What's up everyone takedown here welcome back to another video. Today we have a taste test and I'm really excited because we're going to be trying for the first time a Mexi crates. Now this is the smallest box that they do have and it is pretty small I must say but it does have some weights to it. So we're going to be checking this out. Let's get right into this. So this is the first time that I've ordered a Mexi crates. This Mexi crates is there's seven or eight dollar one now that is US now because I live in Canada I have to pay a little bit more for shipping. So in total this small box cost me $30 Canadian. Now like I said in the intro it does have some weight to it but it is a small box so instead of like the munch packs and other things that I've ordered for taste tests in the past that consisted of chocolate chips and stuff like that because of the weights I'm assuming it's a lot more hard candy which I prefer to be having chocolate and chips and that kind of stuff that's what I prefer as a treats but this here I still want to give it a try so let's open it up and check it out see what's inside. So once you open up the box first thing is this little Mexi crates sticker and that's really cool because from geek fuel and loot crates the stickers that I've gotten in the past from other subscription boxes and taste test videos I always keep them so I do collect stickers so that is actually really cool. The next thing is this little card for telling you to enjoy it and it says poster box to tiktok instagram or facebook and tag us for a chance to win a $20 gift card that is really cool I'm likely going to do that and now for the candy this is what we are working with so it does look like it's a lot more hard candy which is what I expected now the intent of me purchasing this box was not only for a youtube video but also to share with my beautiful girlfriends and just by glancing at what we got there is a lot of doubles which normally I do not like but since I bought this to share that is pretty interesting so there is going to be a sealed pack for everything or most things that I try I think mostly everything there's at least two of so up first we're going to just dive right into it is indy hormica's so this is what it looks like here really small it looks like a barbecue flavored peanut I'm not sure if I'm going to like this I don't know how spicy it is but let's give it a try here I know the description said bitter sweets and spicy powder I got no heat from it whatsoever it's extremely bitter to the point that it's gross I think there's still a lot of powder on this and I didn't even get to the watermelon part I'm going to say right now that's a pass for me that is a negative the next one here I'm going to go with this sucker I'm assuming it's a sucker it's in the shape of a bone it does have a little coating on it so I'm wondering if this is going to be spicy as well I'm just going to leave it like that so that's what it looks like it has a orange hue to it but there is this powder all over it we're going to give it a try that's the second candy in a row I don't even know what kind it is the powder is throwing it off for me the first one couldn't even get to the watermelon flavored candy inside this one here I have no clue what it's supposed to taste like but the the powder is extremely bitter I have no sweetness to it it's not spicy at least but it's extremely better and I'm not one that likes anything better so that's another one that I do not like the next one here looks like another watermelon candy and at least this one here doesn't have any coating on it or powder coating which is really cool it says pulp are in dots probably did not pronounce that right it kind of looks like a fruit gusher but it is a hard candy or at least has a hard coating on it let's try it it's soft that is it does have a spice to it the spice is inside oh god really spicy but to the point that for me anyways since I like heat it's enjoyable it's not over spicy it does sneak up on you and there is the watermelon flavor but it's not like an artificial watermelon flavor it's really really good so this candy here I give this one a thumbs up it does taste pretty good it has a nice spice to it which is what I expected it just really snuck up on me there the next item we're gonna go with is a nether sucker this one there's two in the box it is a cherry strawberry artificial flavored hard candy lollipop so here's what it looks like it looks like the literally two flavors just mixed together we're gonna try it here I think the dark red side is cherry that's what they did instead of mixing up two flavors it's literally one side is cherry and the lighter side is strawberry this one here no heat just sweetness so I do like that a little bit more than the first two candies this one here I'm also gonna give it a thumbs up it is really good next up we're gonna be trying it looks to be like a marshmallow covered or a chocolate covered marshmallow on a stick I think honestly that is exactly what this is it just looks like a marshmallow that is covered in chocolate and then they put it on a stick so let's just give it a little taste here exactly what it is I'm gonna say it's good so I'm gonna give it a thumbs up it has an odd chocolate taste to it almost like an extremely cheap chocolate taste really good so I'm gonna give it a thumbs up because I do enjoy this one next we're gonna try this little bar here it looks like there is I don't know caramel or some kind of candy coating on it but it literally just looks like a bunch of peanuts put together let's try it simple um um some kind of