Primary goal
Goal: Improve metrics like AOV, retention, and profitability through better upsell/cross-sell execution following Brittle-Brittle's recent acquisition by private equity, with a focus on sustainable, repeatable revenue growth. This proposal follows UpsellPlus's Food & Beverage revenue playbook, prioritizing units per transaction, flavor discovery, and repeat purchase behavior over aggressive discounting.
Current State
At the moment, Brittle-Brittle's site offers single-flavor tubs, snack bags, and gift bundles that customers browse and add to cart manually, with no automated upsell, cross-sell, subscription, or post-purchase flows in place to increase order value or repeat purchases.
Recommended revenue expansion initiatives
Flavor Discovery: Build Your Own Brittle Box
Increase flavor exploration and future repeat purchases by letting customers combine additional flavors into their order.
Why? Per UpsellPlus's Food & Beverage playbook, taste curiosity drives expansion across SKUs, and a shopper browsing one flavor is a strong candidate to try one or two more without a separate purchase decision.
Strategy: Show a Mix & Match offer on flagship PDPs (Gourmet Peanut Brittle, Mixed Nut Brittle) pulling from the Just Because snack-size and New Flavors collections, letting customers build a personalized 3-4 flavor box.
Size Upgrade Nudge
Increase units per transaction by encouraging customers to size up rather than add a separate item.
Why? Brittle-Brittle already sells the same flavors across multiple sizes (5 oz. bag, 12 oz. box, 36 oz. tub, and 17 lb. bulk), so a small increase in basket size can come from stocking up rather than persuading customers to add a second product — this is one of the highest-leverage plays for a consumable brand.
Strategy: On the PDP and in-cart, surface a one-click "step up" nudge (e.g. 12 oz. → 36 oz., or add the 2-Pack Tub) showing the per-ounce savings, instead of only prompting a second, unrelated SKU.
"Complete the Gift" Post-Purchase Offer
Increase post-purchase AOV by recommending a complementary bundle immediately after checkout.
Why? Per the Food & Beverage playbook, consumables support low-friction impulse purchasing after checkout, and the customer has just committed to a purchase, making this a low-friction moment to add a second gift-ready bundle for another recipient.
Strategy: Show 1-2 post-purchase offers based on the flavor purchased, such as the Sweet Heat Duo or the 6 Flavors One Party Pack, discounted for immediate add-on.
Threshold Unlock: Cart Drawer Rewards Bar
Increase AOV efficiently by rewarding customers for crossing a cart value threshold.
Why? Small consumable add-ons convert well near shipping or gift thresholds, and the cart drawer is a high-intent moment where customers have already shown purchase intent.
Strategy: Add a Rewards Bar with tiers (e.g. free shipping, a free snack-size bag, or a branded glass) alongside cross-sell recommendations for bundles.
Subscribe & Save Replenishment Upsell
Increase repeat purchase rate and customer lifetime value by turning one-time buyers into subscribers.
Why? Per the Food & Beverage playbook, subscriptions should be positioned around convenience and consistency rather than discounts. Brittle has a natural repurchase cycle, and subscription revenue is especially valuable to a newly PE-backed brand focused on predictable growth.
Strategy: Create subscription-based products for best-selling tubs and snack bags, then introduce a Subscribe & Save option across the PDP and cart. Position the subscription around the convenience of always having Brittle on hand

What we do NOT recommend
Offering too many products within each section.
Showing random cross-category recommendations unrelated to brittle, toffee, or gifting.
Aggressive discount-dependent framing that trains customers to wait for promotions.
Forcing large bulk purchases instead of simple, incremental size upgrades.
