Are you fully harnessing the power of Rekisa to elevate your online store's performance and streamline your operations? Rekisa boasts a plethora of features designed to not only boost your store's revenue but also to save you valuable time. Let's delve into how you can maximize the potential of Rekisa to propel your business forward.

1. Implement Cross-Selling Strategies with Rekisa

Encourage customers to explore additional products or services that complement their purchases. Cross-selling is a proven marketing technique aimed at boosting revenue by recommending related or complementary items alongside a primary purchase. Just like a skilled salesperson suggests add-ons or upgrades in a physical store, you can replicate this strategy seamlessly in your Rekisa online store. For instance, if your store specializes in selling skateboards, you can cross sell premium bearings, vibrant stickers, eye-catching decals, high performance wheels, repair services, or extended warranties. With Rekisa, you have the flexibility to configure suggested products directly on the product page or during the checkout process. Moreover, you can take it a step further by:

  • Bundling products together to offer value-packed deals.
  • Providing accessory options to enhance the customer experience.
  • Identifying and promoting product combinations frequently purchased together to encourage upsells.

How to Set Up Cross-Selling for Individual Products with Rekisa:

  1. Navigate to your Rekisa Control Panel.
  2. Select "Catalog" and then click on "Products".
  3. Create a new product or choose an existing one that you want to link with cross-sales.
  4. Once you've selected the product, locate the option to associate related products.
  5. You can assign related products either individually or by category, depending on your preference and product organization.
  6. After assigning the related products, remember to save your changes to ensure they are applied successfully.

Enabling the "You may also like" Section at Checkout with Rekisa:

  1. Access your Rekisa Control Panel.
  2. Navigate to "Settings" and then select "General".
  3. Within the General settings, locate and click on "Cart".
  4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the relevant section settings.
  5. Enable the option to display the "You may also like" section on both product pages and in the cart.
  6. Once enabled, remember to save your changes to apply the updates successfully.

Please ensure that Related Products are enabled for both your cart and your product pages.

2. Provide Bulk or Volume Discounts

Offering discounts for purchasing items in bulk not only encourages customers to buy more but also has the potential to increase your average transaction value and overall revenue. Additionally, bulk discounts can be utilized to clear out older inventory or manage stock levels effectively. Moreover, by offering bulk discounts, you can potentially provide better shipping rates to your customers. Rekisa offers a unique feature where its algorithm suggests users add more items to their cart to unlock higher discounts. When a customer adds a bulk discounted item to their cart, a message will prompt them, informing them that they can save even more by adding one or two additional items.

How to Set Up Bulk Discounts with Rekisa:

  1. Access your Rekisa Control Panel.
  2. Navigate to "Promotions" and then select "Discounts".
  3. Configure your discounts based on either the subtotal (Venture Plan) or customer groups (Business Plan), or utilize both options for added flexibility.
  4. Once you've set up your discounts according to your preferences, remember to save the changes to ensure they are applied successfully.

Please note: You will need a Venture Plan or a Business Plan to access and configure Bulk Discounts.

3. Host a Contest
