Upsell / cross-sell funnels.
Upsell and cross-sell funnels across the customer lifecycle — order bump at cart, one-click upsell at checkout, replenishment cross-sell at the post-purchase moment, complementary-product offers at lifecycle stages where conversion is highest. Adds 15–30% to average order value on most categories.

- 01
Offer mapping
For each product, the natural upsell, cross-sell, and bundle pairings. Built from your actual purchase data, not from generic best-practice templates.
- 02
Funnel placement
Cart bump (low-friction add), one-click checkout upsell (higher-ticket commit), post-purchase upsell (no-friction add to existing order), email follow-up (longer time horizon).
- 03
Bundle architecture
Three to five core bundles per category at strategic price points. Often outperforms one-off cross-sell because the buyer feels like they’re getting a deal.

Performance reporting
Each offer measured individually: take-rate, incremental revenue, cannibalisation. Underperformers killed; winners scaled.
01 Will upsells annoy my customers?
Only if you do them wrong. Bad upsells (irrelevant offers, hard-to-skip flow, aggressive copy) annoy customers and hurt long-term retention. Good upsells (relevant pairings, clear value, easy skip) lift AOV without affecting NPS or repeat rate.
02 What take-rate should I expect?
Cart bump: 8–20%. One-click checkout upsell: 5–12%. Post-purchase upsell: 12–25%. Email cross-sell: 1–3% conversion. Bundle uptake: 15–40% of orders, depending on bundle design.
03 Can this work for subscription categories?
Yes, with different tactics. For subscriptions, upsell usually means tier upgrades, add-on subscriptions, or one-time gift items added to a recurring shipment. Different funnel, same principle.
