“A strong offer stack helps people say 'yes' to what you're selling.”
When you're trying to sell something through a live or recorded presentation, it can feel like you're speaking into a void. Maybe you've shared great information, but then very few people decide to buy. This often happens because the offer itself isn't clear or compelling enough. This article will walk you through how to put together a webinar offer stack, which is a collection of valuable items that come with your main product or service, making your core offering much more appealing and easier to say 'yes' to.
What is a Webinar Offer Stack?
Think of a webinar offer stack as a special package you create for your audience. It's not just your main product or service on its own. Instead, it's that main thing bundled together with several valuable bonuses. Each piece in the stack helps to solve a specific problem or smooth out a particular worry your potential customer might have. The goal is to make the total value of everything far greater than the price you're asking, making it seem like an incredible deal.
When you present your core product or service, you also reveal these extra items one by one. You explain what each bonus is, what outcome it helps the customer achieve, and what its individual value would be if they bought it separately. This step-by-step reveal builds excitement and demonstrates the comprehensive solution you're providing. It helps your audience understand the full scope of what they're getting and why it's so helpful for them.
Start with Your Core Offer
Before you add any bonuses, be crystal clear about your main product or service. What is the single biggest transformation or result it provides? Who is it for? What specific problem does it solve? This core offer is the foundation of your entire stack. For instance, if your core offer is an online course teaching people how to paint watercolor landscapes, the main transformation is going from 'beginner' to 'able to paint beautiful landscapes.'
It's helpful to write down the exact name of your core offer, its primary benefit, and a realistic market value. Even if you don't plan to sell it separately, assigning a value helps you later when you show the total worth of your stack. For our watercolor course illustration, you might name it 'The Confident Watercolorist Journey' with a primary benefit of 'mastering landscape painting from scratch' and a value of $497.
Identify Objections and Obstacles
Now, think about why someone might hesitate to buy your core offer. What common questions, doubts, or fears do they have? Are they worried about the learning curve, lack of time, technical skills, or simply not knowing where to start? List out every potential objection. For the watercolor course, objections might include: 'I don't have the right supplies,' 'I'm not artistic,' 'I won't have time to practice,' or 'What if I get stuck?'
Each objection you uncover is an opportunity to add a valuable bonus to your offer stack. The best bonuses aren't just random extras; they directly address and remove these potential blockers. This makes the path to purchasing and succeeding with your core offer much smoother and helps your audience feel more confident about their decision. It's about anticipating their needs and providing solutions proactively.
Craft Your Bonuses to Remove Objections
Once you have your list of objections, brainstorm specific bonuses that directly counter them. For our watercolor course example: if 'I don't have the right supplies' is an objection, a bonus could be 'The Essential Watercolor Supply List & Discount Guide' (value $27). If 'I'm not artistic' is a concern, '5 Confidence-Building Exercises for Beginners' (value $47) could help.
If they worry 'I won't have time to practice,' a 'Weekly 15-Minute Painting Prompts' bonus (value $97) might be perfect. And for 'What if I get stuck?', 'Access to the Private Student Community Forum' (value $197) offers ongoing support. Each bonus should have a clear name, a specific benefit that removes an objection, and a separate, justifiable value. This structured approach builds a powerful offer.
Assemble Your Stack and Show the Value
After defining your core offer and all your objection-busting bonuses, it's time to put it all together. During your presentation, reveal each item one by one. For each item, state its name, explain what it does, and then explicitly state its value. Visually, this often looks like a pyramid or a list that grows longer as you add more value.
Once you've presented every item in your webinar offer stack, tally up the total value of everything included. Our illustration now has: 'The Confident Watercolorist Journey' ($497) + 'The Essential Watercolor Supply List & Discount Guide' ($27) + '5 Confidence-Building Exercises for Beginners' ($47) + 'Weekly 15-Minute Painting Prompts' ($97) + 'Access to the Private Student Community Forum' ($197). The total value is $865. This visible sum makes the eventual price you ask seem very small in comparison.
A Common Mistake: Piling on Irrelevant Bonuses
A frequent pitfall when creating a webinar offer stack is adding bonuses that don't directly relate to the core offer or solve a specific problem. Some people just throw in anything they have, hoping more items equal more perceived value. However, this often backfires. Irrelevant bonuses can confuse your audience and dilute the perceived value of your main product or service.
Instead of just 'more,' aim for 'more relevant' and 'more helpful.' Every bonus should serve a clear purpose: either enhancing the core offer, making it easier to use, or directly addressing a reason someone might not buy. Think quality and intentionality over sheer quantity. If a bonus doesn't directly support the main outcome, it might be better to leave it out.
Presenting Your Webinar Offer Stack
When you present your stack, the key is to build momentum. Start with your core offer, then introduce each bonus with enthusiasm, explaining its benefit and value. Use clear, simple language. As you add each piece, remind your audience of the growing total value. This step-by-step reveal creates a powerful sense of accumulation and increasing worth.
After presenting the full stack and its total value, you can then present your actual price. The contrast between the high perceived value of the stack and the lower asking price makes your offer incredibly attractive. This careful presentation makes it much easier for your audience to see the incredible value they are getting and makes saying 'yes' a much simpler decision.
The short version
- Your core offer is the foundation; define its main benefit and value clearly.
- List all potential objections your audience might have to buying your core offer.
- Create specific bonuses that directly solve each identified objection or obstacle.
- Assign a clear name, benefit, and value to every item in your offer stack.
- Present your stack item by item, showing the increasing total value to your audience.
Common questions
What is an offer stack?
An offer stack is a collection of valuable items bundled with your main product or service. It includes your core offer plus several bonuses, each designed to enhance the core product or overcome a potential objection. The goal is to increase the perceived value and make your overall offer more appealing and irresistible to potential customers.
How many bonuses should be in a stack?
There isn't a magic number, but focus on quality over quantity. Aim for enough bonuses (perhaps 3-7) to address common objections and enhance your core offer without overwhelming your audience. Each bonus should be genuinely valuable and serve a specific purpose in supporting the main product or service.
Should bonuses be free products?
Bonuses are included 'for free' with the purchase of your core offer, but they should be items that you *could* sell individually. Assigning a clear monetary value to each bonus, even if you're not selling them separately, helps to demonstrate the high total value of your offer stack to your audience.
What if I don't have bonuses?
If you don't currently have ready-made bonuses, think about what small, helpful resources you could create. This could be a checklist, a template, a mini-guide, a short video tutorial, or even access to a private group. The key is to create something that directly helps your audience overcome a common hurdle related to your core offer.
How do I determine bonus value?
Determine bonus value by asking what someone would reasonably pay for that item on its own. Consider its content, effort to create, and the specific problem it solves. If it's a guide, how much time or money would it save someone? If it's access to a community, what's the value of that support? Be realistic but confident.
Can I reuse a bonus for different offers?
Yes, you can absolutely reuse a bonus if it genuinely supports different core offers. However, ensure it directly addresses a relevant objection or enhances the specific core offer it's bundled with. If a bonus feels generic or unrelated, it might weaken the overall perception of value for that particular offer stack.