candy it's not caramel it's not uh peanut butter which is something else I thought it was going to be but it's just straight peanuts and sugar with kind of a glaze that keeps it together um it is really good I'm going to give this one a thumbs up as well pretty basic but the flavor is there it's pretty simple but it is pretty good I do enjoy that it is called roco leta and there is fire literally everywhere on this sucker and it's the only other thing that I see that is English says lollipop with chili powder and chewing gum center and it says four chili layers and then there's the gum center you know what instead of just talking about it let's just try it I'm not sure if I'm gonna like this it might be too hot this thing looks terrifying it does not look welcoming at all it looks like there's little chili flakes in the candy regardless let's give this little try here I think it's going to be coming out as fast as I'm putting it in my mouth let's try it well as fast as I put it in my mouth it came right back out it's literally like a lollipop flavor but with chili in it so it's chili flavored candy um it's not spicy but it just has an overall gross taste to it I think I'm done with that one little lick pop it in your mouth take it out not for me hard pass thumbs down not good whatsoever so we do have another snack from pulp rindo probably butchered that like I already mentioned kind of looks like a push pop I'm gonna open it up here and try it out okay so it looks like there is a little cover on it oh what is this oh god I'm not gonna push it all the way out I'm just gonna try what's on top it looks really liquidy I thought this was gonna be like a hard candy it's not it's really I'm not gonna like this I think it's honestly the fruits that was inside the first candy that I liked I still liked it but let's just try it I don't know what fruit that is it's definitely what was in the center of the first candy that I liked the watermelon candies the green ones I don't like this it just tastes like that the first one at least it had watermelon flavor but was extremely spicy this is just some kind of spicy fruits I don't enjoy that whatsoever disgusting hard pass from me and we do have one candy left that is lucas spaghetti this is sour green apple that is really cool so inside here this is the candy that is basically like spaghetti there's a pack of sauce inside that is really cool so I'm assuming just like spaghetti you'll take the container out you'll put the noodles in it and then you'll cover it in that sauce now because that I think would be extremely messy I'm just gonna try the green candy itself I get a little hints of sourness I'm not a fan of sour things at all a little hint of sourness but it's not really sour candy whatsoever so I'm wondering if the sauce is what makes this sour again I'm not going to be trying the sauce because that'd be really messy and again I want to share this with my girlfriends so this is everything that is in the mexi crates however there is some doubles of what the candy I have tried in this video now I'm going to be sharing that like I said with my girlfriends but above all I did enjoy this box however some of the spicier candies I did not care about whatsoever the first two snacks hard pass for me the two I didn't really like was this one here this is the worst one in my opinion and the first one that I tried that I liked these ones here they are better but they're not the best that's in this box I think above all else I think the spaghetti candy apple candy was probably the best the peanut butter was okay the marshmallow ones were okay but this was actually pretty decent of what we get in it and you get a lot of smaller items I just wish that it wasn't as many doubles and I wish it wasn't as many suckers and hard candy I get that because it's Mexican crates they're gonna have a lot of spicier snacks and spicier candy I just wasn't expecting some of the heats that came with some of the candy what I get from mexi crate in the future possibly because I do enjoy doing taste tests and I did enjoy for the most part this box and what I received however I'm going to be looking in the future for other things that not only I can bring to the channel to do taste tests for I've tried munchpack and I might be bringing munchpacks back in the future but I want to explore and try other stuff there is a Japan crate that I want to try and a few other things on the way and I also am looking for other things to unbox on the channel just to have fun and put the money that I earned on YouTube back into the channel that is what I really want to do so if you guys have any suggestions of things for taste tests or unboxing videos in the future that you want to see me do comment them down below of what I should be unboxing or doing as taste tests I'm going to leave this video here from my opinion was mexi crate worth it I'm going to say yes because some of the candies were extremely unique and definitely completely different than what we see here in North America hope you guys enjoyed this video I'm going to leave us here please take care peace


