(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Marketing Dive, 2026 Black Friday trends show retailers moving away from single-item doorbusters and toward bundled promotions that increase basket size and reduce customer acquisition cost.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): a doorbuster trains customers to wait for the deepest discount on a single item, which erodes your year-round margin. A bundle discount trains them to buy more items at once. Test this: instead of 40% off your hero product, run 25% off when customers buy your hero + a complementary item + a consumable refill. The bundle discount is lower (25% vs. 40%), but the bundle sale is higher. The move: run a three-item bundle at 20-25% off in your November email and paid ads, position it as a Black Friday exclusive, and measure AOV against your previous Black Friday single-item promotions.\nWhat that means for you: The data is in—doorbusters are dead because they train customers to be price hunters. Bundles work because they let you discount the total without destroying the margin on any single SKU. It also gives you a reason to feature complementary products that might not sell on their own. This is not trendy; it is just math. If you are still running single-item Black Friday deals, you are leaving AOV on the floor.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Marketing Dive: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiqwFBVV95cUxPdThqNnZjbDJTSjFTRjBzSDZPaXM2MVpCd2kzeGtSVWc1SVhHQXVXZEtpd1ZJVmYyaTdzVS1pWkRtNjZjQnFsdW9UanlEQm5ncH.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
