Thoughts:
“One bonus is better than none. Two bonuses make people rush to buy.”
“If your bonus can’t stand alone, it won’t stand out.”
“In Ecommerce, the fastest way to win is to give them more than they expect.”
Every time I see people buy things online or offline, I like to study the customer buying trigger and the seller strategy.
I was buying suya one night.
The guy in front of me ordered ₦2k worth.
The suya guy sliced it, packed it… then told him that he wanted to add an extra piece.
The man’s face lit up like Christmas light.
That extra piece was probably ₦100 worth of meat.
But it made him feel like he’d just gotten the best deal in the world.
He left smiling, already planning to come back.
That’s when it hit me – customers are not just buying the main thing.
They’re buying the feeling that they got more than they paid for.
Here’s the truth that most struggling Ecommerce sellers don’t want to accept:
Your product alone is rarely enough to make people buy right now.
Everybody is shouting “buy my product.”
The ones making daily sales are shouting “buy my product and I’ll give you this… and this… and this.”
One bonus is better than zero.
Two is better than one.
And when each bonus can stand alone (meaning they are valuable even without your main product), your offer becomes irresistible.
It’s not cheating. It’s psychology.
How To Use Bonuses To Make Millions
1. Stand-Alone Bonuses Only
A weak bonus is like selling a car and saying the bonus is “free car mats.”
Nobody is leaving their house just to buy mats.
A strong bonus solves a real problem even if they never touch your main product.
Selling a blender? Give them a Smoothie Recipe Guide or a 7-Day Weight Loss Meal Plan.
They can use that plan with a blender they already have. That’s power.
Think of it like akara and bread.
Bread can stand on its own, akara can stand on its own.
But when you put them together… magic.
That’s how your bonus and main product should feel – good alone, irresistible together.
2. Stack Until It’s Stupid
Your goal? Make them pause and think…
“Wait, am I crazy if I don’t buy this?”
That’s the moment you’ve overloaded them on purpose.
Just like big brands do during Black Friday – buy a phone, get earbuds, a case, 6 months of free data, and a free power bank.
Even if they don’t need half of it, the pile makes it feel like a once-in-a-lifetime steal.
In Ecommerce, you can do the same.
Sell a skincare cream and stack bonuses like a Morning Skincare Routine PDF, Free Face Massage Mask, and Discount Code for Next Purchase.
By the time they finish reading the offer, their brain is already screaming “YES.”
3. Value > Cost
The smartest bonuses cost you peanuts but feel like gold to your customer.
A ₦1,000 bonus that feels like ₦10,000 in value makes your ₦20,000 product look like a joke in price.
That’s why supermarkets still do “buy one, get one free”
The “free” item is already in the price, but your brain is wired to see it as a win.
Just like we add free delivery to our product price, but to the customer – it’s irresistible.
Digital bonuses are even crazier.
A simple video guide, checklist, or template might take you one day to make.
But it can sell for years without costing you a kobo more.
That’s why smart sellers keep adding them.
Sometimes the bonus is the real reason people buy.
The main product just becomes the “extra.”
If you get your bonuses right, you’ll see customers buying faster, paying more, and telling friends about it.
Not because of the main thing you sell, but because of the sweet “extras” they couldn’t resist.
The sellers cleaning up in Nigerian Ecommerce right now aren’t necessarily selling better products than you.
They’re just structuring their offers better than you.
They know how to stack bonuses until the customer feels stupid saying no.
They know how to make each bonus a stand-alone magnet.
And they know exactly what to offer to trigger instant buying decisions.
