Strategies of Upselling

Imagine that you are going through a fast " food restaurant drive through. A special meal has been ordered by you and at that moment, the cashier questions you as to whether you would like your meal to be larger or extra large by only spending just a few more cents. You think that the offer made to you is not bad and you would like to go for it.

You may not have realized that the cashier has just created an upsell: he traded with you more than what you had actually intended to buy. This is an extremely simple example; however this is the exact way on how an upsell works. Upselling is considered to be the most effective way for maximizing your profit.
