CEO, SplitBase. Conversion Optimization & Landing Pages for DTC Brands.

The biggest mistake DTC brands make? Setting up random cross-sells just because "everyone does it." Don't guess what products work well together. Your customers are already showing you. Most brands set up random product recommendations without looking at the data. But your Shopify analytics already tell you exactly what products customers buy together. Here's what 99% of brands are missing: The Power of Natural Product Pairings Your customers are already creating perfect cross-sell combinations - you just need to pay attention. How to find these hidden opportunities: 1. Check Your Shopify Analytics - Look at "Frequently Bought Together" data - Analyze recent order patterns - Focus on your top sellers first 2. Use AI for Deeper Analysis - Export your order data - Let AI identify purchase patterns - Spot combinations you might have missed 3. Implementation Strategy - Start with your highest-volume products - Test these natural pairings as cross-sells 4. Monitor performance closely This matters because... - Lower CAC through increased AOV - Higher conversion rates on cross-sells - Better user experience with relevant recommendations The biggest mistake? Setting up random cross-sells just because "everyone does it." Let the data guide your strategy instead. What's been your experience with cross-sell optimization? Share below 👇 P.S. Remember, this isn't about adding more cross-sells. It's about adding the RIGHT ones.

You’re right—relying on random cross-sells without checking the data is such a missed opportunity. I've seen so many brands skip over the insights they already have. Focusing on top-selling products and natural pairings customers already choose is probably the best way to boost relevance and conversions at the same time. Curious if you've noticed this approach working especially well in specific product categories or customer segments?

Great point, you must look at the data to find matching pairs, rather than just showing random products as cross-sell.

Also, don't overlook seasonal trends in product pairings. Certain items might sell better together at specific times of the year. If you pay attention to these changes, you can catch some quick wins that really resonate with your customers!

Love this approach. Let the customers' buying habits guide your cross-sells, not just random guesswork. Raphael Paulin-Daigle
