Cross-Selling
Cross-selling is a procedure by which organisations, based on their internal records, can estimate the likelihood that a customer will purchase/use additional services. This concept had been designed to assist database marketers and marketing managers in determining when individuals should be targeted for the promotion of a new product.
Technique Overview
Cross-Selling Definition
Cross-selling describes "the practice of selling an additional product or service to an existing customer" (Li et al., 2011:683). Cross-selling is an established and valuable technique which increases order size as well as transforming single-product buyers into multi-product buyers (Kamakura, 2008). In many industries, such as financial services, insurance, healthcare, accounting, telecommunications, airlines, and retailing, cross-selling is established as a top strategic priority (Li et al., 2011).
