Ap - what is it? What is up? Upsale in marketing

Up - comes from the English word up, which translates as rise. What is up? This is an increase in the level of the character or the purchase of new equipment. It is used in the form of apatsya or apnut when reaching a new peak of development.

An up in the game is used to mean raising or strengthening something. First of all, this concerns the character himself, since his maximum development is the main goal of most online games. In order to wake up, you need to get a certain amount of experience, depending on the current level.

Experience can be obtained for destroying monsters and completing various quests. Separately, it is necessary to highlight trips to dungeons and raids with a group of companions, where you can get not only experience, but also valuable items. You should be aware that there are specific modifiers of experience gained, which depend on your activity, participation in and character enhancements. These modifiers are designated as "x2 gain (x4, x10)" and proportionally increase the amount of experience gained.

Not only levels

But also much more. The term ap can be applied to various items that have been modified in one way or another. These methods can be different - from sharpening to inserting stones. But in any case, they all lead to an increase in the parameters of a particular thing, that is, "apayut".

The term is also used in relation to the quality of the character's equipment in general. If you change old things for newer ones, then you “apes”. This literally means the following - along with the "up" of the level, you must also "up" the gear, so that the hero becomes stronger and can perform more difficult tasks. And with each new level, new skills and spells will be unlocked, which can also be "upnuted" - to increase their effectiveness.

At the present time, you can find projects in which the growth of the character is not tied to the levels.

In addition to the various ups of levels, skills and equipment, there is another category - professions. Many projects introduce such professions in which the level of skill is increased by the work performed. The more items you produce, the more the profession will “grow up”. Each professional has grading levels that look something like this: beginner - journeyman - master - professional - grand master. Up here means a transition to a new level of skill, which allows the production of more complex and expensive items and equipment.

Up is the basis of any game, but your main goal is not to get up to the maximum, but to enjoy the game.

Examples of

"I uplifted level 50, congratulate me"

"Finally, I upnul the jeweler, now I can make good rings."

"When I wake up, I will take this gear for myself"

What is Up-sale?

First, let's define it correctly:

Upsalling (up sale) - the mechanics of sales, which consists in increasing the amount of the transaction by selling more expensive items of sale or related goods (services), carried out with the aim of making a sale more profitable for both parties and better satisfaction of the buyer.

1. We exclude "fat" from appelling by deceiving the buyer. Fraud, as well as the greed of individual sellers, even if the term upsalling is never called!
2. There are two marketing goals for upselling:

• this is an additional benefit for the buyer, contributing to the speedy conclusion of the deal here and now
• increase in revenue for the seller, by the amount of additional services rendered or resold.

• conclusion of this transaction, sale,
• revenue growth,
• increase in the total gross profit,
• growth in the number of sales,
• an increase in the number of shipments,
• increase in inventory turnover in a category,
• marketing promotion,
• provision of hidden "price" discounts ...

Upselling types

So, what makes it possible to raise the amount of the check (invoice, sale) for a particular buyer. First of all, a clear understanding of which of the types of upselling will not discourage the buyer from buying (it will not look like "vparivanie"), will help him make the right choice and, thereby, simplify the sale and make it as profitable as possible for the seller:

1. Other sales;
2. Cross sale
3. Add-On Sale (up-sale);
4. On-pack;
5. Overfill;
6. Solution selling

Other sales (oversale) - switching to another, selling a similar product or service, the price of which is higher than those initially chosen by the buyer. often the buyer, having chosen his choice, does not take into account the additional benefits and advantages obtained with the purchase of another product. For example, a buyer's choice of a cheap model of an air conditioner may require the seller's efforts to adjust the choice, since the model may not correspond to the volume of the air-conditioned room. It should be noted that overselling is basically a "switch". It is also applied when the seller cannot make a 100% satisfactory offer. Buyers are switched: in the absence of goods, with a more marginal sale, with overstocking of the warehouse and the need for a sale ... In this case, oversale is a subtype of the mechanics of increasing the transaction amount.

Cross sale (cross-sale) - goods or services from other categories, the supply of another self-sufficient product from another product category not related to the main product (for a chain-link sect - a profiled pipe for poles);

Add-On Sale (up-sale) - the sale of additions to the main product or service, one way or another supplementing the main product or service. Note that the add-on being sold must be directly related to the main purchase item, and its cost is less than the cost of the main purchase.
Distinguish:

• additional sale of accessories, spare parts and consumables (sale to a set of car disks - a set of bolts "locks");
• resale of another product from the same product category, supplementing or expanding the functionality of the main one (the steamer nozzle - to the iron).

Overfill ("more than ...") - the sale of a larger volume of goods or the number of items of goods with a benefit for the buyer (instead of two kilograms - three, but at a discount). A popular variation of this upselling mechanic is "" - a kind of main product, but in the form of a package of 2 identical product units. The seller's offer: "Buy two, I'll give you an extra discount" - this is the upsale option.

On-pack (onpak) - sale "in a package" or sale of a set consisting of the main product and something else for the benefit of the buyer. Yes Yes! These are "sets" that are iconic to many. Selling as a set is a popular technique for increasing sales revenue on holiday days.

Solution selling - focusing on solving the problems of the buyer and trying to find a solution together with him, using a complex offer, say, a product + a service. Complex sale or "" - usually used in situations where the seller's marketing subject is only one of the elements, but not sufficient for a solution (product + delivery, product + service, product + adaptation to the buyer's requirement).

So, colleagues, the sellers' understanding of such a mechanic as "up sale" is not complete, and therefore its application looks rather dull. Now with an understanding of what it should look like, marketers may well plan marketing campaigns to support this salesperson mechanic so that the benefits to buyers are obvious and, thus, help the company's sales grow.

