Strategic Insights & Recommendations

Dominant Brand

Amazon dominates cross-selling examples with their 'Frequently Bought Together' feature being the most referenced strategy across platforms.

Platform Gap

ChatGPT provides more specific brand examples while Google AIO focuses on industry categories and Perplexity offers structured comparison tables.

Link Opportunity

E-commerce platforms and SaaS companies have strong opportunities to implement both tactics through product bundling and subscription tier strategies.

Key Takeaways for This Query

Cross-selling adds complementary products while upselling promotes premium versions of the same product.

Amazon's 'Frequently Bought Together' and McDonald's meal upgrades are classic examples of each strategy.

Timing matters: cross-selling works during checkout while upselling works during product selection.

Both tactics increase average order value and customer satisfaction when implemented thoughtfully.
