Let’s be real for a second: the cost of getting a customer to your store is getting out of hand. If you’re running a Shopify brand in 2026, you already know that Facebook and Google ads are eating your margins for breakfast. If your Average Order Value (AOV) isn’t high enough to offset that Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), you’re basically running a charity, not a business.
At Rafl, we’ve seen merchants try everything to move the needle. They try free shipping, they try tiny discounts, and they try those annoying pop-ups that everyone hates. But there’s a better way to get people to spend more money: and actually make them excited about doing it.
It’s called the Entry Multiplier.
By turning your checkout process into a high-stakes opportunity to win life-changing prizes (we’re talking $10k to over $1M), you change the psychology of the purchase. Customers aren’t just buying a product anymore; they’re buying a chance at a dream.
Here are 5 tips to use Rafl’s Entry Multipliers to skyrocket your AOV instantly.
1. Implement Tiered Entry Multipliers
The simplest way to get someone to spend more is to give them a "goal" that feels within reach. In standard e-commerce, this is usually "Spend $50 for Free Shipping." With Rafl, you can do something much more powerful.
Instead of just offering shipping, offer a multiplier on their giveaway entries.
- Spend $50: Get 2x entries.
- Spend $100: Get 5x entries.
- Spend $200: Get 10x entries.
When a customer sees they are only $10 away from quintupling their chances to win a $100,000 cash prize, adding that extra accessory or upsell to their cart becomes a no-brainer. The "math" in their head shifts from "Do I need this item?" to "Is this item worth 5x more chances to change my life?"
2. Leverage the "Flash Multiplier" Event
Urgency is the oldest trick in the marketing book because it works. You can use Rafl to run "Flash Multiplier" windows. For example, for the next 4 hours, every purchase gets 10x entries regardless of the order size.
This creates a massive spike in conversion rates and encourages people to complete their checkout now rather than leaving items in their cart for later. When you pair this with a large cash prize pool managed by Rafl, the FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) becomes a massive revenue driver.

3. The 50/50 Revenue Share Advantage
One of the biggest hurdles for merchants when running giveaways is the cost and the legal headache. At Rafl, we’ve solved that. We handle the prizes, the legal compliance, and the tech.
But here’s the kicker: we operate on a 50/50 revenue share model for Entry Multipliers.
When a customer is at checkout and they decide to buy an extra "Multiplier Pack" or "Entry Ticket" to boost their chances of winning, that revenue is split right down the middle between you and Rafl. This isn't just about selling more products; it’s about creating a brand-new, high-margin revenue stream that didn't exist before.
You’re boosting your AOV not just through product sales, but through pure digital products (entries) that have zero COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) for you. It’s the most efficient way to increase your bottom line. You can learn more about how we structure this on our About page.
4. Bundle Your Way to 10x Entries
Product bundling is a classic strategy, but Rafl takes it to the next level. Instead of just offering a 10% discount on a bundle, you can offer a "Mega Entry" boost.
For example, if you’re selling skincare, you might have a "Ultimate Glow Bundle." If a customer buys the items individually, they get standard entries. But if they buy the bundle, they get a permanent 10x multiplier for that order.
This gives the customer a logical reason to choose the higher-priced option. They get the products they want, a better deal, and a significantly higher chance of winning a $50k or $1M prize. It turns a standard transaction into an event.

5. Use Multipliers to Lower Your CAC
While this post is about AOV, you can't ignore the impact on your acquisition costs. When your ads scream "Buy this hoodie and win $100,000," your Click-Through Rate (CTR) will go through the roof.
Once they land on the site, the Entry Multiplier keeps them there. If they know that spending a bit more gives them a better shot at the prize, they stay engaged longer. This increased engagement signals to platforms like Shopify and Meta that your store is high-value, often leading to better ad placements and lower costs over time.
By increasing your AOV through multipliers, you can afford to spend more to acquire a customer than your competitors, effectively pricing them out of the market.
The Psychology of the "Big Win"
Why do people love Rafl? It’s simple: hope.
Most e-commerce stores are transactional. I give you money, you give me a shirt. That’s fine, but it’s not exciting. When you integrate Rafl, you’re adding a layer of excitement to every single purchase.
When the prize is a massive cash payout, the customer's relationship with your brand changes. They aren't just looking for a deal; they are looking for an opportunity. This shift is what allows you to command higher AOVs without constantly slashing your prices and devaluing your brand.
