Best Practices

When to Use Featured Upsell

✅ High-value product ($50+)
✅ Limited product selection (1 strategic item)

✅ Premium/luxury products

❌ Multiple product recommendations
❌ Low-value items (under $20)

Product Selection Strategy

High-Margin Items

Focus on products with strong profit margins:

Example: If selling $30 shirt, feature $80 premium jacket
Benefit: Maximize revenue per conversion

Bestsellers

Leverage social proof of popular items:

Example: "Our #1 Bestseller" or "Customer Favorite"
Benefit: High conversion due to popularity

Strategic Products

Promote items aligned with business goals:

Example: New collection launch or seasonal items
Benefit: Inventory management and strategic focus

Pricing Strategy

Sweet Spot: 50-100% of average cart value
Example: $75 cart value → Feature $50-$100 product
Too Low: <30% of cart value (not compelling)
Too High: >150% of cart value (overwhelming)

Cart Value-Based

Show featured premium product when cart < $100
Reasoning: Opportunity to increase order value

Product Category-Based

Show complementary featured product based on cart contents
Example: Cart has running shoes → Feature premium running socks

Customer Segment-Based

Show different featured products to different segments:
- New customers: Bestseller (proven choice)
- Returning customers: New arrival (variety)
- VIP customers: Premium exclusive item

Seasonal Strategy

Show seasonal featured products:
- Summer: Sunglasses, swimwear
- Winter: Outerwear, cold weather accessories
- Holidays: Gift sets, special editions
