An effective way to increase your profits and sales is
to bundle many products or services together into one
package. This gives people more reasons to buy your
products and services. People also have come to
believe package deals are a better value. You want
all the products or services to be closely related. For
example: if you're selling a computer you could add in
software, hardware, computer furniture, etc.

There are many ways to go about choosing the right
products or services to bundle into one package. You
could survey your customers and see what products
or services they would like you to offer in the future.
Spy on your competition and see what products and
services they're offering or not offering. If you would
like to, bundle unrelated products or services together,
ask your customers which ones would be of interest
to them.

Bundling can also increase your target markets which
in return would give you a larger audience to sell your
products and services. For example: if you're selling a
baseball magazine you could add a free baseball when
someone buys a subscription. You're now targeting
people who want the baseball magazine and those that
want to play baseball out in the yard. Some people
buy a package deal just to get one of the products.

There are many sources where you can find products
and services to create a package deal. You can buy
them from wholesalers or drop shippers. You can
buy the reproduction/resell rights to other people's
products. Team-up with your competition to create
a package deal. You could joint venture or cross
promotion deal with other businesses. You could also
create your own products and services. Be creative!
