Starting point

A rich assortment and high traffic, not fully leveraged

The brand has strong recognition and thousands of visits a day. The challenge was to increase revenue from existing traffic, not to acquire new users - within a range so broad that it's easy to get lost in it.

Thousands of products - hard to find what the customer is looking for

Goal: more revenue from existing traffic, not new users

Manual recommendation strategies consumed time and resources

Suboptimal purchase path within a broad assortment

Low number of products and basket value

No real-time personalization

Persooa's solution

Real-time AI recommendations across the entire journey

We launched a set of personalized, real-time recommendation scenarios - from the homepage, through the product page, to the cart - taking manual work off the team's plate.

01 · Homepage

Recommendations on entry

The algorithm personalizes products on the homepage in real time based on preferences - the customer immediately sees a relevant assortment.

02 · Product page

Similar products

The module shows items with similar features to those previously bought or viewed - making it easier to discover the range.

03 · Returning visitors

Recently viewed & cart widget

For both recognized and anonymous users: recently viewed products or a reminder of items left in the cart, throughout the session.

04 · Automation

Algorithms instead of manual work

Recommendations adapt automatically in real time - no manual strategies, with resource savings.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ - recommendation personalization at Homla

What results did recommendation personalization bring at Homla?

In a 7-day A/B test, the personalized variant increased average revenue per user by +14% compared to the comparison group, the number of transactions by +8%, and average order value by nearly 10% - all on existing traffic, without acquiring new users.

What recommendation scenarios were implemented?

A real-time personalized recommendation module on the homepage, a similar-products module on the product page, a returning-visitor widget (recently viewed items or a reminder of an abandoned cart - for recognized and anonymous users), and a unique, personalized module in the cart.

How was the effectiveness of the actions measured?

We ran a 7-day A/B test: variant A, with three recommendation modules and the returning-visitor widget, was compared against variant B without those elements. This allowed us to clearly assess the impact of personalization on engagement and sales.

Why did the focus stay on existing traffic rather than new customers?

The brand has strong recognition and thousands of visits a day, so the greatest potential lay in making better use of existing traffic. Personalizing recommendations shortened the purchase path within the rich assortment and increased the purchase value of existing customers.

What technology was used?

The Synerise platform combined with Persooa's framework and components - with recommendation algorithms running in real time, which replaced manual strategies and brought resource savings for the Homla team.

What does Persooa do?

Persooa implements and activates AI in e-commerce - mainly on the Synerise platform - with an emphasis on a fast start and the first measurable results within 90 days.
