vendita indotta
Explanation:
The literal translation would be "vendita suggerita" or, even better "suggerimento di vendita", changing the word order, though.

Anyway, see the following abstract from the website I "suggest" in the references:

"... Revenge was sweet when it fell upon one Sydney chain-bookseller. Opening day for Book 4, they were selling their copies at AUS$19.95, which is some two dollars below cost. Why? Presumably because they were in it for the passing trade, the suggest-sell and the Harry Potter merchandise..."
