Service Bundles That Sell Themselves
Stop selling individual treatments. Bundles increase revenue and make decisions easier for clients.

"What do you recommend?"
Clients ask this all the time. They're overwhelmed by options. They want guidance.
Service bundles are that guidance—packaged and priced to benefit everyone.
Why bundles work
For clients:
- Simpler decisions
- Perceived value (savings)
- Complete experience
- Feels curated and premium
For you:
- Higher average ticket
- Predictable service time
- Introduces clients to new services
- Easier to schedule
The psychology of bundling
When faced with many choices, people freeze. It's called decision fatigue.
Bundles reduce cognitive load:
"Choose from 47 services" → Overwhelming
"Choose from 3 signature experiences" → Easy
You're not limiting options. You're curating them.
Bundle types that work
The Signature Experience
Your most popular services, packaged together.
Example: "The Complete Refresh"
- 60-min massage
- Express facial
- Scalp treatment
- Price: $180 (vs. $210 à la carte)
This becomes your flagship—what you're known for.
The First-Timer
Designed for new clients to sample multiple services.
Example: "New to Us"
- Consultation
- Mini facial
- Hand treatment
- Price: $75 (introductory)
Low commitment, high value, builds relationship.
The Maintenance Package
For regulars who come monthly.
Example: "Monthly Glow"
- 4 facials (one per month)
- 10% off retail during package
- Price: $320 (vs. $360)
Locks in recurring revenue.
The Special Occasion
For events, celebrations, or gifting.
Example: "Bridal Prep"
- Pre-wedding facial (1 week before)
- Day-of makeup
- Mimosa and relaxation
- Price: $250
Emotional purchase, higher margins.
How to price bundles
The sweet spot: 10-20% discount vs. individual pricing.
Less than 10%: Doesn't feel like a deal. More than 20%: You're giving away too much.
Example calculation:
- Service A: $80
- Service B: $60
- Service C: $40
- Total à la carte: $180
- Bundle price: $150-160 (15-17% off)
Naming matters
Generic names don't sell:
- "Facial + Massage Package" ❌
Evocative names create desire:
- "The Sunday Reset" ✅
- "Total Renewal Experience" ✅
- "The Stress Melter" ✅
The name should promise a feeling, not list components.
Where to feature bundles
On your booking page:
- Top of the service menu
- Separate "Experiences" section
- With photos and descriptions
In-salon:
- Menu cards
- Wall display
- Mentioned during consultation
Online:
- Social media features
- Gift card options
- Email campaigns
Seasonal bundles
Rotate offerings to create urgency:
Spring: "Spring Awakening" - Renewal, exfoliation focus
Summer: "Beach Ready" - Hair, skin prep
Fall: "Autumn Reset" - Repair summer damage
Winter: "Holiday Glow" - Party prep, gifting
Limited-time bundles create FOMO and give you content to promote.
Track what sells
Not all bundles will hit. Track:
- Which bundles sell most
- Which services are most requested as add-ons
- Average ticket with vs. without bundles
- Bundle vs. à la carte ratio
Double down on winners. Retire losers.
Start simple
You don't need 10 bundles.
Start with:
- One signature bundle (your best-seller combo)
- One first-timer bundle (low barrier)
- One seasonal bundle (rotate quarterly)
See what works. Expand from there.
Make decisions easier, revenue higher
Bundles aren't about discounting. They're about packaging value in a way that serves clients and grows your business.
👉 Vinci 26 lets you create service packages with custom pricing, durations, and descriptions—easy to book, easy to track.
