You know how Amazon recommends products while you’re shopping, seeming to know exactly what you want even before you do?
Now you can give your customers the same experience.
These aren’t recommendations you pick yourself by guesswork, they’re products automatically curated by Brain using cold, hard data and displayed on widgets that look right at home on your store.
By determining what products are most likely to be purchased together, Brain anticipates what your customers want so you’re always displaying the most effective products. This also simulates the experience that customers have when they stumble on a new product at a brick-and-mortar store.
Bold Brain provides six different types of widgets for you to choose from:
-
Most Frequently Bought: shows the most popular products on your store.
-
Related Products: shows products related to items the customer is viewing.
-
Recently Added: shows the newest products added to your store.
-
Recently Viewed: shows products previously viewed by the customer.
-
Top Rated: shows your store’s top-rated products, powered by Yotpo.
-
Smart Widget: automatically uses A/B testing to choose the best widget to show to customers.
All of these widgets automatically populate with your products. They also allow you to choose a backup type in case your store doesn’t have enough data or products to use for your first choice.
Brain uses this data to go beyond recommendation widgets.
You can create prebuilt or custom audiences with various filters to use right in Mailchimp — or export them into a CSV file — to create highly targeted email campaigns.
For example, you can generate lists of customers who have:
- Viewed a specific product on your store
- Purchased certain products from you
- Added a product to their cart but didn’t check out
So, let’s say the owner of a camera store notices a lot of customers are adding an expensive lens to their cart, but not checking out.
They can send a targeted email to those customers offering them a more affordable lens, or even the same lens at a discounted price.
See how your widgets are performing, and gain access to other key statistics and performance indicators, right from Brain’s report page.
This includes what products are frequently bought together, average customer value, average order size, total profits, and other stats about customer behaviour. You can use these valuable insights to make informed changes and maximize results.
The future of eCommerce
Personalization is poised to play a bigger and bigger role in eCommerce. Amazon’s revenue increased by 29% after they introduced recommendations, and 70% of consumers expect companies to anticipate their needs, according to Salesforce.
Bold Brain will give your store an edge this Black Friday. It will provide better and better personalization, automation, and machine learning so merchants like you can provide your customers with better service and sell more. Try it today!
