Upsell
Learn about upsell and how to add one to your sales funnel
What is upsell and downsell?
Upsell and downsell are the techniques that marketers and sellers use in their sales funnels to increase order value and maximize profit.
Upsell is when you offer an upgraded, premium, or more complete version of a product or service that the customer aims to buy and naturally should be more expensive.
Downsell is when you offer a low-cost and more affordable alternative or the option of the product or service.
When to use upsell and downsell?
The most common way to use upsell is when the customer has almost completed their order, which in the sales funnel is right after the checkout page and before the thank you page. And the general way to offer downsell is like upsell (between checkout and thank you page) but if you have an upsell in your funnel then best practice is to add the downsell step after upsell when the customer rejects the upsell offer.
For example, a customer is about to purchase a chef knife and just before the thank you page you offer them a full kitchen knife set with some discount (your upsell offer) and if they reject in the next attempt on another page you can offer a ham slicer (this one is your downsell offer). If the customer accepts either of those offers their order value has increased and so has your profit.