Ukraine drones use flamethrowers on Russian ships. Retta has released footage it says shows the dramatic moment its forces used drones armed with flamethrowers against Russian ships. Newsweek reported. Ukraine Ukrainian Internal Affairs Advisor Anton Gerashchenko has shared a clip he said showed unique footage of combat between Ukrainian drones and Russian coastal ships, the first of such kind in history. The 15 second video taken from a vessel shows flashes across the sky with Gerashchenko writing when Ukrainian sea baby drones encountered Russian ships they turned around and fired back using a flamethrower system. It comes as Ukrainian media reported that the country's security service had used sea baby drones to help restore the grain corridor in the Black Sea which has allowed the transport of Ukrainian products from the war zone. Sea baby carries a payload of 1,900 pounds is equipped with a $30,000 communication system and has a flamethrower system. In July 2023 Russia pulled out of the Black Sea grain initiative and subsequently bombed the Ukrainian port of Odessa. But Kyiv has managed to circumvent a blockade and continues to transport goods overseas. Head of the Ukrainian security service Vasyl Malyuk told Ukrainian news outlet Ukrainska Pravda that Kyiv has started to increase the use of drones for use at sea and that the sea baby devices are being developed by engineers, IT specialists and marine personnel. No private companies are involved in this development, he told the outlet.

So your Shopify store started getting sales or it's about to get sales, you're about to launch your store, but there's only one little problem. You're not making enough profit on each order. You want to increase your AOV, which is your average order value, and simply make more profit on each transaction and get more profits at the end of the month, which is exactly what I'm going to go over in this video when I teach you guys about the best e-commerce upselling and cross-selling apps to use on your Shopify stores for those exact reasons. Quick intro and let's go. Hello everyone. I hope you're all having a great day today. My name is Luan from AutoDS. I'm the content manager and I've also been dropshipping for the last several years. And in this video, I want to talk to you guys about the best e-commerce upselling and cross-selling apps to use for your Shopify stores so that you can increase your average order value and simply make more profit on each order and more profits at the end of the month, which is what we're all here for. So without further ado, if you are new to our YouTube channel, this is the part where you need to subscribe to always stay updated on all of the latest and all of the hottest topics that we have coming out in the dropshipping world and everything that's related to it when it comes to product finding articles, dropshipping tips and strategies, suppliers, marketplaces, new features and so much more. Hit that subscribe button and enable those notifications and let's go. So what is e-commerce upselling in the first place? And what's the difference between upselling and cross-selling? Let's go over that really quick. Let's say you want to buy a brand new laptop. Now it doesn't matter if you're purchasing this laptop online or at a local retail store. So for this example, let's go to the local retail store. You walk up to the salesperson and you tell him, hey, I'm looking for a laptop with a dual core processor, maybe four gigabytes of RAM. It's enough for me. Windows 10 and that's just about it. That's enough for me. I just want to surf the web a little bit and that's just about it. So those specs fit my needs. Now the computer salesperson tells you, okay, no problem. I got that computer dual core processor, four gigabytes of RAM right here. It costs $200. But for an extra $100, you can get it with 16 gigabytes of RAM, a quad core CPU and a 3D card. If maybe you want to play some games, edit some videos or anything that you might want to do a year or two from now, but you'll be limiting yourself if you don't upgrade your system now. For just $100, it actually sounds pretty good to be set for the next three, four or five years. So why should I be buying this laptop for only one year? And then in the next year, I'll have to buy it again. So you know what? It actually sounds pretty good. Go ahead and upgrade me. And the salesperson says, great, let me get that quad core laptop ready for you. So what just happened was he just upsell you when you're about to buy a product, but you've been upgraded to a higher version of that same product that is called an upsell. So what just happened is you increase the average order value or the AOV for the retailer, for that store that's selling you that laptop. So they're making more profit because if they're profiting, let's say 20% from $100 or 20% from $200, then obviously 20% from $200 is going to make them more money. So the higher the price, the more profit. And when you upsell, once again, you're taking the product that you want to buy, scratch it out and get another product instead of it. So that once again is upselling. Now, the same salesperson tells you, okay, so here's your quad core laptop, all is good, it's only going to cost you $300.  Okay, whoa, so I can't come back tomorrow and get the same deal because it's only for people who buy a brand new PC at the same time, while they're still in the store.  