What term describes encouraging a customer to buy related merchandise?

• A. Suggestive
• B. Product
• C. Telephone
• D. Clearing house

Answer: (A)

Suggestive selling is the sales approach of proposing related, complementary items to a customer to enhance their original purchase. This technique works because it helps customers complete a intended use or create a more satisfying experience with items that work well together, while also increasing sales for the business. The term described here is exactly about prompting a customer to buy related merchandise. A product is simply the item being sold, not the act of encouraging related purchases. A telephone is just a device or service, not a selling method. A clearing house is a financial intermediary, not related to sales techniques.
