Business Marketing Advertising

Do you want fries with that?

Upselling and cross promotion is a great way to increase your sales without spending more money on advertising and promotion. When I was working in a restaurant, the restaurant managers gave us a lot of training on how to upsell the customers.

You wonder why they put the beautiful, mouthwatering dessert tray right at the entrance of the restaurants? When you go to Olive Garden, the wait staff always ask you if you want free wine samples? When you go to McDonalds, they always ask you “do you want fries with that?” If you go to Starbucks, they probably ask you “Do you want some breakfast as well?”
