Overview
Sugar Spring Co. began in St. Petersburg, Florida, with a mission to make gift-giving more meaningful. What started as a family-led endeavor has grown into a popular U.S. gifting brand. Their goal is to deliver one million orders by the end of 2024 to support local charities.
Challenge
With rising ad costs and over 80% of their budget going to Facebook, Sugar Spring Co. needed a higher average order value (AOV) to sustain growth. Their previous upsell tool offered limited insights, and they sought a more flexible, data-driven solution.
Solution
After transitioning to Shopify Plus in 2023, Sugar Spring Co. implemented Aftersell. In the first 24 hours, they generated $1,800 in new revenue through Aftersell’s post-purchase and thank you page upsells! They also achieved:
- Post-purchase & thank you page offers allowed seamless addition of complementary items for each order, quickly increasing AOV.
- Built-in analytics helped identify and optimize the most profitable offers.
“The built-in analytics was a big help for us. Sometimes we saw a higher take rate but lower revenue on some products, so we could make quick decisions on which offers were truly profitable.”

- Rokt Thanks (previously Network Offers) drove additional revenue while enhancing credibility with trusted brand associations.
With Aftersell, Sugar Spring boosted AOV from $71 to $80. This has led to their most successful Q4 to date! They can use these additional profits to propel their growth.
Results
- AOV increase: from $71 to $80 (12.6% growth)
- Revenue from Aftersell: Aftersell accounts for 6.3% of total revenue
- Record Q4 revenue: since adding Aftersell, they’re now exceeding Q4 totals from both 2022 and 2023
