📦 Multi-SKU Video Compounding: How Brands Multiply Revenue by Featuring Multiple SKUs in a Single Video

Most brands treat video ads as single-SKU vehicles—one product, one CTA. But TikTok Shop data reveals a major profit unlock: videos featuring multiple SKUs drive 23-47% higher AOV, as shoppers discover and purchase complementary products in a single session.

Instead of just showcasing products, elite brands strategically stack SKUs, activating a halo effect that increases sales across entire product categories.

🔍 Why Single-SKU Thinking Limits Your Revenue

Most DTC brands assume buyers make isolated, linear purchases, but discovery-driven platforms don’t work that way. TikTok’s algorithm promotes videos with deeper engagement, and multi-SKU placements naturally create longer watch times, more comments, and greater conversion depth.

How to Execute Multi-SKU Video Compound:

1. Create “Story-Based” SKU Combinations

Instead of random bundles, curate products around high-impact customer use cases.

• Position SKUs within a compelling story—e.g., “Morning Reset” featuring a wellness shot, skincare mist, and hair serum instead of standalone products.
• Sequence product placements naturally (first problem, then solution) to guide impulse buying decisions.

2. Optimize for Multi-Dimensional Halo Effects

Videos shouldn’t just drive direct sales—they should expand awareness of related SKUs and cross-platform sales.

• Start with a “hero SKU” to grab attention, then showcase complementary products naturally.
• Use CTA overlays directing viewers to full product collections (not single-SKU pages).

 3. Leverage Subtle “In-Video Cross-Selling”

Customers ignore hard sells but engage with naturally placed products.

• Use product clustering in lifestyle shots—e.g., a travel essentials video featuring a carry-on, toiletry bag, and travel bottles without forcing a pitch.
• Test “unspoken discovery” by casually displaying secondary SKUs in the background of creator-led content.

Multi-SKU video compounding isn’t about complexity—it’s about engineering content that makes buyers want more. Brands that shift from selling isolated products to interconnected experiences multiply revenue, organically and profitably.

How Kettle & Fire leveraged direct mail to win back customers

Email and digital ad performance aren’t what they used to be, and brands are looking for new, efficient ways to reengage their customers and drive repeat purchases.

That’s why Kettle & Fire turned to direct mail with Poplar to reach valuable customers who simply weren’t engaging with their email campaigns.

Using Poplar’s easy Klaviyo integration, Kettle & Fire targeted lapsed customers who didn’t open their emails with a 1:1 mailer that fit into their existing Klaviyo workflows. Not only did this immediately boost the response rates of that group by 1.4%+, it drove over 15x ROI.

Don’t take our word for it, hear it from them directly: “We use Poplar for our win-back campaigns, and they’ve consistently shown a super high ROAS with personalized messaging and content.”
