The moment after a positive support interaction is the single best time to recommend a complementary product. Here's the data and the playbook.
There's a specific moment in every positive support interaction when a customer's guard is down and their trust in your brand is at its peak — right after their problem has been solved. This is the most underutilised revenue moment in ecommerce.

How post-support upsells work
Immediately after resolving a ticket — or at the end of a support reply — include a single, relevant product recommendation based on what the customer bought. Not a generic "check out our new arrivals" — a specific product that genuinely complements their purchase.
The key word is relevant. "Customers who bought [product X] also love [product Y]" converts at 4× the rate of generic "you might also like" recommendations. The AI knows what the customer bought; use that data.
The upsell should never feel transactional or pushy. Frame it as a genuine recommendation from a knowledgeable friend, not a sales pitch appended to your support reply.
