Alex Hormozi on Bonuses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Alex Hormozi, bonuses\u2014extra items or services presented as \u201cfree\u201d\u2014can significantly enhance the attractiveness of your offer. The key is to increase the price of your product so that you can add extra items and frame them as free to the customer<\/strong>. This makes the customer feel like they’re getting an exceptional deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you might say, \u201cAt no additional cost, we\u2019ll give you five accessories to go with your new gadget.\u201d This offer appears more generous than the gadget alone, even if you\u2019ve already factored in the price for those bonus items. If you add bonuses one after another to your original offer, the deal becomes increasingly irresistible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timing of when you reveal bonuses can also impact their effectiveness<\/strong>. Hormozi recommends that you offer bonuses after<\/em> you pitch a product by itself: Start by presenting the main offer, and if the customer decides to purchase it, offering them a bonus afterward will be a pleasant surprise that adds value. If they\u2019re hesitant initially, and then you offer the bonus, this can tip the scales in your favor. By offering an unexpected extra \u201cgift,\u201d you create a sense of obligation. The customer will want to repay your apparent generosity by accepting the new offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a \u201cPerceived Value,\u201d & Then Exceed It<\/strong>

This strategy works by leveraging the psychological principle of perceived value<\/a> to create a compelling proposition for customers. When you first set a price for a product, it establishes an anchor point in the customer\u2019s mind, effectively defining how much they believe that item is worth. This initial valuation then becomes the baseline against which any additional offerings are measured.

So, by then adding extra products or services at no additional cost (often called bundling<\/a>), you increase that perceived value without changing the price. Since the customer\u2019s perception of the original product\u2019s worth remains tied to the initial price point, these bonus items are seen as pure added value. This strategy effectively amplifies the perceived benefit-to-cost ratio in the customer\u2019s mind, making them feel as though they\u2019re getting significantly more value for their money.\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