Upsale in marketing

1. Trade marketing promotions can stimulate the buyer to make a decision. Here is one of the myriad of countless lists that can facilitate an up sale and help you contact buyer and seller.
2. Enough understanding

• the need of buying groups in relation to your marketing subject;
• features, specifics and disadvantages of the subject of marketing;
• competitor marketing
develop incentive programs for buyers that sellers will apply in the sale process.

How to apply up sale correctly

Communication with the buyer should begin with the stage of diagnosing the buyer: the ability and ability to make a purchase, the completeness of information about the subject of purchase, loyalty to the place of sale, brand, etc. This identification will make it possible to understand whether the sale itself is possible here and now, as well as the possibility for upselling.

The next step is a needs analysisas a basis for the subsequent development of an offer that is beneficial for the seller and satisfies the buyer, for correlating what the buyer needs and what the seller has to satisfy him. At the stage of developing an offer, the seller must quickly plan several options for the further development of the sales dialogue. Overselling, upselling, formulating additional benefits is one of the options for the development of events. But only one of the options and in no way canceling the sale and not returning the seller and the buyer above is to rethink the needs.

At the stage of formulating a proposal, the most obvious, but the most typical mistake of the seller is oversale, when the seller immediately starts talking not about the buyer's choice about some other option and the best one, from his point of view. The proposal formulated by the seller should imply later, at the stage of negotiations, retreat and rethinking. Including oversale should be assumed. The offer of options for a complete (complex) sale, at this stage, is quite acceptable if the benefits from such an offer are clear to the buyer immediately.

Negotiation phase - this is not a "withdrawal of the objection" with the obligatory persuasion of the buyer. This is the stage of coordinating positions, when new details, previously unidentified nuances and preferences of the buyer and the seller's capabilities are revealed. Errors and shortcomings in working out the first two stages may serve as a deviation from the formulated proposal. That is why, a little earlier, the seller had to plan several options for the development of the event. Upsell, at this stage, should serve as an additional motivator, if not for a purchase, then for an interested continuation of the dialogue.

Contract formalization stage, when the secondary terms of the transaction are discussed, it is a convenient moment for the resale of insignificant, say, accessories, spare parts, the sale of any additional services to the main subject of the purchase, the terms of purchase of which the buyer is already completely satisfied.

Dangers of using upsell

1. The customer should not be allowed to return to the upper levels of communication. Go to upselling and other mechanics only when the buyer has no doubts about the expediency and profitability of the main purchase. For example, the buyer's consent to purchase this TV model due to the low price of this model and the oversale mechanics used by the seller may lead to rethinking the very idea of \u200b\u200bthe expediency of buying. Example:

   - Did you know that this TV does not have SMART-TV, but this model, only 10% more expensive, does it?
   - ABOUT! What is Smart TV? (return above - to identification and analysis of needs: "what then is important for you?")
   

2. A good upsell is when the rejection of the one offered by the seller does not cause a negative reaction regarding the initial choice. For example: an offer to buy a more expensive product should not be accompanied by arguments that degrade the original choice of the buyer. The proposal to get more functionality should not lead to the conclusion that the functionality originally selected is insufficient.

   - And here is another hairdryer and it has an "antistatic" function, but the model you have chosen is simpler.
   - Yes, but it is twice as expensive!
   - Well yes! A cheap hair dryer is good too ...

   You don't need to do that!
3. An oversale offer - to spend a little more for the best, must be accompanied by additional motivation. Even if it is the best and most expensive, it is justified and understood by the buyer. A bad upsell is to continue to convince the buyer of the profitability of the solution or to "gift" a small bonus to this expensive purchase. A good upsell might look like this:

   If you buy this now, I will lower the price of this solution by 15%.

4. An attempt to expand the offer by upselling accessories should continue to convince the purchaser of the appropriateness of the purchase item and should not serve as a rethinking by the buyer of the basic capabilities and functionality of the purchased item. The upselling element should not serve as a reason to think about insufficient functionality: "... and what doesn't work without it?" For example,

   Resale of an extension cord to a mixer is a good up-sale if it serves convenience, but does not lead to thinking that the mixer has too short a wire.

5. The need for an additional purchase to compensate for the lack of functionality of the product should not only be clear to the buyer, but also realized as a profitable solution. For example, here is such a case: the buyer is satisfied with the price and quality of the fountain pen, but the seller’s attempt to offer ink to it also makes people realize that buying with a kit is a rather expensive decision. Therefore, the upsell should look like this:

   when buying ink for a fountain pen - a 5% discount on a fountain pen, and 15% on ink.

Novice webmasters and bloggers are faced with a ton of new terms and expressions that you just need to understand. On forums and blogs for webmasters, mentions of search engine ups are not uncommon. What is up? In this article we will try to explain in detail what it is.

Search engines update

Search engine up is an update of search engine databases. The word itself is an abbreviation for the foreign word Update. In other words, different indicators are recalculated for all sites, and after that a certain result is given. What kind of result is given depends on the type of up. There are 3 types of search engine apa in total:

Ap TIC - the indicators of the puzomerka of the Yandex search engine are changing. Such an upgrade takes place 1-2 times a month, and when the sites are updated, the links are recalculated and other factors are taken into account.

Ap PR - change the puzomerka assigned by the Google search engine. This up is done much less frequently, about once every six weeks. As in the case of the TIC ape, various factors of the sites are recalculated.

Up results - with this type of database updates, search results are compiled. You will be surprised, but the positions of sites in the search results change several times a week (for Yandex). When ranking sites, different qualities of sites are taken into account.

How do you know when was the last search engine up?
