As a bartender of a local restaurant, you ask if a customer
would like top shelf liquor, like Grey Goose, in his martini,
instead of the standard brand. This is a form of:
a) | Add-on selling | |
b) | Suggestive retailing | |
c) | Selling up | |
d) | Psychological selling | |
e) | Subliminal perception |
Answer is: (c) Selling Up
Reason: Here, the bartender is suggesting the customer to take some top shelf liquor instead of a standard brand. Here the bartender has asked to buy a more expensive liquor. Hence this is selling up.
Why other options are not correct:
Add-on selling suggests the addition of something extra to the existing one. But here the main ingredient change has been suggested.
Suggestive retailing refers to suggesting someone of a particular liquor to buy.
Psychology selling is understanding the customer perception and then asking for a particular product. Here no information of perception is available. This is an incorrect option.
Subliminal perception is when the customer is getting information from his/her subconscious mind. This is not the case here, hence is an incorrect option.
