How to Create Upsell Offers That Increase Average Order Value
Upselling and cross-selling are the highest-margin growth levers in e-commerce. You've already paid to acquire the customer — getting them to spend more costs almost nothing.
This guide covers the psychology and structure of upsell offers that work.
The 30% Rule
Upsell offers convert best when the add-on price is 30% or less of the main order value. Price your upsells within the psychological "while I'm here" threshold.
