Product Recommendations





Product recommendations are driven by systems that use different algorithms to predict products that a customer may want to buy. These recommendations can be made by displaying selected products on a web page or by sending product recommendation emails to customers or prospects. The closer the recommendations are to the customer's interests, the more a company benefits from this marketing strategy. For example, product recommendations are an excellent way to cross-sell and up-sell products. As a result, the company gets a boost in revenue while improving the customer experience at the same time. Also, a customer's level of engagement with each recommendation provides more insight to further personalize their experience.
There are many types of product recommendations. Recommendations may be content-based, in which case products are recommended based on similarities to a customer's previous purchases. Likewise, products can be suggested based on similarities with each other. For example, someone who buys a phone is probably interested in a protective screen case for the phone. Therefore, it is recommended to cross-sell products. Some more advanced systems use collaborative filtering. Here, product recommendations are made based on similarities in user profiles. For example, suppose that customer A and customer B have a similar purchase history. In that case, the system can suggest a product that customer A recently purchased to customer B. Typically, a hybrid system is used to optimize the results.
