Upselling means selling a customer a more expensive version of the product they’re considering. For example, a women’s apparel store might sell a bargain-priced white cotton shirt for $19.99, a heavier-weight, better-quality white cotton shirt for $50, and a similar-styled silk shirt for $120.
Cross-selling means selling add-on purchases that complement the customer’s primary purchase. Examples include selling a customer a phone case to go with their new smartphone or a scarf to complement that white shirt.
