Turn Deadstock into Cashflow: Introducing the Mystery Box & Lucky Dip Builder πŸ’Ž

Every online store and physical shop inevitably ends up with surplus stock β€” seasonal overstock, previous collection items, or extra raw ingredients. Instead of discounting items down to zero or letting inventory sit on shelves, mystery boxes tap into one of the most powerful viral trends on TikTok & Instagram: unboxing surprises!

Today, we are thrilled to introduce the Mystery Box & Lucky Dip Builder πŸ’Ž, available as a Universal Standalone Powerup on the Whizzly App Store!

Why Mystery Boxes Drive High Margins

  1. High Perceived Value: Shoppers love paying Β£20 for a box with estimated Β£35+ RRP value.
  2. Clears Overstock Effortlessly: Allows merchants to package slower-moving SKUs without cheapening main product catalogue pricing.
  3. Automated Secret Packing Slips: Whizzly automatically attaches a Secret Overstock Packing Slip to dashboard receipts so warehouse staff pick surplus items based on customer size/style notes.

Multi-Shop Type Use Cases

  • Boutiques & Apparel: Β£20 Starter Box, Β£40 VIP Apparel Dip.
  • Bakeries & Food Shops: "Baker's Secret Evening Mystery Box" clearing daily fresh inventory before closing time.
  • Salons & Spa: "Mystery Pamper Bundle" combining service vouchers & beauty products.

Activate Mystery Box & Lucky Dip Builder πŸ’Ž today from your Dashboard > Catalogue & Store > Powerups App Store!
