Upsell (One Time Offer)

An offer shown right after purchase that adds more value with one click.

The upsell, also called a one time offer or OTO, appears after the buyer pays. Because the card is on file, saying yes takes one click. Buyers are most open to a new offer right after they buy.

Sell one product per page. The logical sequence of offers matters more than the price increase between them.

Do it step by step

  1. Offer the next thing they need because of what they just bought.
  2. Headline: present the offer. Subheadline: justify why now.
  3. Use a yes button that restates the benefit and a no thanks link that names what they give up.
  4. Keep the page short. They already trust you.
