Up selling
Upselling is a sales strategy when a customer is
encouraged to buy anything that would make
their primary purchase even better. It’s like an
upgrade to an existing order. Marketers often
use this tactic in their campaigns to generate
more sales.
Up selling
The upselling technique also provides value to
customers because it offers them to pay a little more
but wind up with a better product. It's a mutually
beneficial deal. That's right, savvy marketers will
never suggest buying the last iPhone model if a
person is looking for a cheap smartphone. It doesn't
make any sense. But it's a good idea to offer a phone
that's 10-15% more expensive but equipped with a
better camera, for example.
Up selling
We bet you’ve experienced upselling many times,
perhaps, even not realizing that. When you buy a
big latte, a barista may suggest paying extra for
chocolate crisps and vanilla syrup. As a result, you
get an A1 coffee, and the barista ramps their daily
receipts up.
Up selling
As you see, upselling is an effective practice that’s beneficial for both merchants and customers.
The former can scale up their AOV (average order value), while the latter walks away with a better
product.
Cross-selling
Cross-selling is another great practice to encourage
people to buy more. Here how it works: a customer
is shown a variety of products that may complement
their needs.