What that is, is called a cross sell. So what happens is I still got my main product, which is the quad core laptop, I'm still keeping that laptop, I'm not upgrading it to a different product, but I'm adding more products on the side, that is called cross selling. Now in this video, we are going to talk about the best Shopify upselling apps. And we will be talking also a little bit about cross selling, because that is also a very good thing to have. Let's see some live examples of upselling and cross selling techniques. And then we'll get right onto the list of the best upselling apps to use for your Shopify stores to increase your average order values and get more profit. So here are some good examples of upselling examples. This one is coming from Amazon. So let me just zoom in on this image a little bit. And as you can see here, this is when you're trying to buy a fire tablet from Amazon. So what happens here is they show you the main product. And when you scroll down a little bit, you're seeing this comparison chart. And what we're seeing here is the original fire seven that we clicked on for $50. Here you can see the specs, right, the resolution, the screen size, the storage, CPU, RAM and so forth. And then they're starting to upsell you, which is change the main product, change this fire seven to a fire HD eight for $90 with better specifications, or an HD eight plus higher price, better specifications or the fire HD 10 their flagship model for the fire tablets. This one is coming with a 10 inch full HD 1080p 32 or 64 gigabytes of RAM, the best specs that they have for that fire laptop. So what they did is they are slowly and gradually upgrading you step by step.  But when you do it gradually from 50 to 90 90 110 110 150, they try to balance it out a little bit as much as they could. And this way, no matter what your budget is, you can definitely go with the upselling here, get a better laptop, put a little bit more money on the side. And that is how that is done. And just so you guys know, over 67% of e-commerce stores today are using upselling and cross selling techniques. And that is because it works. So hopefully after this video, you guys will understand exactly how and why, and you will start to implement them in your stores if you are not doing it yet. So that's one upselling example when they're trying to upgrade to a better tablet, showing you better specs and a higher budget step by step, not jumping from $50 to $150. Here is another way that they're doing it by using the customers who viewed this item also viewed here, you're looking at some espresso machine. And when you scroll down a little bit, instead of seeing some comparison chart like this, because you cannot upgrade this machine to the same manufacturer, but only get an upgraded version or whatnot. So there are a few different upselling examples. In this case, you're looking at some espresso machine, and Amazon is saying customers who viewed this espresso machine also viewed these espresso machines. In this case, they're trying to switch the main product with a much more expensive and upgraded version of that product as we're seeing here. So as to increase their average order value, their AOV and make more profit after each sale. Now let's see another example from overstock, another huge drop shipping supplier, how they use upselling techniques. So here we are looking at some certain type of sofa, which costs in this case $492.09. And what happens when you scroll down just a little bit is similar items in sofas and couches. So what you're doing here once again, is they're switching the main product with a different product only this time, look at the prices, almost $1,770. Every price that we see here is more expensive than the original price because there is no point in upselling and showing a cheaper product to upsell, which means you'll make less profit by upselling that product. And then there's you didn't really do anything effective using the upselling technique. So again, upselling is switching the main product with another one that has to be more expensive. It has to be an upgraded version of that product. And it cannot be a product that is not connected to the main product. So you cannot switch a laptop, for example, with a dining table. That makes no sense. Nobody is going to do that. And you're simply probably going to miss that sale. So there's another example that AliExpress is upselling. But I think you guys got the point. You understand what upselling looks like.  Home Depot is doing it too by showing comparison charts just like Amazon. As you can see here, a slow cooker. And in this case, you're starting with the cheapest one. And as you go along, it's getting more expensive and more expensive to a more upgraded product. They're doing it also by doing comparison charts and also by showing you customers who viewed this also viewed just like Amazon. They learn from the best because these techniques work. So now that I'm sure that you guys have a great idea of what upselling is, the difference between upselling and cross-selling, when you're changing the main product on upselling and in cross-selling, when you're just adding accessories to go with the main product, both ways increase your average order value. But if you really want to get a kick out of it, you need to focus on upselling, changing the main product to a more upgraded, more expensive version of the main product. And if you're able to cross sell, that's another nice little bonus along the way. So let's get on with the main event. What are the best e-commerce upselling Shopify apps to use for your Shopify dropshipping stores to increase your average order value, get more profit from each transaction, each sale that you make, and make much more profit at the end of the month this way. Let's go ahead and get started with that list. The first Shopify upselling app that I want to recommend you guys to use is called reconvert, upsell and cross sell. So in this case, you guessed it, this application is going to help you with upselling and also with cross-selling. So it's going to help you change the main product to a more upgraded, more advanced, more expensive version of that product. And at the same time, it'll also help you cross selling so you can add more accessories to go with that main