cross-selling is a strategy based on offering products and services in addition to the primary selected product that could be bought together.

In cross-selling usually the main focus is on selling products or services that are complementary to the primary chosen product. It helps customers to make a decision about an additional purchase giving them satisfaction at the same time.

Strategy works best when we know the customer’s preferences. It can be done after analysis of their previous purchases or by qualifying them into specific groups of customers defined before.

Average Order Value (AOV) is the average amount which a customer leaves after a specific transaction on your e-commerce. Usually though in online sales the most popular metric is a conversion rate but the AOV it's no less important and it’s good to keep it optimized.

Conversion rate otherwise known as average amount of conversions by one interaction with a shop expressed as percentages. In e-commerce,  usually it’s a number of sales transactions divided by the amount of sessions. Most of companies take care about increasing their conversion and therefore an increasing number of transactions

Strategy model allowing for real growth includes not only increasing a conversion rate, but the increasing average order value too and up-selling or cross-selling just lead to this.

We can find examples of cross-selling everywhere, in every industry. From electronics (like set builds of a laptop, case and mouse), to the garden industry (for ex. combination of seeds, land, flowerpot and fertilizer).

Fashion seems to be the main industry for cross-selling. Clothes are products which we use everyday in large amounts. This is where their mutual fit is important to us. Based on that, what most stores can offer are simple combinations of products based on categories (ex. dress + handbag + shoes).

The problem, however, is that while electronics don't necessarily give each other a sense of visual consistency, no one is going to wear a dress with extremely mismatched shoes. Hiring a specialist to create outfits for each product on a regular basis and then implementing them in production sounds like a horror story. So how can you approach increasing the AOV without involving human and financial resources to such an extent? It's worth hiring technology to do it.
