Mobile shoppers, cart abandonment, trying to reach an ever-growing audience. And that&#8217;s all without losing that personal touch which made your brand special in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why so many are turning to <strong>Product Recommenders, <\/strong>also known as product advisors. These are smart systems that offer product recommendations depending on the tastes and preferences of each client. And because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easypromosapp.com\/product-recommender\/\">Product Recommender<\/a> systems are automated, they can work on a large scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\">It is proven that when a user receives offers of products based on their likes, the rate of <strong>cart abandonment reduces<\/strong> and <strong>sales conversations increase<\/strong>. Thus, Product Recommenders and personalization, in general, are incredibly effective ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easypromosapp.com\/product-promotion-solutions\/\">promote a product<\/a> or brand online.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, this <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"quiz from beauty brand Tatcha (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tatcha.com\/ritual_finder.html\" target=\"_blank\">quiz from beauty brand Tatcha<\/a> can suggest up to 30 products and 500 different beauty routines, and that\u2019s based on only five questions about daily skincare routine. The questionnaire asks about the user\u2019s current beauty habits, skin problems, products that they currently use. This product recommender <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"significantly boosted customer dwell time and conversion rates (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.glossy.co\/beauty\/how-tatcha-is-using-personalization-as-a-customer-service-tool\" target=\"_blank\">significantly boosted customer dwell time and conversion rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wwwcdn.cstmapp.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tatcha-beauty-quiz-product-recommender.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of the Tatcha beauty quiz product recommender. The first question asks customers whether they are &quot;minimalists&quot;, &quot;ritualists&quot;, or &quot;enthusiasts&quot; about skincare.\" class=\"wp-image-19796\" width=\"490\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But not everyone can afford the time or money to build their own product recommender engine. If you run a small business, e-commerce, Etsy or Shopify store, then you need more accessible &#8211; but equally successful &#8211; tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news? You don\u2019t need your own development team. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easypromosapp.com\/product-recommender\/\">Product Recommender<\/a> app by Easypromos will allow you to write great product recommendations, reach customers via email and even set up targeted offers and product giveaways. <strong>Read on to learn how!<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-build-a-product-recommender-in-under-60-minutes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to build a Product Recommender in under 60 minutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most product recommenders need a customer history to make predictions on what could be suitable for the client.  Therefore, it\u2019s normally difficult to share targeted product recommendations and offers with new customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the solution: <strong>just&nbsp;ask.<\/strong> A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easypromosapp.com\/quiz\/\">customer quiz<\/a> is the easiest way to find out what people really want, whether they\u2019re your loyal customers or they only just discovered your website. At the end of the questionnaire, you can create a personalised message for each user, with a few product recommendations that fit the participant\u2019s profile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wwwcdn.cstmapp.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/product-recommender2.png\" alt=\"Image of product recommender showing examples of questions asked to users\" class=\"wp-image-20458\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time to get started with the questionnaire! Create a range of different questions and illustrate them with pictures or videos, take care of the overall design of the quiz. The theme of the questions is a personal thing for each brand; you need to keep in mind that at the end of the day you are trying to sell a product! You can ask the client about a thousand different things; ask about their favourite colours, where the client plans to wear the outfit or what is their favourite product from a specific selection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wwwcdn.cstmapp.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/product-rec3.png\" alt=\"Image of product recommender app with cheese recommendation as example\" class=\"wp-image-20457\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you simply assign a score to each answer. Use the option to present final messages according to the most popular responses. When a customer completes the quiz, the system will automatically review which answers were used the most and present a final personalised message. In this case, the personalised message will include a product recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wwwcdn.cstmapp.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019-08-09_11-13-40-1024x684-1.webp\" alt=\"3 mobile screenshots sohwing a product recommender from a travel agency, created with Easypromos.
