What Are Bundles?
Bundles in Forento allow you to package products together and sell them at a one-time price, providing your customers with a great deal on a set of related content. Unlike Memberships, which operate on a subscription model, Bundles are designed for creators who want to offer high-ticket items that provide substantial value in a single purchase.
Bundles are perfect for selling multiple products at once, helping you increase your revenue without requiring ongoing payments.
Why Offer Bundles?
Offering Bundles is an effective way to increase your sales and provide more value to your audience in a single transaction. Bundles allow you to group related products into a high-value offer that customers can’t resist. This approach works particularly well for creators who:
Have multiple complementary products or courses they want to sell together.
Want to keep the value of each transaction as high as possible (high-ticket sales)
By offering a Bundle, you can increase the perceived value of your content and encourage customers to buy more at once, leading to higher revenue and a more streamlined sales process.
What Types of Products Can Be Included?
With Bundles in Forento, you can include a wide range of your existing products. You have full flexibility over which items to package together, and you can create a unique experience tailored to your audience. You can include:
🎓 Courses Group several courses into a comprehensive learning experience.
📥 Downloadables Bundle e-books, guides, templates, or other digital downloads.
🎥 Videos Offer a series of tutorial videos or workshops within a single Bundle.
📅 Events Include access to live events, workshops, or webinars as part of the Bundle.
👥 Sessions Offer multiple coaching or consulting sessions in a single Bundle.
Whether it’s a mix of formats or an all-in-one product type, Bundles let you create highly appealing offers for your audience. Learn more about the different product types available, here: 🛒 Products on Forento.
How to Create a Bundle
To create a Bundle, navigate to your Forento dashboard and go to Bundles. Click Create New. You’ll be prompted to enter some core details for your Bundle, such as Name, Short description, and Price.
Next, you'll be prompted to enter a long description, upload a thumbnail, and select the products to include in your Bundle.
See below for a step-by-step guide to creating your Bundle.
Name
This is the title for your Bundle. Keep it concise (ideally fewer than five words) while clearly representing the value the Bundle provides.
Short Description
Provide a brief overview of the Bundle’s value in just a sentence or two. This should be catchy and informative, typically between 20-50 characters.
Pro Tip: Consistent short descriptions across your Bundles help create a clean and organized interface for your users, especially if you offer multiple Bundles with different themes.
Long Description
The description allows you to elaborate on the contents and value of the Bundle. You can format the text to include bold, italics, bullet points, and more, helping you highlight key benefits and features. Use this section to showcase the Bundle’s value, explain the products included, and build excitement.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail visually represents the Bundle on your Academy. Choose an engaging and visually appealing image that reflects the theme or value of the Bundle. This thumbnail should align with your brand and make the offer feel attractive.
Included Products
In this section, you can select which products will be included in the Bundle. Any published products with a price will appear here, and you can choose from a range of product types, such as courses, digital downloads, videos, events, and sessions. You can add or remove products from your Bundle even after it’s published.
Pro Tip: Double-check the pricing and availability settings of your products to ensure they are eligible for inclusion in the Bundle.
Pricing
For Bundles, you’ll need to set a one-time price. This price will apply to the entire collection of products in the Bundle. Consider the value of the products included, and set a price that reflects that value while still appealing to your audience. Bundles are perfect for offering a “discounted” rate compared to buying products individually.
Pro Tip: Bundles offer a fantastic way to create premium, high-ticket offers. You can experiment with different price points to see what resonates best with your audience. If your Bundle offers significant value, a higher price may encourage customers to purchase more at once, generating a larger revenue in a single sale.
