Product recommendations versus product relationships
Given the ever-changing complexities of online shopping, what works best for your storefront is often a combination of multiple key technologies. Using both Product Recommendations and Product Relationships gives you more flexibility when promoting products. You can leverage Product Recommendations powered by ۶Ƶ Sensei to intelligently automate your recommendations at scale. Then, you can leverage Related Product Rules when you must manually intervene and ensure that a specific recommendation is being made to a target shopper segment, or when certain business goals must be met.
Product recommendations allow you to:
- Choose from nine distinct intelligent recommendation types based on the following areas: shopper-based, item-based, popularity-based, trending, and similarity-based
- Use behavioral data to personalize recommendations throughout the shopper’s storefront journey
- Measure key metrics relevant to each recommendation to help you understand the impact of your recommendations
