First it helps us to ‘Acquire’ customers, to bring customers from various channels to our websites. Then it engages them to visit different products, promotional offers and discounted products. Then keep suggesting customers to visit other substitute products or complement products as well. Then they influence the customers to purchase from the websites and after purchasing they always send recommendation and suggestion so that we can retain our customers.
How it works.
When someone visits our website, it recognize it’s like and dislike with 3-4 clicks which is current session and take data from previous history as well, which is saved in browsers cache and customer’s purchasing history, cart history and wish lists. Certona combine all these data and apply an algorithm, called ‘Multi Algorithm Optimization’. It applies best Business policy and promotional offers and show suggestion on web page or sends message to mobile or mail to email id.
