D2C E-commerce: Beyond the "Buy Now" Button

The One-Time Purchase Trap

If your entire business model relies on the first sale, you are vulnerable to rising ad costs (CPM). The profit is in the Second Sale.

Maximizing AOV (Average Order Value)

1. Order Bump: “Add mystery socks for $5?” (Pre-checkout). Conversion: 15-20%.
2. One-Click Upsell: “Wait! Get a second pair for 50% off.” (Post-checkout). The credit card is already entered. Friction is zero.

The Unboxing Experience

Your marketing doesn’t stop when they buy.

• Include a handwritten note.
• Include a distinct “Share this on Instagram for 10% off” card.

Turn customers into advocates.