product and increase your average order value even more. There are more apps. I want to show you a small example of how this one works. So I'm going to click on add app. And as you see here, it's synchronizing now with my Shopify store, you're about to install reconvert, post purchase, upsell, going to click on install app. So as you see, installing apps is as easy as clicking on the link and clicking on install app. Okay, so here they're letting me know that we're getting a free trial. We're going to click on let's go. And once again, I want to approve my subscription. So I'm going to click on approve subscription, $0. Okay, so this is what it looks like after you install the app. There's a few things you can do here. For example, enable the app to actually start working on your website. But before that, you do want to customize it and set up your settings. So you can start by creating a new template and taking actions on your existing ones. If you scroll down, you'll get a dashboard to see exactly how much sales this app helped you to get and an overall dashboard on everything that's going on with the impressions, the bounce rates, total orders, the average order values and so forth. And as you see here, you can create a template for any type of situation that you can come across when it comes to upselling and cross selling for the products on your store. Here, for example, you have a thank you first name. So this is after a customer purchases something from your store, and they get a thank you message. So you can completely customize that and get them to buy more products for even after they buy from your store. Here you see people who bought this also bought. So this is another way of upselling as I've showed you in some examples before. So you can get a product and when someone is looking at a specific product, you can tell reconvert to tell them that people who bought this product also bought these three products instead. And of course, they have to be a more upgraded, a more expensive version of that main product. So this is another upselling technique that we have using reconvert. Here you have another order is confirmed page. So you can customize that you can also share your order on social media. So customize that however way you want it. And that way your buyer can also share their purchase and maybe get some of their friends or family to see that post and get to your store and also buy one for themselves. Another one here is how they will see it on the card page. So you can customize that too. Let us know we are birthday, a special gift will be heading your way. So this is a nice way to get your customers birthdays or even get them on your mailing list and start building your email subscriber list. So you know that this app can help you with that too.  Here you can put a product and simply give your buyers a nice discount. This may not be an upselling or cross selling technique, but it's a nice little feature that this app can help you with. And as you see here, you can completely customize everything and anything. I will not do it in this video because it will simply be too long. But as you see here, for example, on the left area, you can add more sections. And in those sections, you see all of the things that you can do. For example, product upsell. Now I added another product upsell on the left side of this page, but we already have it. So this is just creating some kind of a landing page. You need to create the right pages for your store and also show them all of these nice upselling techniques because this app is really one of the best upselling apps that we were able to find on Shopify today. The best part is it also has a free plan, which you can use for up to the first 50 orders that you get on every month. So that makes it a lot more comfortable. Only start spending money after you start making money. That is one of the best business models that I can think of. Reconvert upselling cross sell is number one on our list. And it is one of our favorites. Here's a nice little screenshot of how it looks like after you implement those upselling features so you can see it here. And that is number one on our list. Number two, we have an app called Honeycomb Upsell Funnels. What this does is it helps you create cross sell and upsell funnels on your Shopify store. So if I click on it just to show you some examples, but I will not install every app right now. So as you can see, their main goal is to help you create upsell and cross selling funnels. So they're good at creating upsell funnels for our stores and using the media gallery, I'll show you some of their examples. So here you can create an offer as you can see here. This is a limited time offer that will expire in this much minutes and this many seconds. So here they can add it to order or check out, continue to check out. Here you can start to split A B test your upselling funnels. So in this example, you're creating a certain type of offer. So grab this deal leather dog leash for this much money. This is how much you're saving. Choose your variation color, choose your size and choose your quantity. Then you got vegan treats were in this case you're choosing a pack size. So one, two, three, four, five, six pack in this example and what flavor you want. So it's different options than what we're seeing here. You can completely customize the drop down menu and even make it an open text field as you can see here. So custom pet head cover, your pet's name fill in your pet's name and they will simply print it out on that pet head cover. So that's another way of using this upselling funnel and