Tips for Creating Offers

Best practices on how to ensure your offer is performing well (sellers)

Updated over a week ago

We're often asked, “How can I make my offer better?”

Here are a few tips to get you started!

Tip #1: Have a buyer-first philosophy

Give value upfront & keep the barrier for entry as low as possible.

Bad Example: “ 30% off" where buyers still have to input their credit card details & commit to 1 year of service.

Good Example: "6 months free" where they get to try the service without commitment.

Tip #2: Offer Structure

The best-performing offers on Builtfirst are "X Months Free" or "$X in credits".

These offers perform better than "X% Off" because it lowers the barrier to entry and the value of the offer is crystal-clear.

Another Bad Example: An offer without clear monetary value, such as "Free Spending Analysis" or "Free Consultation". It's not necessarily clear what's being saved here, but if this is your offer you can clarify the value by specifying a Savings Amount when creating your offer.

Tip #3: Get Creative!

Thinking outside the box of what you can offer from a value standpoint that doesn't have to do with using a product but that you know would affect their kind of propensity to get over the initial hump and convert to that trial!

Another Good Example: “1 Month Free + Free Ticket to Dreamforce”. Timed well, this could really catch a buyer's interest. Taking it a step further, you could add an expiration date in the offer description

We hope these tips help you get on the right path to creating your next deal!
