1. Let the powerful Resonance personalization engine deliver the most targeted, personalized and optimized set of recommendations to each visitor and location automatically, based on each individual's unique real-time behavioral profile and purchase patterns. 2. Choose from several off-the-shelf Resonance recommendation types such as best sellers, popular items, top rated, new arrivals, "people who bought this also bought," "people who viewed this also viewed," "people who this viewed this ultimately bought," most searched, similar items, accessories, and more. These standard algorithms can be tuned to the individual's browse and purchase behavior using the unique and proprietary "Resonance Personalization Factor." 3. Create their own recommendations and merchandising strategies for each location. These can be mixed and matched with other recommendation types to provide the optimal combination of the merchandiser expertise and business goals and recommendation coverage.Any of the recommendation strategies can be further refined and controlled through user-defined business rules, which filter recommendations based on product categories, brands, price, or any other product attributes. Resonance Insight Management Console balances manual merchandising control with the benefits of real-time personalization and automated revenue optimization. Benefits include:
-- An intuitive, web based user interface designed to be both accessible to non-technical users and to offer the detailed controls experts demand -- Detailed understanding of recommendation performance and strategies through visual and tabular displays of performance data for every page and every recommendation box -- Selection and testing of standard "off-the-shelf" recommendation types versus unlimited merchandiser created customized types and Resonance's own automated and individualized recommendations -- Advanced control over recommendation strategies rules, priorities, placements and scheduling -- Enhanced A/B and multi-recommendation testing for simultaneous tracking and comparison of multiple recommendation strategies"Certona pioneered built-in A/B testing and reporting for personalization and has always provided the most transparent recommendations measurement capabilities with the Resonance platform," said Meyar Sheik, Certona's CEO.