this screenshot is showing you that you can simply split A B test your upselling funnels and see exactly what's working well, what's not working and the more you test the more you analyze the more results you're going to see on your drop shipping stores and that goes for just about anything. Here's a nice example of what I just explained. So split A B testing two different split test funnels and as you can see here B did much better than A giving us 13.3% better conversions as opposed to A with a negative 5.8% which means this one decreased our conversions and this one increased them. So obviously we know which one we are going for. So this is what the honeycomb upsell and cross cell funnels is good for and that's why it is number two on our list for the top upsell Shopify apps. Let's move on to number three. Here we got an app called frequently bought together and this one is self explanatory with its title. I will just show you the image for this app because once again it's very self explanatory and this is what it does. So we talked about how Amazon and other big online retailers, drop shipping suppliers and anything else you want to call them, they are using upselling techniques like frequently bought together like what we're seeing here. So this one goes inside the product page and what this app is going to do is it's going to create your frequently bought together on every product page that you have that you choose where you want to have that frequently bought together. Now I'm not sure if you guys noticed this yet but this is a cross selling example as opposed to upselling examples which is what we saw up until now. In this example we are not switching the main product, we're not upgrading it to a better more expensive version of that product. What we're doing here is we're telling the buyer, hey anyone who's buying this bike is usually buying this and this lock too so all these accessories usually go together with this bike. That's what customers usually buy. You might want to go ahead and do that too or at least consider doing it. That's why we're giving you this option and then in this case instead of a total cost of $329 for that bicycle, we're going to end up paying $637.99 but we are going to get it with these accessories that we need. So frequently bought together is a great cross selling app to have and as you guys know the biggest online retailers, dropshipping suppliers, whatever you want to call them, the biggest e-commerce stores in the world today are using upselling and cross selling techniques such as this one. So there's no reason for you not to take those practices and implement them on your dropshipping stores too. Our fourth app on the list is an app called UFE 2.0 Upsell Funnel Engine. As you can see here, let me show you the image and by the way you can click on every one of these apps and install them really easily by using the link to the blog that we have below this video. Over there you have the links to every app that I'm talking about but of course do keep watching this video because I am throwing in more value here. So here once again we're inside a product page just like frequently bought together. Only in this case what this app is telling us to do is buy more quantities of that same product and this way get a discount, the more quantity you buy, the bigger volume discount we are going to give you. So while we're not upgrading the current product with a more expensive, more upgraded version of that product and we're not adding in more accessories, we are increasing our average order value our AOV which means at the end of the day we are going to profit more even if we give them 15 or 10% off for buying a higher quantity we're still going to make more profit because the average order value inside our cart continued to increase and we are working by percentages. So as long as we're not profiting small numbers like 10 or 20% per order we need to make more profits than that. That way no matter what quantity they're buying we're just going to profit more and more. The last app that I want to talk to you guys about is called Candy Rack One Click Upsells. This is a great app to use for every buyer or every potential customer who added a product to their cart. So once they click that add to cart button you can trigger something really special to happen on your stores and that can either be a cross selling or upselling technique. Here you can see that we're in a product page an analog alarm clock and what they're giving you is an option to upgrade to a better version of that product or add accessories to go with the initial product. So the upgrading options here are upselling techniques and the options to add are cross selling techniques. You can use them both and that's what's so special about this app called Candy Rack. So once again it's a mix of upselling and cross selling and you can do it all once the customer adds a product to their cart. Let me see if there's an example where we can see from their store from an example store right here. So I'm going to click on view example store and this way you can see exactly how it's going to work on your store once you add this app. So what I'm going to do is choose my variation and then click on add to cart which is where this app needs to come into play. Okay so I clicked on add to cart and as you see just as that image showed us. So here I can upgrade to a better version of that product or I can add more accessories even extend my warranty or first in line get faster shipping. So these are all great ideas to increase our average order value and that is what's so special about