Improve and Optimize Product Recommendations

EBD had an existing product recommendations engine. The tool was built on simple technology that was prone to inefficiencies. Because recommended products weren’t exactly the right match, this impacted the customer experience while limiting EBD’s ability to cross-sell and up-sell.

Shoppers were only seeing a small selection of similar products and missing a wide selection of frames that fit their personal styles. In early 2020, EBD recognized the opportunity to improve its product recommendations engine.

Optimize Product Recommendations

Maximize Customer Journey and Boost Average Order Value

EBD saw about a 20% increase in click-through rates within a month of implementing ViSenze Smart Recommendations. A pricing logic was also added to EBD’s recommendations engine.

EBD also launched a Similar Styles Results Page. When customers click on a frame style, they’re presented with four visually similar styles below the page’s hero image. This produced extraordinary results by guiding customers to frame options that match their personal tastes.

The average overall session value among users exposed to similar products increased by 2.4%, resulting in a projected annual revenue increase of $1.15 million.

Visual AI is a cool and fascinating technology and it’s easy to see how it could be used in other industries beyond eyewear. I would recommend working with ViSenze because our relationship has been strong. They’ve helped us by developing new solutions based on our feedback, and that’s been great for us.
