Item comparison recommendations on the website
An overwhelming number of products can often discourage a customer from purchasing. An intelligent solution is to use product comparison recommendations to make the buying decision process smoother. Such offers make it easier for customers to decide when trying to choose between multiple models or styles of the same products to get a better idea of which option is best for them. But it also allows marketers to promote products with specific features. Such a solution is a great way to increase customer engagement and conversions.
This use case describes the process of creating dress comparison recommendations for customers on the website.
