its banking products to the stock broker's customers, while the broker can sign up the bank's customers for
brokerage accounts. Or, a manufacturer can acquire and sell
complementary products.

Subscription business model - Effect on the vendor
1 Additional benefits include a higher average customer lifetime value (ACLV) than that of nonrecurring
business models, greater customer inertia and a more committed
customer base as it transitions from purchase to opt-out decisions, and
more potential for upselling and cross-selling other products or
services.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-cross-selling-toolkit.html
Affinity analysis
1 This information can then be used for purposes of cross-selling and up-selling, in addition to influencing
sales promotions, loyalty programs, store design, and Discounts and
allowances|discount plans.

Affinity analysis - Examples
1 This information will enable the retailer to understand the buyer's
needs and rewrite the store's layout accordingly, develop cross-
promotional programs, or even capture new buyers (much like the
cross-selling concept)

Affinity analysis - Business use
1 Amazon.com|Amazon uses affinity analysis for cross-selling when it recommends products to people
based on their purchase history and the purchase history of other people
who bought the same item

Merger - Improving financial performance
1 *Cross-selling: For example, a bank buying a brokerage firm|stock broker could then sell its banking products

accounts. Or, a manufacturer can acquire and sell complementary
products.

Triple play (telecommunications) - Deployments
1 Providers expect that an integrated solution will increase opportunity costs for customers who may want to choose between service providers, permit more
cross-selling, and hold off the power companies deploying G.hn and IEEE P1901 technology with its radically superior service and deployment
characteristics for at least another decade or so.

On-hold messaging - Custom-designed MOH
1 CDs (or other MOH formats, such as MP3 files) can be custom-created to suit the
particular needs of a business. The announcements can be scripted to
emphasize particular attributes of the business such as location, store hours, or special promotions or services. These are
typically used for up-selling and cross-selling callers. Companies can either record the messages themselves, or hire a music on
hold production company.

Sears Holdings Corporation - 2000s
1 Sears Holdings has begun cross-selling merchandise between its two
brands. For example, Craftsman (tools)|Craftsman tools are now
available in Kmart stores; they were previously exclusive to the Sears brand. However, Martha Stewart
brand paint colors are now no longer available at Sears.

Same store sales
1 Growing same store sales can be explained by a number of reasons, including: marketshare gains in a
retailer's trade areas; higher average purchases and/or more frequent customer visits; and successfully
cross-selling into a broader product range or upselling to more expensive
ones.

Norwest - 1990s
1 His focus was on smaller customers, checking account depositors and
small businesses, and he aimed to build relationships with them that would lead to cross-selling of other financial services - an auto loan, a
mortgage, insurance, a mutual fund, and so on
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-cross-selling-toolkit.html
Norwest - 1990s

together

Wells Fargo Bank - Cross-selling
1 Other banks have attempted to emulate Wells Fargo's cross-selling practices (described by The Wall
Street Journal as a hard sell technique); Forbes magazine
describes Wells-Fargo as better than anyone at the practice.

Bank - Business model
1 * First, this includes the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which allows banks again to merge with investment and insurance houses. Merging banking, investment,
and insurance functions allows traditional banks to respond to
increasing consumer demands for one-stop shopping by enabling cross-selling of products (which, the banks hope, will
also increase profitability).https://store.theartofservice.com/the-cross-selling-toolkit.html
Citigroup - Travelers Group
1 The new company took the Primerica name, and employed a cross-selling
strategy such that each of the entities within the parent company aimed to sell each other's services

Cross-selling
1 In practice, businesses define
cross-selling in many different ways
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-cross-selling-toolkit.html
Cross-selling
1 Unlike the acquiring of new business, cross-selling involves an element of risk that existing relationships with
the client could be disrupted. For that reason, it is important to ensure that
the additional product or service being sold to the client or clients enhances the value the client or clients get from the organization.

Cross-selling
1 In practice, large businesses usually combine cross-selling and up-selling techniques to enhance the value that
the client or clients gets from the organization (and vice versa).

