FAQ
What is upselling?
Here’s the definition we found in an academic research paper: Upselling “refers to the practice of selling more expensive items, add-ons, or other products or services to an existing customer.”
So your upsell strategy should revolve around offering your customers something extra in exchange for an additional fee. Your upsell offers can vary depending on the types of products your store sells.
What is cross-selling?
Cross-selling is all about getting your customers to buy extra items, not upgrading the ones they’re already interested in. For example, you might recommend complementary products on your thank you page. Cross-sell offers are also a very powerful sales tool.
What does an upsell offer look like in real life?
Here are a few examples of successful upselling campaigns by some great ecommerce companies:
Spotify: The music streaming platform has a free plan that anyone can join, but only paying customers can access their premium features (like ad-free music, unlimited plays, etc.).
Dollar Shave Club: They advertise their “Dollar a Day” tagline, but they also offer lots of more expensive bundles. For instance, their customers can get a higher-quality razor for an extra fee.
Away Travel: This is an extremely successful online brand that sells luggage and travel accessories. They encourage shoppers to buy bigger and more expensive suitcases.
