KA-CHING!: Your BFCM survival game
A stress-free BFCM starts here. The Stress Monsters in KA-CHING! aren't just game villains — they're the real ecommerce pain points sinking your revenue: Cart abandonment. Low AOV. Generic offers that fall flat. Tech bloat that slows everything down.
Play KA-CHING!, defeat the Stress Monsters, and discover how to turn ecommerce problems into profit.
Introducing: The Stress Monsters sabotaging your BFCM (and how to defeat them)
Every Stress Monster in KA-CHING! represents a real challenge costing you revenue, slowing your growth, and creating unnecessary friction during peak sales periods. But here's the good news: each Stress Monster has a proven weakness that can be thwarted with Rebuy's personalization platform.
Blandor
Generic, irrelevant offers
Affliction
Nothing special to see here."
Impact
Smothers excitement with one-size-fits-none offers that drive shoppers away.
Fun Fact
Their idea of indulgence is plain toast with room-temperature water.
Cheat code:
Personalization is the Power-Up
Blandor’s greatest weapon is boredom. They despise dynamism, specificity, and anything personal. Their deepest wish is to alienate others by treating them like they’re nothing special and as though their needs and desires are irrelevant (and to their credit, this strategy works incredibly well).
Scrimpus
Low AOV
Affliction
Watch me sink your sales."
Impact
Drowns the value of every order, keeping baskets light and profits lower than they should be.
Fun Fact
Hoards a mountain of single item carts in its lair.
Cheat code:
Level up the basket
Scrimpus takes grotesque delight in sinking sales and keeping shopper baskets at the bare minimum. Scrimpus likes to make products feel isolated and decontextualized as a way of increasing stress and discouraging expansion. To beat Scrimpus, think about ways to make every order feel like a complete set.
Boonce
Bounce rate
Affliction
Gone before you know it."
Impact
Visitors vanish almost instantly, slipping away before they’ve even had a chance to shop.
Fun Fact
Boonce spends his days floating between tabs, never staying anywhere long enough to buy.
Cheat code:
Hook them from the start
If your store doesn’t capture interest right away, Boonce will scare shoppers off before the first scroll. Unlike Dawdle (who slows things down) or Blandor (who bores with generic offers), Boonce thrives in those fragile first seconds when someone decides whether to shop or leave.
Abandaconda
Cart abandonment
Affliction
So close… yet so gone."
Impact
Chokes off sales at the very last moment, leaving merchants staring at ghosted carts.
Fun Fact
Loves snacking on carts left behind right before payment.
Cheat code:
Keep shoppers on the path
Abandaconda thrives when shoppers hesitate at the last hurdle. Hidden fees, clunky checkout forms, or limited payment options give them room to strike. The antidote is transparency and trust.
Maliathan
Low conversion rate
Affliction
So many visits… so few victories."
Impact
Lures shoppers in, then sends them running before they hit purchase.
Fun Fact
Collects abandoned carts like trophies.
Cheat code:
Keep the final stretch smooth
Maliathan feeds on wasted traffic. Maliathan confuses, distracts, and overwhelms visitors until they give up. To banish Maliathan, stores need personalized discovery that lights the way forward.
Dawdle
Slow, bloated sites
Affliction
The more you add, the more I drag."
Impact
Clutters store with unnecessary apps and code, dragging down site performance and shopper patience.
Fun Fact
Moves at exactly one page load per minute.
Cheat code:
Speed up the game
Every second counts in ecommerce. Dawdle takes advantage of overloaded sites and unnecessary apps that slow the experience to a crawl. The counterattack is simplicity: clean, fast, and purposeful.
Spurnox
Customer churn
Affliction
Shoppers say I have a prickly demeanor."
Impact
Turns loyal fans into one-time shoppers, draining lifetime value and leaving stores stuck chasing new customers.
Fun Fact
Spurnox sharpens their spikes on unclaimed loyalty points.
Cheat code:
Turn one-time buyers into lifelong fans
Spurnox thrives when the relationship ends after a single purchase. Spurnox waits for loyalty to slip, then drive shoppers away for good. The antidote is connection and consistency.
