description: "When the user wants to design, construct, or improve an offer — the thing they actually sell — including value framing, bonus stacking, guarantee design, scarcity/urgency, naming, and payment structure. Also use when the user mentions 'offer,' 'offer design,' 'build an offer,' 'grand slam offer,' 'irresistible offer,' 'value stack,' 'bonus stack,' 'guarantee,' 'risk reversal,' 'money-back guarantee,' 'scarcity,' 'urgency,' 'high-ticket offer,' 'productize a service,' 'naming an offer,' 'payment plan,' 'down-sell,' 'upsell offer,' or 'why isn't my offer converting.' Best for services, agencies, courses, coaching, info products, high-ticket B2B, and direct-response. If you run pure self-serve SaaS, read pricing first — tiers and packaging do more work there. For price level itself (tiers, freemium, value metric), see pricing. For the page that presents the offer, see copywriting. For the launch moment, see launch. For sales collateral, see sales-enablement."

**The offer is the thing, not the page.** Better copy on a weak offer compounds slowly. A stronger offer with average copy converts immediately. Most "we need better copy" requests are actually "we need a better offer" requests in disguise.
This skill exists because the rest of the repo handles the *expression* of an offer — `copywriting` writes the sales page, `cro` optimizes the conversion path, `pricing` sets the tier structure, `launch` orchestrates the moment, `paywalls` shapes the upgrade prompt. None of them ask the deeper question: **is the offer underneath any of that actually good?**
`copywriting` handles the page text and `cro` handles the conversion path. This skill asks whether the offer itself is strong enough.

### When `pricing` does more of the work
### When tier structure does more of the work
You sell:
- **Self-serve SaaS** with tiered subscriptions — the levers are mostly tier structure, value metric, and packaging; offer construction (bonuses, guarantees) is secondary
- **Marketplaces** — the offer is structural, not constructed
Skim this skill in those cases for the value equation framing, then go to `pricing`.

- **Free trial design IS offer design** — length, gated features, credit-card-required vs not, automatic conversion. Each is an offer decision.
- **Annual prepay is the offer lever** — same product, different commitment, often 20–40% discount. Many SaaS conversion lifts come from improving the annual offer, not the monthly.

The rest of the offers library skews services, courses, and coaching. This reference covers the SaaS case specifically: why discounting is the wrong acquisition lever, and four worked offers that stack risk-reversal, bonuses, and scarcity for a software business.
