Boost Your Sales with Custom Add-Ons on Mercury Online

Your website is more than a digital storefront—it’s often the first impression your customers have of your shop. One simple way to enhance that experience and maximize the value of every order is by offering custom add-ons.

Why Add-Ons Matter

Customers want their gifts to feel personal and memorable. By offering thoughtful extras like chocolates, balloons, candles, vases, or plush gifts, you give shoppers more ways to tailor their purchase to the occasion. Instead of buying just flowers, they’re creating a complete gifting experience.

This personalization benefits your shop too: when customers add a small extra, your average order value (AOV) increases. A $60 bouquet can easily become a $75 order with the right add-on. Over time, those incremental boosts translate into meaningful revenue growth. Read More
