Product Recommendation Algorithm Types

e-Marketer’s product recommendation engine provides a variety of algorithms for different needs, throughout your site. Here is a list of the most commonly used algorithms which are included in our system.

Note: If there is no known interest when the visitor first arrives, e-Marketer will choose what to display based on crowd data; as soon as there is a known interest, it will take that into account according to the algorithm chosen. 

Highest Relevance

  • This recommendation displays a combination of products the visitor is likely to buy or view, based on what other visitors with similar demographics and product interactions such as bought or viewed.

Bought Together

  • Primarily for product pages, displays items most frequently bought by those who bought the item currently being viewed.

Likely to Buy

  • Primarily for product pages, displays items frequently bought by those who viewed the item currently being viewed.

Likely to View

Buy It Again

Most popular based on gender/age

Additional Features

Direct Add to Cart

  • You can set e-Marketer recommendations to include add-to-cart buttons which will add the products directly to their cart, without linking to the product listing page. You can also set them to only take visitors to the PLP if the product requires customization (such as selecting size, color, etc.).

Display as Popup

  • Any recommendations in e-Marketer can also be set to display as popups, with any type of display scenario, including exit popup. This allows you to show the visitor items they may be interested in before they bounce, or at other key times such as upon idle or scroll-to-bottom.
