Answer 6

Well, if you are a salesperson you obviously want to try to get people to buy a lot of things. If you are selling someone an outfit, complementary items would be like shoes, accessories, belts. If you're a server and someone orders a glass of wine you might want to "upsell" and get them to buy a more expensive brand of wine. The more you sell to a customer the bigger your commission (or tip) will be and the company will make more money, too.

Answer 7

Complementary = things that go along with it, like a tie to match a shirt. Some people are confusing it with "complimentary" (note the different spelling,) which means free.

Answer 8

I would take it to mean something like accessories or things that go along with the original purchase, things that go with it. Sometimes complementary means free, but I don't think it's the case here.

Complementary: items that are paired together; things that go together like in an ensemble.

Answer 11

It means items that "go with" the item being purchased. For example, if someone is purchasing plates, you might recommend placemats in a coordinating color. The customer is likely to spend more money if you can provide items that create a total package for them.
