Using Up Selling To Increase Your Profitability
Posted by Shawna Fennell
Do you know why your favorite fast food restaurant asks you if you want fries with that?
BECAUSE IT WORKS!
Check out this article in USA Today. Up sells and cross-sells are helping to increase sales for retail owners.
In fact, Yahoo revealed that by implementing their automatic cross-sell feature…
Store owners see an increase of 30% in average sales.
That is truly awesome!
Starting today, I want you to have your customer service people asking for the up sell when customers call to place an order over the phone.
Find a product within your store that your average customer would want.
As you take your customers order, simply ask them:
“Would you like to add PRODUCT NAME to your order?”
The worst they could say is no 
So now it is my turn to offer you some fries!
We know that things are tight and I want to help you increase your sales.
Purchase a Level 2 or above and we will upgrade you to the next level - FREE
Example:
Order a Level 3 design and Upgrade to a Level 4 for FREE
Simply put in the comments field of your order - Upgrade My Package!
But you need to hurry, this special offer will end soon.
We will be in the office tomorrow from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM Eastern time answering your questions and if you are on a tight budget… give us a call.
We can always work out a payment plan!
