The highest-margin growth comes from customers who already trust you. Yavun builds upsell sequences and referral programs that increase average order value and turn happy customers into a reliable acquisition channel.
Most businesses focus on acquiring new customers while leaving revenue on the table.
Every satisfied customer is a potential second sale, a potential upgrade, and a potential referral. Without a structured approach, those opportunities disappear because the timing is wrong, the message is too generic, or the ask never comes at all.

Referral link generation and attribution tracking
Revenue dashboard showing upsell and referral contribution
An upsell that arrives too soon feels pushy. One that arrives too late misses the window. Yavun times upsell messages based on each customer's purchase pattern - identifying when they are most likely to be open to an upgrade or add-on and delivering it on the channel they respond to.
Purchase-triggered sequence with configurable delay
Product recommendations matched to what they already bought
Channel delivery based on each customer's engagement history
Frequency capping so upsell messages do not crowd out service messages
A/B tested offer framing to find what converts best
The most effective cross-sell message does not feel like a sales pitch - it feels like useful information. Yavun uses purchase history and product affinity data to identify which complementary products each customer is most likely to want, then surfaces them at the right point in the post-purchase journey.
Product affinity analysis from order history
Complementary product suggestions per purchase category
Cross-sell sequences separated from promotional sends
WhatsApp for high-consideration or high-value cross-sells
Attribution tracking so you see which cross-sells generate revenue
Referral programs fail when the ask comes at the wrong moment, the reward is too small, or the process is too complicated. Yavun builds referral mechanics that ask at peak satisfaction, reward both sides, and make sharing as easy as forwarding a WhatsApp message.
Referral ask timed to the peak satisfaction window
Unique trackable link generated per customer
Two-sided reward: incentive for both referrer and new customer
WhatsApp sharing optimized for maximum forward rate
Referral attribution tied back to acquisition cost reporting
How does Yavun know which products to recommend for an upsell?+
Yavun analyzes your historical order data to identify product affinity patterns - which products customers who bought a specific item tend to buy next, and at what interval. If you have a product catalog connected, we can also use category and price-point proximity to build recommendations.
When is the best time to send an upsell message?+
It depends on the product category. For consumables, the optimal window is typically 7-14 days post-purchase when the customer is still engaged but has had time to use the product. For higher-consideration items, 30-45 days often works better. We configure the delay based on your specific category.
How do referral links work technically?+
Each customer gets a unique URL that includes their referrer ID. When a new customer uses that link to sign up or purchase, both the referrer and the new customer are credited automatically. The referral is tracked regardless of whether the new customer converts immediately or returns later.
What reward amounts work for referral programs?+
The reward needs to feel meaningful relative to what you are asking the customer to do. For products under £50, a 10-15% discount or equivalent credit on both sides typically performs well. For higher-value products, a fixed monetary reward is often more motivating than a percentage.
Can upsell sequences run at the same time as loyalty program messages?+
Yes. Yavun's frequency capping prevents customers from receiving too many messages in a short window. The priority order is configurable - typically service messages, then loyalty, then upsell, then promotional.
Does the referral program work for B2B businesses?+
Yes, though the mechanics differ. B2B referral programs work best as a direct ask combined with a case study or social proof piece, rather than a generic share link. We adapt the referral sequence to match your sales cycle and the nature of the relationship.
