Product Recommendations - Online Help | Zoho Campaigns

Product Recommendations

The Zoho Campaigns Product Recommendation tool allows you to recommend products via email in order to engage customers and generate repeat purchases. Using customized recommendation algorithms, track customer activity on your online store and promote products that customers maybe interested in. Product Recommendations can be used to sell to customers one-on-one, offering a personalised purchasing experience tailored to each customer's individual interests.

How does this work? 

Once you connect your online store to Zoho Campaigns, all of your products and your customers' purchase history will be imported into Campaigns. The product recommendation engine analyzes customer data and employs various algorithms to recommend appropriate products to customers based on their purchase history. The product recommendation engine allows you to narrow the selection from all of the products in your store, and only recommend products that are relevant to each customer.
Notes
NOTE: To generate personalized recommendations, we require your store to have at least 10 products, 50 orders, and 100 customers.

Recommendation Types

Zoho Campaigns promotes relevant products to customers employing five different product recommendation algorithms. We do not recommend deleted products or products that a customer has previously purchased. The following are the recommendation types found in Zoho Campaigns:
  1. Most popular recommends products that are trending right now and are the current leading sellers. This is a frequently used recommendation type across all online merchants. Presenting the products that the majority of your customers buy is more likely to persuade visitors and customers to make a purchase.
  2. Recently added recommends products that were newly added to the store.
  3. Similar products recommends products that are similar to the ones that customers are currently looking at. This is an upselling technique that you can use to persuade your customers to make more relevant purchases on a regular basis. For example, If a customer purchases a polo t-shirt from one brand, we will promote polo t-shirts from other brands in your store.
  4. Who bought this also bought recommends products based on the customers' previous or current purchases. With such a tailored approach, the customer may purchase more items and the product's value may increase. For example, if two customers A and B have similar purchase histories, this recommendation type will promote products purchased by customer A if customer B has expressed interest in a similar product.
  5. Bought together recommends products that customers frequently purchase together. For example, if a customer purchases a phone from your store, this recommendation type will promote screen guards or back covers for that particular model because other customers have bought those items together. Because these recommendations are based on the purchases of other customers, they will become more reliable and trustworthy over time.
