Create Free Gift Promotion
A Free Gift promotion rewards customers with a free item when they meet specific criteria, such as spending a certain amount or buying particular items. This is an excellent strategy to boost your average order value (AOV).
Info
This guide explains how to set up a standard free gift offer. For multi-tier gifts, refer to the Volume Discount documentation.
Step-by-Step Setup
Select Promotion Type
From your Yaki dashboard, click on Create Promotion and select the Free Gift template.
Configure the Trigger
Decide what action triggers the free gift. You can choose:
- Minimum cart subtotal (e.g., Spend $100)
- Specific product purchase (e.g., Buy the Signature Jacket)
- Collection purchase (e.g., Buy any item from Summer Collection)
Select the Gift Product
Choose the product you want to offer for free. Make sure you have sufficient inventory.
Best Practices
Pro Tip
Set your minimum spend threshold 15-20% higher than your current Average Order Value to maximize revenue growth.
Note
The free gift is automatically added to the customer's cart. If they remove the triggering items, the gift will also be removed.
Limitations
Warning
Do not select a gift product that requires customer input (e.g., custom engraving text) unless you have enabled the "Gift Options" setting.
Success
Once you activate the promotion, it goes live immediately. Customers will instantly see the offer on the storefront.
