Package Deals That Double Your Average Booking Value
Create irresistible package deals that increase average transaction value while providing more value to clients.
Stop selling single sessions when clients want transformation. Strategic package deals don’t just increase revenue—they deliver better results, improve retention, and transform one-time buyers into committed clients. Here’s how to double your average booking value with packages that sell themselves.
The Package Psychology
Why Clients Love Packages
- Commitment devices for better results
- Bulk discount satisfaction
- Reduced decision fatigue
- Feeling of investment in themselves
- VIP treatment perception
Why You Should Love Them More
- Upfront cash flow
- Reduced acquisition costs
- Higher lifetime value
- Predictable scheduling
- Stronger client relationships
The Three-Package Framework
Package 1: The Starter (3 sessions)
Positioning: “Perfect for trying our service” Discount: 5-10% Psychology: Low commitment, easy yes Target: New clients, gift buyers
Package 2: The Transformer (6 sessions)
Positioning: “Our most popular choice for real results” Discount: 15% Psychology: Optimal value, social proof Target: Motivated clients, results-seekers
Package 3: The VIP (12 sessions)
Positioning: “Complete transformation program” Discount: 20-25% + bonuses Psychology: Maximum value, status symbol Target: Committed clients, best customers
Always present three options—psychology shows the middle option wins 60% of the time.

Timing Your Package Offers
Best Moments to Sell
After First Service (40% conversion): “You responded really well today. To maintain these results, I recommend our 6-session package.”
During Results Discussion (35% conversion): “To achieve your goals, you’ll need about 8 sessions. Our package saves you $200.”
At Rebooking (25% conversion): “Before you book single sessions, let me show you how much you’d save with a package.”
Seasonal Opportunities
- January: “New Year Transformation”
- Spring: “Summer Ready Package”
- September: “Back-to-Routine Bundle”
- November: “Holiday Prep Package”
Pricing Psychology That Converts
The Anchor Effect
Always show individual session price first: “Individual sessions are $100 each. OR get 6 sessions for just $450—that’s like getting 1.5 sessions free!”
The Urgency Play
“Package prices increase next month. Lock in current rates by purchasing this week.”
The Payment Options
Offer flexibility:
- Full payment: Maximum discount
- 2 payments: Slightly less discount
- Monthly: Convenience fee but accessible
Staff Training for Package Sales
The Consultative Approach
Not: “Want to buy a package?” But: “Based on your goals, here’s what I recommend…”
Overcoming Objections
“It’s too expensive” “Let’s break it down—it’s just $40/week for transformative results. Plus you’re saving $150 versus individual sessions.”
“I want to try one first” “Absolutely! After your first session, you can apply today’s payment toward any package.”
“I need to think about it” “Of course! I’ll send you the details. Keep in mind, this pricing is only available until [date].”
