Default Re: Upselling in the shopping cart

Miri,

What makes ez-upsell a valuable product to me, is that the BEST place to upsell is IMMEDIATELY after a customer added a product -- and ez-up allows you to hand-pick the suggested items per-product. We sell makeup -- the perfect upsells for a makeup product are the brushes that match the product... ez-up basically adds a page pre-cart and offers the upsell...

I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE WANTING -- but in my opinion, once the customer is IN the cart, you want to do ONE THING and ONE THING ONLY -- get the money as fast as possible. IN my opinion, up-sell, should not take place during checkout. This is why I do not like Ez-recommends. Too much, too late.

PS -- ez-up CAN have descriptions and a buy-now if you customize it. I think ez-up is one of the best $40 investments you can make. Then spend a bit more customizing it. I wouldn't open a store without it.

PPS -- THNINK ABOUT why you want to upsell in the cart... if you really think your customers can handle this, then Ez-recommendscan be your ticket, but I am more likely to abandon a cart that does this to me. Just my $.02
