you start, the smoother your store runs when traffic spikes.
Offer unique bundles, add countdown timers, use personalized discounts, and refresh your visuals to match the festive theme. Small touches like urgency, gifting options, and exclusive deals can make a big difference.
Start with email and SMS campaigns, build your ad audiences early, and tease your offers through social media. Warming up your existing customers can drive quick sales once your deals go live.
Absolutely! We can audit your existing store, recommend improvements for conversions and speed, and even redesign sections to make sure your storefront performs its best during BFCM.
Waiting till the last minute, ignoring mobile performance, skipping testing, and running too many discounts without strategy. Focus on solid store setup, clear offers, and consistent promotion to avoid these pitfalls.
Start by optimizing your store speed, checking app compatibility, and ensuring your hosting can handle heavy traffic. Test everything — from checkout to payment gateways — before the big weekend.
Begin with the basics: update your theme, polish product pages, plan irresistible offers, and test your checkout flow. Then build your marketing calendar — emails, ads, and social teasers leading up to BFCM.
It depends on your margins and goals. For high-margin items, go big. Otherwise, create smart bundles or tiered discounts that increase cart value without slashing profits.
Follow up with post-purchase emails, promote new arrivals, and offer loyalty perks to keep momentum. Analyze what worked and what didn’t — it sets the foundation for next year’s sales.
