Is selling premium currency still fun? Not really if it comes alone. Creating bundles and offering currency with other items for added value is proven to be more effective. This article will look into the best practices for creating such offers and how you can add them to your shop today.
What are permanent offers, and why do you need them?
It’s common for permanent offers to come as a pack of currency and several consumables players use during their core gameplay sessions. Some extra resources for meta-gameplay are also good to have.
Bundles give an excellent chance to highlight discounts, which is a good marketing tactic. There is a kind of ‘buy one – get one for free’ flavor, where a ‘free’ part can be anything. Everybody loves free bonuses, gifts, and discounts. Not only a pack of coins but a bunch of other valuable items and resources for the same price? Tell me more!
Usually, such bundles are permanently available in the in-game shop. However, it’s a good idea to revise and change some content from time to time based on what product analytics tells you.
Of course, there are many options in terms of visual design. Should you show a value multiplier or not? Is it reasonable to add motivational labels such as ‘best offer’? How many additional consumables to put into a bundle? Combining multiple monetization features allows developers to make unique offers and check what design works best.
