Starting point

Choosing a SUP board was too hard for beginners

Choosing the right board is a complex process - type and parameters (dimensions, buoyancy) need to match the user's weight, height and skill level. This especially discouraged beginners.

Complicated matching of board to weight, height and skill level

Frequently asked questions

FAQ - personalizing the experience at CampSup

What was the goal of CampSup's collaboration with Persooa?

The main goal was to improve navigation to make it easier for customers to choose a well-matched SUP board - taking into account the board's dimensions and buoyancy as well as the user's weight, height and skill level. We also wanted to increase blog readers' engagement and build the subscriber base.

How was choosing a SUP board made easier?

We added navigation that lets users select the board type already on the first view (also on mobile), then narrows the offer by weight. We also implemented frames with recommended models on listing pages and an interactive guide that, after three questions, suggests matched boards.

How were engagement and the subscriber base increased?

On blog posts we added product recommendations linked to the content, which keeps the reader engaged and increases the likelihood of conversion. We also launched seasonal onsite campaigns encouraging newsletter sign-up, which grew the number of subscribers and marketing consents.

What technology was used?

We built the solutions on the Synerise platform. It proved to be an effective tool for implementing custom solutions that were difficult due to the store platform's technical limitations - at low cost and in a short time.

What does Persooa do?

Persooa implements and activates AI in e-commerce - mainly on the Synerise platform - with a focus on a fast start and the first measurable results within 90 days. We combine strategy, data and execution in a Human + AI model: personalization, marketing automation, recommendations and AI agents that translate into revenue growth.
