Breakthrough Technology Offers Relevant Recommendations, Immediate ROI

Merchandise recommendations technology has proven effective in increasing online shopping conversion rates and boosting per-user spend. However, until now, merchandise recommendations and personalization (http://www.cleverset.com/solution/howitworks.html) solutions have been expensive and time-consuming to build, deploy, and maintain and require extensive data collection in order to be moderately effective. As a result, although many online retailers and e-commerce companies have invested in deploying this type of functionality, they have not yet maximized their online sales through recommendations.

Now, with CleverSet's recommendations technology, online retailers of any size can immediately improve their revenue by using sophisticated merchandise recommendations to offer customers a more relevant shopping experience. CleverSet's easy-to-deploy technology can be operational within hours and delivers results immediately.

While other recommendations solutions use collaborative filtering of historical data to generate recommendations, CleverSet's powerful analytical platform uses statistical and relational models that incorporate data from multiple sources, including clickstream data, stored customer information and purchase history, to generate highly relevant merchandise recommendations throughout the shopping session. The net result is that CleverSet's clients enjoy larger revenue lift and return on investment than with any other in-house or third-party recommendations solution available today.
