Business Overview
95% of companies that implement personalization see 3x ROI in the year after the investment. And this is no surprise: indeed, 91% of consumers are more likely to shop with brands that recognize, remember, and provide relevant offers and recommendations. Recommending the right product to consumers has thus become a must-do to secure market shares and grow loyalty. This can notably be done by implementing a recommendation engine based on a collaborative filtering approach that aims at answering a simple question: what are the items that users with interests similar to yours like?
By doing so, brands can recommend products that have not yet been purchased by a user and that a group similar to this user has purchased. What the outcome is: encourage customers to discover new products they simply would not have actively looked for, and keep them engaged longer. Several use cases can then be run, many of them online: personalization of website homepage in a very tailored way (for logged-in users), sending of personalized promotional emails based on past transactions, … Impact of built recommendation engines will be maximized by the quality of data: the richer the history is, the more performant the recommendation engine will be.
