The Items you may like product sets contains recommended products based on profile behavior.
Composition
Based on the behaviour of a profile, products are recommended that other profiles also viewed, added to their basket or purchased. The events used to compose the product set are:
The following is a simplified example of how the product set for profile A is composed. To simplify the example, only the ViewContent event is used. The process below happens on a large scale with all profiles, events and products in Squeezely. In this process, factors such as time and weighting also play a role in the final result.
Input profile A in Squeezely
Profile A has viewed product 1
Input all profiles in Squeezely
Profile B has viewed products 1, 2 and 3
Profile C has viewed the products 1 and 3
Profile D has viewed products 1, 2, 3 and 4
Output
For profile A, the following Items you may like set is constructed (in order):
Product 3 → because the three profiles that viewed product 1 also viewed product 3
Product 2 → because of the three profiles that viewed product 1, two profiles also viewed product 2
Product 4 → because of the three profiles that viewed product 1, one profile viewed product 4
Options
The following extra options can be applied to the composition:
Max # of products: the maximum number of products in the set (when the maximum number is reached, the product that was first in the set goes first)
Exclude product set: products from another product set can be excluded for this product set
Exclude # last recommended: the number of recently recommended products is excluded for this product set, so that the same products are not shown constantly
Recency weight: the extent to which more value is attached to recently viewed products
Recommend based on products: the recommendations are compiled based on the product id that is sent along in the event instead of the profile's behavior
Fallback set: if insufficient products meet the criteria to reach the maximum number of products, the product set can be supplemented with products from another product set.
The set can be specifically or dynamically composed with:
