Solution

To avoid diminishing the perceived value of the products, we chose against traditional discount promotions and instead implemented a goodie concept.
For every order above a defined minimum value we added the mini version of our bestselling face cream “The Glow” as a free add-on.
This strategy had several benefits:

Creating attractive incentives: The free gift motivated customers to purchase without creating the impression of a discount offer.

Increasing the average order value (AOV): The required minimum order value caused the AOV to rise significantly.

Increasing product awareness: Distributing the mini version of the bestseller raised awareness of the product among new customers and motivated further purchases of the full-size version.

Results

The “The Glow for Free” campaign led to immediate sales success and an outstanding conversion value with a ROAS of 13.43. The cost per purchase was just €4.82, with an AOV of over €57 – a result that is normally only achieved through heavy discounts.

This promotion was a resounding success for This Place. The strategic decision to use free goodies instead of discounts not only enabled a significant revenue increase but also preserved the exclusivity of the products. The insights gained from this campaign provide a solid foundation for planning future marketing activities and demonstrate that creative, value-preserving approaches can effectively increase both revenue and AOV.

This Place has proven that through careful planning and implementation of customer-oriented promotions, impressive results can be achieved that contribute to long-term brand strengthening and customer loyalty.
