When is a good time to start bundling your products?

Do you have a product that would pair really well with another product and is a perfect fit for bundling? Would it give you an advantage among your competitors? If so, you really should consider bundling your product. Instead of just having a bundled or unbundled product option, Scott encourages sellers to have three distinct SKU’s, one for the main product, one separate for the product that you want to add to the bundle, and then a distinct SKU for the two products bundled together. If you’d like to hear Scott explain this process in more detail, listen to this episode of The Amazing Seller!
