Introduction
As marketers, we want to elevate our website into a sophisticated and responsive digital storefront that anticipates each visitor's individual preferences. MoEngage Personalize enables you to show recommended products using product grids. By leveraging advanced recommendation algorithms in conjunction with an intuitive no-code WYSIWYG editor, you can seamlessly embed personalized product grids directly within your web interface.
This provides users with a seamless and enjoyable shopping experience by presenting them with relevant and personalized content generated from user behavior and preferences. Such personalized recommendations are more likely to be relevant and interesting to users, leading to enhanced user engagement metrics, increased click-through rates, and the potential for higher conversion outcomes for the site.
Advantages of using a product grid
- Increased sales performance: Recommending products using product grids helps users check other similar products related to their interests and products they may buy together. This increases sales and triggers users to purchase additional products.
- Personalised recommendations: With product grids, you can recommend personalized products based on the user's interests, which creates better engagement and helps users explore more based on their interests and make purchases.
- Efficient marketing: Recommending products based on users’ behavior and interest significantly reduces your marketing costs and efforts spent on engaging general audiences who are not interested in your product.
- Builds brand awareness: Engaging users with personalized content based on their interests and behavior builds better brand awareness and reputation among the audience.
- Better user experience: Recommending products based on user interest improves user engagement and provides a better user experience, attracting more users.
We will achieve this use case by leveraging MoEngage Personalize to show recommended products using product grids.