Cross-selling - Cross-selling of professional services
1 Though there are some ethical issues with most cross-selling, in some cases they can be huge. Arthur Andersen's dealings with Enron
provide a highly visible example. It is commonly felt that the firm's
objectivity, being an auditor, was compromised by selling internal audit
services and massive amounts of consulting work to the account.

considerably

https://store.theartofservice.com/the-cross-selling-toolkit.html
Cross-selling - Cross-selling of professional services
1 The third kind of cross-selling can be called selling a solution. In this case, the customer buying air conditioners
is sold a package of both the air conditioners and installation
services. The customer can be considered buying relief from the heat, unlike just air conditioners.

Mini tablets - Application market
1 Apple, Google, Amazon and Barnes Noble all adopted the strategy. The latter originally
allowed arbitrary apps to be installed, but, in December 2011, excluded third parties. Apple
and IBM have agreed to cooperate in cross-selling IBM-developed applications for iPads and
iPhones in enterprise-level accounts.[http://recode.net/2014/07/15/apple-and-ibm-team-up-to-push-ios-in-the-enterprise/ Arik Hesseldahl (2015), Apple and IBM Team Up to Push iOS in the Enterprise] accessdate=2014-

Boutique
1 In late 1990s some European retail traders developed the idea of
tailoring a shop towards a lifestyle theme, in the form of concept
stores,http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/borders-unveils-first-
concept-store,279823.shtml which specialised in cross-selling without
using separate departments

Loan origination - Agent Assisted (Branch-Based) Loan Application
1 From a bank's standpoint, cross-selling products to current customers
offers an effective marketing opportunity, and agents in branches may be trained to handle the sale of
many different types of financial products

Uplift modelling - Introduction
1 Uplift modelling uses a randomised control group|scientific control to not only measure the effectiveness of a marketing action but
also to build a predictive model that predicts the incremental response to the marketing
action. It is a data mining technique that has been applied predominantly in the financial
services, telecommunications and retail direct marketing industries to up-selling|up-
sell, cross-selling|cross-sell, churn and Customer retention|retention activities.

Up-selling
1 In practice, large businesses usually combine upselling and cross-selling
techniques to maximizing the business's profit
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-cross-selling-toolkit.html
Up-selling - Overlap with cross-selling
1 Upselling can be difficult to divorce from cross-selling when not entailing a more expensive substitute, it can
instead simply refer to bolt-ons recommended by the manufacturer, trade federation, common practice, or regulators. A simple example is
that of expensive leather shoes, where the seller may suggest to buy
a waterproofing spray as well to make the shoes last.

Beach Party - Production notes
1 In one of the first instances of film cross-selling, AIP took advantage of the target
demographic of this film to promote another in a different genre, when at the very end of the credits – after giving A Special thanks to Vincent Price for appearing as Big Daddy –
the title reads Soon to be seen in The Haunted Palace, a AIP horror film that would
be released on August 28, 1963 – just weeks after the release of Beach Party.

31, 2010 sold a jackpot-winning ticket for its newer game after the cross-selling expansion date. The

History of Wells Fargo - Later acquisitions
1 Its strategy echoed that of the old Norwest: making selective
acquisitions and pursuing cross-selling of an ever-wider array of
credit and investment products to its vast customer base

Lucky For Life
1 Lucky For Life is one of three lottery games available throughout New
England. (The 2009 Mega Millions/Powerball cross-selling agreement allowed American
lotteries, which could each offer 'either' national game before January
31, 2010, to add the other on that date. Five of the six lotteries
immediately added the other game; Maine joined Mega Millions on May 9,
2010.)

Louisiana Lottery Corporation - Mega Millions (multi-lottery game)
1 Perhaps surprisingly, Louisiana did not participate in the cross-selling
expansion of Mega Millions and Powerball on January 31, 2010. As of October 27, 2011, there are 46 US

Powerball - Cross-sell expansion of 2010
1 Ohio's second Powerball jackpot-winning ticket, sold for the June 23, 2010 drawing, was part of another first; since Montana also provided a jackpot winner for that drawing, it
was the first time two lotteries shared a jackpot where the two lotteries sold competing games
before the cross-selling expansion, as Montana sold only Powerball before
the expansion date.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-cross-selling-toolkit.html

to Texas Lottery players, known as the Megaplier, which was similar to the then-current version of Powerball's Power Play. The 11 Mega
Millions lotteries without Megaplier on the January 31, 2010 cross-selling date gradually
added the multiplier option; by January 2011, all Mega Millions lotteries, except for California, offered the Megaplier. The Texas Lottery owns
