How To Make a BOGO Deal In WooCommerce?
Using the Advanced Coupons WordPress plugin, let’s see how to make a BOGO deal in WooCommerce.
If you plan to use the free version plugin, log in to your WordPress blog, and install the Advanced Coupons Lite WordPress plugin.
Once you have installed it, simply activate the plugin.
You can see the plugins’ settings under the coupons section.
You can configure the global BOGO settings from there.
If you do not want to change any values there, leave them blank. The main configuration will be happening when we create coupons. In the coupon rules section, we can configure the BOGO deal.
So, create a coupon for your WooCommerce shop.
You can enter a code manually or generate one. That’s totally up to you.
Under the coupon data section, you can see an option for configuring BOGO deals.
And that’s the settings we need to modify. You can see two main rules there.
- Trigger Type.
- Apply Type.
In the free version plugin, you can only select Specific Products as the trigger and apply types. But if you use the premium version plugin, you can choose Any Combination of Products and Any Categories in the field.
In our demo WooCommerce store, we have several dummy products. So, we will show you the tutorial using any of those products.
Add a product to the trigger type section.
In the apply type, you will be able to customize the discount.
There are three discount options.
- Override Price.
- Percentage Discount.
- Fixed Discount.
Choose the first option if you need to set a custom price for the second product. Your users can get a custom percentage discount on their orders by choosing the percentage discount option.
The third option will allow you to set a custom amount discount for the product. In our case, we will set a 100% discount on the order. So, choose the second option, and add 100% in the field.
If you create a BOGO deal for multiple products, you might want to add them all in the apply field. Once you have done this, move to the bottom section. There, you will see the additional settings.
After configuring everything, click on the Save BOGO Deals button. It will go live now. When a user adds the first product to his cart, apply the coupon just saved, he will get a notification on the screen. From there, he can add the second product to his cart without paying extra!
That’s it!
So this is how you can create a BOGO deal inside WooCommerce.
How To Promote BOGO Deals?
We have successfully created a deal inside our shop now. The next thing we need to do is, promote it and let the website visitors or your customers know. Thankfully, there are several methods available for it.
Send Email Newsletters
If you are running an online shop, you probably got an email list. Try to send newsletters regarding your limited-time deals. If you have entered the URL in the mail, the subscribers can land on the page with a single mouse click.
This can be done from your email marketing service. The famous ones are MailChimp, Brevo, AWeber, ConvertKit, etc.
Use Popups
With a powerful lead generation plugin like OptinMonster or Bloom, we can create popup campaigns without using any codes. And we can use the same for promoting our deals. Let’s say we have created an exit-intent campaign using the OptinMonster app containing our deal information.
So when a visitor goes back, the popup will be triggered. If you have added a direct URL to the deal, the user will probably check it.
This way, we can reduce the lost leads.
