Introduction
In China’s bundle-loving market, where super-apps bundle everything from rides to meals, overseas brands can harness bundled pricing to create sticky ecosystems that outpace unbundled rivals. These strategies not only inflate baskets but also embed brands in daily routines. Drawing from our 10-year localization legacy, we’ve engineered bundles for SaaS providers that enhance stickiness, often doubling cross-sell rates through data-informed, culturally vibrant packages.

Case Study: KFC’s Family Bundles Dominating Chinese QSR
KFC pioneered bundles in China since 1987 with 39 RMB family buckets blending Western fried with rice porridges, reciprocity via app exclusives. Integrated with Ele.me for delivery booms, it reached 9,000 stores and $6 billion by 2024. Dynamic family tiers captured holidays, securing 25% market lead and highlighting how adaptive bundling, localized with communal dining, built an overseas powerhouse.
