Do you offer Bonuses to Your Buyers?



What sort of Bonuses do you offer?



What do you think works best?

[anarchofighter]

I often set up gigs so that there are bonuses. It’s a case by case basis. Because a bonus that is of no immediate use to a buyer is just noise.



All my bonuses are various information products that enhance what they ordered from me.

[creativeman]

Great idea anarchofighter, more targeted bonuses. Currently I guess mine is a noisy lollie scramble to be honest haha

[wingle]

Yes i do provide, and what i provide is depends on my mood 🙂



I usually include some GIG EXTRAS as bonus for buyer or one free gig on second purchase etc.

[wingle]

Giving surprise BONUS always works best and i end up getting more sales or an awesome review 🙂

Now coffee, I’ve never had anyone send coffee all the way to me in New Zealand, that would be great!

Reply to @creativeman: That is a Virtual Coffee listed in my GIGs lol

I often do simply because the gig they requested won’t do justice to the project they want, so I add extra and I politely tell them where I went all out, and I give them two version, this way they get something extra and they know next time to get the gig extras.

I offer a gig extra where buyers can get 3 images for the price of $10 - instead of $15, which works alright.

Great ideas everyone, I guess bonuses are the way to go, I’ve recently spruced mine up from an ugly text document to hyperlinked pdf with pictures. What do you guys think about buyers opting in to autoresponders for offering future discounts etc. Has anyone of you tried offering that?

That would involve getting in touch with them outside of Fiverr. That is against the rules and would probably lead to anybody offering that to lose their acccount.

Good point ryangillam.

I’ve given something like 50% off your next order. Mostly for repeat buyers or those who have bulk projects.

Reply to @andrea777: Excellent idea andrea777, always reward loyalty =)

Offering bonuses is a great idea, but I think not all gigs are good for bonuses. I am still new at this, but I offer an extra bonus to my first 10 buyers. Hope to get some initial push up with this 🙂

[voiceoverwork]

I don’t ‘offer’ a bonus, but do include a bonus when I deliver as a way of saying thank you for the opportunity to be of service. I reward repeat buyers with incentives/bonuses. However, it’s all back-end, post purchase.

[adnagam]

I include a bonus with all orders as part of the whole “under promise and over deliver” thing.

[creativeman]

Everyone likes a positive expected surprise I guess.

[animusargentis]

I most certainly do! I make sure to always include a little surprise.

[animusargentis]

Every one of my orders comes with a small surprise - usually some sort of product advertising, a graphic or the like. I’ve even given twenty dollars off on a bulk order. My customers are always delighted.

[creativeman]

Was it a book review bulk order that you gave $20 off? I see you have a number of gigs regarding that.

[armer]

I give bonus for returning costumers.

The kind of the bonus depends on the costumer, my mood and the nature of the gig.

[Guest lissa_1]

I often, but not always, give my Buyers 10-20% more than I offer in my gig. It just depends on whether the content needs it. Sometime it’s just not necessary. It doesn’t matter if they are returning or not. Return Buyers are highly valued by me and I may even go an extra mile for them.

[istvanszaboifj]

Sometimes I give them a bonus, but it depends on the customer (Mostly returning customers). If the customer let me to work, instead of trying to be smart and lecture me how to do my job, I usually give some sort of bonus as I love when I can work and use my skills without interuption. Afterall, that’s why they’re paying me.

Hello, everyone.

I do give revisions to everyone, but my returning clients get most of the benefits, for example-better prices (I tend to set up special packages for their needs with a discount prices), even when not requested I sendthem an extra file and things like that. It really works great, those things don’t really cost me a thing but the buyers love it.

Once I read a topic on this forum and it said it pays off to overdeliver. I agree with that and recommend it to everyone.
