Bear Grips Pro ShopsChampion Apparel Bundles: Building Sets That Raise Average Order Value
- A bundle pairs a Champion piece with a second product from the catalog and prices them as a set.
- Tee-and-jogger and hoodie-and-hat are the two most natural Champion bundle combinations.
- Bundling does not change the base price, it changes how the retail price and profit are presented to the customer.
- Every Bear Grips signup also gets an affiliate link, so a bundle that sells well is also worth sharing when referring other vendors.
A single Champion crewneck sells once. A Champion crewneck bundled with a matching jogger sells twice in one order, at a higher total ticket than either piece would fetch alone. Bundling is one of the simplest ways to raise average order value on a Pro Shops storefront, and it works especially well with the Champion pieces because of the price they can already support.
What a Bundle Actually Changes
Bundling is a merchandising and pricing choice, not a different production process. Each piece in a bundle still prints and ships individually at its own base price. The vendor simply lists and prices them together so the customer sees a complete set rather than a single item.
Two Champion Bundle Combinations That Work
| Bundle | Pieces | Combined VIP base |
|---|---|---|
| Tee and jogger set | Champion Crewneck Sweatshirt ($41.88) + Men's Midweight Performance Joggers ($40.88) | $82.76 |
| Cold-weather kit | Champion Performance Hoodie ($45.88) + Flat Bill Snapback Hat ($29.86) | $75.74 |
Pricing a Bundle Without Losing Margin
Price the bundle slightly below what the two pieces would cost bought separately at their individual retail prices, but comfortably above the combined base cost. On the tee and jogger set above, a combined base of $82.76 priced at $109 to $129 as a set leaves $26 to $46 in profit while still reading as a deal to the customer.
Bundles and the Built-In Affiliate Program
Every Bear Grips signup, free or paid, gets a shop and an affiliate link at the same time. Referring another vendor earns 10 percent of their subscription for as long as they stay subscribed, plus $1 for every unit they sell, paid out bi-weekly. A bundle that performs well in your own shop is a useful, concrete example to point to when recruiting other vendors through that affiliate link.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Does bundling change how the products are printed or shipped?
No. Each piece in a bundle still prints and ships individually at its own base price. Bundling only changes how you price and present them together.
What is a simple first bundle to try with Champion pieces?
The Champion crewneck paired with a jogger, or the Champion hoodie paired with an embroidered hat, both work as a two-piece set.
Does a bundle need a special listing type?
No special listing type is required. List it as its own product, or note the pairing in the description of both pieces.
How does the affiliate program relate to bundles?
Every vendor also gets an affiliate link. A bundle that sells well in your own shop is a useful example to share when referring other vendors, since referrals earn 10 percent of their subscription plus $1 per unit they sell.