Candy Rack the fifth Shopify dropshipping app that I want to recommend you guys to use for your upselling and cross selling techniques increase your AOVs and make more profit on every order that you get. Now I want to recommend some more apps but first let's talk about some do's and don'ts when it comes to upselling. Keep this in mind along the way. Number one when you're upselling look at the pricing don't go up to more than 25% more let me rephrase that if the initial product costs $100 and you want to upsell them to a better more advanced more upgraded version of that product the first jump should be somewhere around 25% so once again the initial product costs $100 the upgraded product that you want them to move to should cost $125 of course you cannot make it exactly on the number but this is the main idea if you go 50% more 75% more 100% more there's a high chance that they will not go through with that upselling process and they will stick with the main original product up to 25% more see how that works for that specific product on that specific audience and move forward from there. Number two offer product comparisons and similar products so we already talked about this how to create customers view this also viewed showing product comparisons and products that are similar to this one. Number three upsell your best sellers so if you have a lot of products on your store and it's going to take you way too much time to upsell each and every one of them start with the products that are selling these are the products that are most likely going to sell again and the buyers will see your upselling techniques there and they most likely will go through with the upselling process because you will offer them a better version of that product that they may not have known that you have on your store until they saw your upselling attempt. Number four do not overwhelm the customers so don't throw offers all over the place offering so many similar items or increasing the price by more than 25% don't overwhelm them with the numbers don't try to confuse them keep everything simple and basic that's what the buyers like to see and that is what you should do on your stores. Number five and the final piece of advice and this is a very obvious one listen to your customers see what they have to say check your emails check your messages whatever social media platforms you have connected to your store see if they're sending you any messages over there and reply to them in many cases they're just asking a simple question and once you answer them they see that there's a human being on the other side that's good enough for them they'll go through with the purchase and you will enjoy that sell too so listen to your customers do not overwhelm them upsell your best sellers they have a much higher chance of selling again and they will be able to go with the upselling product that you are trying to upgrade them to offer different product comparisons similar products we talked about that one too and how to do it and which apps will help you do it and up to 25% more to begin with once you see that it's working really well you can change it to 230 40 and even 50% more but work your way up slowly and let's go back to do not overwhelm your customers with those numbers now I want to talk to you guys about a few more apps that you can use we have another article this one talks about the best one click upsell Shopify dropshipping apps and the difference between regular upsell and one click upsell is that one click upsell apps are going to upgrade your customers card in just one click so they won't have to click around a few times choose something else and see what's going to go on after that these apps do it really really quick straight and to the point so the first one is called one click upsell zipify ocu I'm not going to go over it now but just so you know it's there and I'm going to leave the link right below this video to another one is called goodie basket the third one is called product accessories you can see an example here of how they can help you this is obviously a cross-selling app we're on the product page in just one click as you can see here the customer can just click okay I want this one and this one and this one to go along too that's it add to cart in that one click to add to cart he already has all of the cross-selling products that he wants to buy with this product another one is called ultra cod pre-order and upsell and another one is called checkout promotions and upsells now once again I do not want to go too much in depth because this video took longer than it should have but you know me I love to share the value I can go on forever these are the best Shopify upselling and cross-selling apps to use on your drop shipping stores and I truly hope that you guys enjoyed this video and then after it you will see what upselling apps you want to use on your store which cross-selling apps you want to use on your store and start to implement these strategies now you will start to see the results remember it's all about testing keep in mind all of the great tips that I gave you guys in this video and start implementing the more you test the more you analyze the more results you will see at the end of the day I really hope that you guys once again enjoyed this video if you did give us a like give us a share so that your friends and family can also learn about the wild and amazing world of drop shipping and if there's any questions or comments let me know down below I will personally go over your messages and answer them thank you for watching guys see you in the next video
