Experts in sun protection, Biarritz Laboratories have diversified over the years to offer complete ranges of care products dedicated to moisturizing, repairing, well-being and even babies. As the suncare category represents nearly 70% of the site's sales, the brand wanted to equip itself with a high-performance product recommendation engine to help visitors navigate through the various product ranges and thus improve cross-selling.
When the digital teams of Laboratoires de Biarritz contacted Potions, the e-shop already had a product recommendation solution that didn't meet all expectations:
The teams were looking for an all-in-one solution that offered automated recommendations, multiple display locations and a simple implementation that did not require any intervention from the IT department.
Dimitri Cazenave, e-commerce manager of Laboratoires de Biarritz, decided to set up Potions' personalised product recommendation engine to replace his initial solution.
He chose to display it in 3 different slots on the website in order to cover all stages of the customer journey and thus maximise the chances of additional purchases:
The recommendation block that appears in the pop-up when a product is added to the cart is particularly effective because it is visible to 100% of customers without them having to scroll. In addition, it includes a bar indicating the amount that remains to be spent to benefit from free shipping, which encourages impulse purchases.
Regardless of location, the recommendation blocks include a direct add-to-cart button to make the shopping experience as easy as possible.
The algorithm used to generate these recommendations is collaborative filtering. This method is based on the site's transaction history and identifies the most frequently purchased products together. For example, if a user visits the product page for a facial sunscreen, the recommendation block will show them the lip balm that hundreds of other users have purchased with that model. The recommended products are always those that are most likely to appeal to the visitor.
The mock-ups of the 3 recommendation blocks (desktop and mobile versions) were designed by the Potions team in full conformity with the Laboratoires de Biarritz graphic charter in order to fit in perfectly with the brand's visual identity.
The Laboratoires de Biarritz website is powered by Prestashop and compatible with all Potions solutions, which is the case with all CMS on the market. To install and activate the solution, the teams only had to install a tag using Google Tag Manager.
As soon as the recommendations module was installed on the site, the Laboratoires de Biarritz teams received access to the Potions performance monitoring platform, which allows them to track the impact of the potions on key KPIs in real time. In particular, it can be measured that :
The Potions Lab also provides other features that help digital teams to better manage their e-commerce on a daily basis:
> Insights provide unprecedented data on the behavior of your site's visitors and give you insight into how to improve your revenues
> Benchmark allows you to compare your data to dozens of other e-commerce sites
