In this article, you'll learn how purchase history product recommendations work, and how to use them in your emails.
Here are some things to know.
After you connect your store and turn on e-commerce tracking, purchase data is sent to your account each time someone clicks a link and makes a purchase. Mailchimp analyzes this data to identify and rank up to 10 unique product recommendations for each subscribed contact. You can then add these recommendations to regular and automated emails.
Purchase history product recommendations pull from your entire catalog and work best with a lot of e-commerce data. To use this feature, your store must meet these minimum requirements.
If your store doesn't meet the minimum requirements, purchase history product recommendations won’t be displayed in a product recommendation block. Choose any of the other available product recommendations. For example, best sellers display the 15 most popular products purchased from your store in the last 30 days and won’t include out-of-stock products or products without an image.
Promote purchase history recommendations in your marketing emails. Choose how many products to include, as well as how they’ll display.
Our data ranks how relevant products are to a particular customer, where 1 is the most relevant. Use these rankings to choose the range of products to promote.
To increase the effectiveness of emails that include purchase history product recommendations, use segments to target subscribed contacts with similar purchase histories.
Here are some ways to use purchase history product recommendations in your email.
In the Product activity section of your report, you'll be able to view the total number of sales produced by purchase history product recommendations and the percentage of total revenue generated by those sales.
Any audience that has a store connected to it will display product recommendations in your contacts' profiles. Contacts who’ve made a purchase will receive products based on their purchase history, and those who haven’t made a purchase will receive top sellers in your store.
If you have a Standard plan or higher, click on any contact in your audience, then scroll to the Predictive analytics section. For contacts who have made at least 1 purchase in your online store, we’ll show their estimated customer lifetime value (CLV) and likelihood to purchase again.
