What is e-merchandising?
Just like traditional merchandising in physical stores, e-merchandising aims to offer the right product, in the right place and at the right time, in order to encourage the act of purchasing. More concretely, e-merchandising optimizes the ordering of products on a merchant site to improve the experience and increase conversions.
The secret of powerful e-merchandising
Knowing that a visitor spends an average of 55 seconds per page on an e-commerce site, it is essential to display the most relevant products to help them find what they are looking for quickly, at the risk of them going elsewhere to find it.
To do this, e-merchandising brings intelligence to the display of the product catalog by automatically modifying the order of the products presented in real time.
The secret of a successful e-merchandising lies in the implementation of dynamic display rules combining :
business indicators :
- Top sales
- What's New
- Promotions
- Seasonal products
- Margin levels
- Price levels
- Inventory levels
- Available products
personalization algorithms:
- Recently viewed products
- Recently purchased products
- Similar products to the ones seen / purchased
- Complementary products to the products in the basket
- Favorite categories
In this way, your product catalog adapts to all circumstances (seasons, promotions, new products...), but also to the visitor according to his behavior, creating a totally unique and customized scenario.
All these possible combinations of displaying your products have the objective of always prioritizing the products with the highest potential to increase conversions.
A strategic lever that generates impacts on the business and on the organization
