How one product purchased can indicate preference for another

Despite the complexities of consumer buying behaviour, you don't need to be a marketing specialist to understand that the sale of certain products consistently demonstrates a preference for another. In a supermarket, a consumer that buys tortilla chips is also likely to buy salsa as well. The same can be said of purchasing hot dogs and buns, or charcuterie and cheese. 

We see it most often at fast food restaurants that promote a drink and chips, in addition to your burger. By offering your existing customers products and services that compliment their current needs, you can not only increase your average basket size, but you can also improve customer satisfaction and retention.

For example, a cinema offering discounted tickets on Wednesdays may choose to cross-sell popcorn and sweets on offer, to improve the overall customer experience, while encouraging spend on a day of the week that sees the fewest viewers.
