Unbundling Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Product bundling
Product bundling is a marketing strategy that involves offering several products for sale as one combined product. This strategy is very common in the software business (for example: bundle a word processor, a spreadsheet, and a database into a single office suite), and in the fast food industry in which multiple items are combined into a complete meal. A bundle of products is sometimes referred to as a package deal. The strategy is most successful when:
  • there are economies of scale in production,
  • there are economies of scope in distribution,
  • marginal costs of bundling are low.
  • production set-up costs are high,
  • customer acquisition costs are high.
  • consumers appreciate the resulting simplification of the purchase decision and benefit from the joint performance of the combined product.
