Put upselling and cross-selling on autopilot
Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2025 5:35 am
There are at least 2 ways to do upselling. The first is to show additional offers as prospects move to checkout. If that works for your business, great. But if you’re just starting to think about how to generate more revenue through upselling, we’d recommend trying a different approach first, which is to show an upselling offer after the first sale is closed.
And here's how you can do it most effectively:
First, you can place your upsell or cross-sell offer in an automated email series for your new customers. Using an email automation tool like Drip, you can have your e-commerce platform link contacts to the bosnia-and-herzegovina phone number data products they purchased, so your customers receive personalized recommendations.
Second, you can use retargeting ads to show these offers to new customers. Facebook's Custom Audiences tool allows you to automatically send new customers to a custom audience to show them your Facebook retargeting ads.

12. Place a call to action at the end of the email
How many individual messages do you send to your subscribers daily? If it's a significant number, consider turning the end of your emails into a call to action.
Most companies link here to their home page, but if there's something special about what you're promoting, you can use this space to attract attention from unexpected sources.

13. Provide Impatient Leads with a Shortcut
If you have a well-designed email marketing strategy, you probably have a finely tuned sequence of emails that slowly lead people to the end goal of becoming a (regular, loyal) customer.
But not everyone needs such a slow approach. Some of your new leads may buy your product the next day, so you need to make it easy for them, but at the same time avoid selling too hard to people who aren't ready yet.
One way to do this is to look for places in your emails where you can create a “shortcut”:
