Review of Automatic Related Products Magento 2 Extension to Increase Upsells

(26)

“But… I only came here for bottled water!” — says a customer at the store checkout holding a week-long supply of snacks and a fancy candlestick. 

Every time that happens, a marketer grins somewhere — upselling and cross-selling are the irresistible tactics even in groceries, not to mention the industries where you sell something more personal, like clothes.

On average, cross-selling increases sales by 20%. As an eCommerce merchant, you are in a privileged position as compared to your peers with a physical store: not only do you have the arsenal of neat techniques to increase upselling and cross-selling, but, crucially, you can personalize. 

Technologically, Magento merchants have a huge advantage. All they have to do to implement the upselling functionality is install Amasty Automated Related Products for Magento 2.

How Magento 2 Automatic Related Products Extension Works

Amasty Automatic Related Products extension allows a retailer to suggest and showcase the products that are related to the customer’s recent shopping activity. This is the very “wizard” who somehow knows that since you are looking at, e.g. a black raincoat, you could also go for a matching scarf (you know, a similar to the one you were browsing the other day).

The extension stands one step ahead of the ubiquitous “People-who-bought-this-also…” mechanism. Instead of equating one customer to another and assuming things, Automatic Related Products Magento 2 draws on the data from that very customer. Using the data in a smart algorithm further creates a tailored offering and increases upselling and cross-selling.

In practice, you can apply flexible rules like “same as”, “equals”, or “less than” to make the engine check the suggestions against what the customer is looking at and come up with the perfect variant. For example, a merchant can follow the “not more than 25%” principle: the item suggested for cross-selling shouldn’t be more expensive than ¼ of the base SKU.
