# Why UFE?

|| **Upsell Funnel Engine —** ***We've Built For Brands!***

While bootstrapping the idea of Upsell Funnel Engine, my co-founder and I have only one mission in our mind.

***"An all-in-one upsell app solution for merchants"***

## Freedom + Clean Design + Positive ROI = UFE!

|| **Freedom!** 
|| *— Freedom to create any type of offer
|| — Freedom to place the offer on any page
|| — Freedom to place the offer on any position on the page!*

Let me quote [Thomas John Watson Jr.](https://www.ibm.com/ibm/history/ibm100/us/en/icons/gooddesign/) words

> Good Design is Good Business
*— Watson Jr., Former Chief Executive, IBM*

[According to Adobe](https://blogs.adobe.com/creative/design-advantage/), companies with a strong design outperform companies with a weak design by 219% on the S&P Index (US stock market index) over the span of 10 years.

|| **Design!** 
|| *— Clean design offers built for brands
|| — Strong UX backtested design
|| — Gamification enabled designs*

For any business, let's talk about realistic serious e-commerce businesses! What we have to look is for a positive ROI.

Consider 2 merchants,

1. One is using UFE and generating $50638.30 a month by paying $89.99 per month **(56271% ROI)**

2. Another merchant using some other awesome upsell app and generating $5000 by paying $19.99 per month **(25012% ROI)**

Both Return on investment are positive, but which merchant is more wise and generating more profits?

|| **Positive Return On Investment!** 
|| *— Built to suit for beginners and Big Brands!
|| — $0 per month for beginners!
|| — Positive ROI guaranteed*

### Don't make mistakes!

> Rome wasn't built in a day but Hiroshima was destroyed in a day!

Be patient to get results!

If you install app today and expecting results tomorrow, then **it's not gonna work!**

Give at least **a month** to try **different offers** and **fine-tune the better performing** offers and you will be flabbergasted with the results!

Always look for the results / value you are getting, instead of looking at what you paying for a service! 

***If something is expensive, it's expensive for a reason!*** Also, keep in mind, *"Nothing is FREE in this world"* if something is FREE then *"it's FREE for a reason!".*

### Realistic ROI of our merchants!

Over expectation kills our motivation if our expectation goes wrong, so let me pull out some **realistic ROI** of our merchants generating extra revenues.


|| **Brands** are getting around 2000% - 67000% ROI
|| Merchants who are paying $29.99 per month are getting around $5000 - $27,497 per month

|| **Dropshipping Stores** are getting around 1000% - 36000% ROI
|| Merchants who are paying $19.99 per month are getting around $1000 - $9000 per month from the app

**Note:** These are the approximate figures (extra revenues) generated by our merchants from different niches!

|| **Realistic Fun Fact!**
|| Merchants are making even **more than $120k in a month** by paying $39.99 per month.
|| And also there are novice **merchants making $0 per month** by paying $0 per month 🙂

> At the end of the day what we have to look is for a **positive ROI** (Return on Investment) 
> — If you are paying $10 then you must at least aim to get a value of $11

### How UFE born?

We run our own e-commerce businesses and we used to combine **bundle offers, volume discount offers and discounted cross-sell offers** for different products in our store 2 years back. 

But things didn't go well, because we have to use 3 different apps for this purpose, but the main problem is [***Shopify upselling apps are not designed to work together***](https://docs.helixo.co/en/article/multiple-upsell-apps-and-theme-support-ssffc7/), so that caused many problems in our store.

That's the moment where idea of UFE was born!

We've built a tool for merchants to create offers either it's a [**simple offer**](https://docs.helixo.co/en/article/create-a-simple-discounted-cross-sell-offer-10bpme/) or **complex logic funnel offers** for ease.

## Features

* Highly optimized, compressed, and ultra-lightweight script ***— which is ~700% smaller than other similar apps.***

* Built on top of strong industry standard `Funnels` concept!

#### You can place an offer on the below pages

* Product Page

* Cart Page

* Home page

* Collection page


#### Use different styles of widgets

|| Hate popups? *— Hate it and love* `In-Page`
|| Love popups? — *Love it and use it
|| Need a different flavour? — Try*&#32;`Floating`&#32;*widgets*

* In-page

* Floating

* Pop-up

**Good read!** [Everything about Popup vs in-page vs Floating](https://docs.helixo.co/en/article/everything-about-popup-vs-in-page-vs-floating-1e3oiwa/) 

#### Different type of offers we support

|| 4 upsell offer types in one app *— You can avoid 4 upsell apps*

* [Normal Upsell](https://docs.helixo.co/en/article/create-a-simple-discounted-cross-sell-offer-10bpme/)

* [Bundle Upsell](https://docs.helixo.co/en/article/how-to-create-bundles-l4j1vx/)

* [Volume Discount](https://docs.helixo.co/en/article/how-does-volume-discount-work-14hc0ba/)
