CUSTOMERS WHO BOUGHT THIS ALSO.....

Shanus · ‎05-17-2010

When I look at an item online, a message comes across the bottom of the page about “customers who bought this, also bought.....” and pics of 6-7 unrelated items are lined up. It also shows several more items in the same line (especially jewelry).

What a desperate attempt to sell additional merchandise.

I've seen this on any number of websites I've shopped from.

Why does it bother people that a SHOPPING CHANNEL/WEBSITE (which is in business to make money-gasp!) tries to sell things?

Yes, it’s shocking and irksome that a website whose sole purpose is to sell merchandise would “desperately” use some means to try to sell even more merchandise. Even stuff unrelated to anything you’ve browsed recently. Just to sell more!

A real head scratcher...

@Shanus I have noticed this too but it happens everywhere I shop now.I can be on a site looking at something and then low and behold if those items don't follow all of my later browsing.

B & M stores do that as well. Why do you think there is all that stuff by the line where you wait to check out? Last minute candy bar maybe? Did you forget a magazine? Need lip balm?

@dex I think it’s an issue of privacy and assumption. Yes, I’ve seen it on other sites, as well, but pointing it out here since this is a Q forum.

How could it be an issue of privacy when no one knows who bought those items or even if it’s true!!?? It can be helpful because sometimes it’s similar items which might interest you. Also you may have similar tastes to the people who bought additional items so it could be interesting to know about. This is a company selling stuff! Of course they are going to promote their merchandise.

I actually like it. Shows similar items. Good business if you ask me, but others may feel different and thats fine. I actually have purchased a few times from that area they show.
