What it is

A 4–6 step post-purchase OTO chain that widens the aperture with each step. Today, U1 (Mag-Split Core Reactor) is the only post-purchase offer. Every "no" exits the funnel; every "yes" also exits. Adding U2, U3 and two downsells unlocks 3–5 additional chances to raise the ticket per buyer.

Why this fits TerraShell specifically

Your U1 converting at 19.8% at $269 AOV is the clearest signal that the audience will keep spending post-purchase. They just committed emotionally to "protecting the family from the next storm" — buying momentum is at its peak.

Preparedness as a category has a unique property: the buyer's internal frame is "complete the kit," not "I already bought." Every additional preparedness product slots into the same mental model.

Direct analog in our library 4Patriots — a preparedness-category competitor — runs a full scraped funnel with U1 → U2 → U3 → D1 → D2 plus post-purchase U1/U2/U3. Their entire funnel is captured below as clickable scraped pages. Open each one to see the full scroll.

The two playbook variants we've seen work

Variant A — Lulutox "widening funnel" (cross-brand)

Variant B — Primera "niche-to-mass fan-out" (same brand, modality-matched)

Watch Cain (FOTW) explain the Primera map in his own words. The first clip lays out the 4-upsell structure; the second reveals the cart value: 05:01 / 28:26 / 26:38.

Recommendation for TerraShell Run Variant B. You already have Marcus Webb as a through-line expert. Your demographic (parents preparing for emergencies) has an obvious set of adjacent unmet needs. You control the brand. Variant A's cross-brand trust break would hurt a safety-category brand disproportionately.

Proposed TerraShell chain

SlotProductPrice tiersLogic
U1 (existing) Mag-Split Core Reactor $138 / $236 / $294 / $528 "Active heat complementing passive insulation" — already working at 19.8%
U2 (new) Solar/Hand-Crank NOAA Radio + Flashlight Combo $49 / $89 / $149 "When the power goes out, the information goes out." Webb narration: info is the second deadly gap after warmth.
U3 (new) 72-Hour Emergency Food Bucket or Family Water Filtration Kit $97 / $179 / $297 "You've solved warmth. Now solve the next 72 hours." Callback to Webb's "72-hour FEMA baseline" from your advertorial.
D1 (after U1 decline) 1x TerraShell at the deepest discount you've ever shown $39 one-unit "OK — not the full kit. But don't leave with zero. Here's one for the car."
D2 (after U3 decline) Printed Family Emergency Action Plan + Laminated Wallet Card $19 Nearly-zero-COGS digital+print. Closes the session on a "yes."

Supplementary reference: BBCo Provitalize's OTO chain

A second scraped example — BBCo Provitalize uses the same "same-brand, modality-matched" fan-out. Open either OTO page to see how they compress the pitch into a single scroll while maintaining the expert/identity through-line. Good reference for the copy density of your U2/U3 pages.

Derila Ergo — the 5-step accessory-ladder reference

Derila Ergo runs a slightly different variant on the same pattern: five sequential accessory OTOs that climb from protection → enhancement → duplicate → insurance. They push AOV from ~$35–$69 all the way to $189.62. Watch Omar walk through every step: 37:49 / 46:15.

Implementation spec

  1. Post-purchase engine: Checkout Champ, Zipify OCU, or Funnelish all run this natively
  2. Modality match: Every upsell page needs the same "WAIT {shipFirstName}!" logistics-pivot framing you already nailed on U1
  3. Marcus Webb through-line: record 45–90 sec video intros for U2 and U3 in the same voice — keeps trust compounding
  4. Bridge copy on every fan-out (Primera pattern): open each upsell with "Congrats — your TerraShell is locked in. One more critical gap before your order ships..."
  5. Tier math: copy your U1's 2/4/6/12-unit structure — it's working
  6. Downsell routing: D1 shows only if U1 is declined. D2 shows only if U2 AND U3 are declined.

Expected lift math

U2
10% take × ~$60 margin = +$6/buyer blended
U3
8% take × ~$100 margin = +$8/buyer blended
D1
5% recovery of U1-decliners × ~$30 margin = +$1.50/buyer blended
Combined
+$12–18/order on top of existing ~$50/order from U1
At sample volume
1,485 orders × $15 = ~$22k incremental on the same traffic

Watch-outs

Chargeback risk at $500+ carts Buyer's remorse climbs sharply when total cart exceeds expectations. Use separated billing — each upsell posts as its own charge on the statement. Derila-Ergo and Drivse both do this.
Don't drop modality at the back of the chain Primera's top observation: brands get "lazy on the upsell path" and drop to short text pages after a long video/advertorial front-end. Take rates crater. Keep video intros on U2 and U3. 34:10
Sourcing gates the launch U2 (radio) and U3 (food) require SKU supply or a dropship partner before you can fulfill. Get fulfillment nailed before building pages.

The critical warning

Next moves

  1. Confirm fulfillment partner for Solar Radio SKU (U2) and Emergency Food (U3)
  2. Record Marcus Webb 45–90 sec intros for U2 and U3
  3. Stand up the U2 page in Checkout Champ matching U1's "WAIT {shipFirstName}!" template
  4. Write D1 and D2 pages (can use the same template; swap the offer)
  5. Investigate the U1 reach gap (647 / 1,485) before launching the extension — fixing that alone may move revenue more than any of this
