Sponsored Products Within Personalization (+ Vice Versa)

Personalized Retail Media delivers 4x more ad revenue as compared to rules-based approaches like Citrus and Promote.

Customers are recommended relevant sponsored products that suit their shopping intent and/or evolving basket mix.

Brands automate access to in-market shoppers, promote products in competitive context and measure performance from Share of Voice (+30%) to ROAS (~16.4x) with closed loop analytics.

Market First: Control the Logic Powering Sponsored Placements

ALGORITHM CONTROL

Manage Data Longtails with Cascades

Recommendation quantity will differ based on where algorithms run across the funnel, and in respect to different signals a customer implicitly shares during their browsing and basket building.

Particular Audience MMRs allow retailers to create cascades of logic to allow 'next best algorithm' fall backs depending on the available recommendation results each algorithm has for each instance a request is made.

For example, a brand new item to site will have no 'Viewed Together' or 'Bought Together' data, creating a cold start problem: this is solved through natural language (NLP) or computer vision (CV) algorithms that understand who and where that item needs to be pushed in order to enhance discovery.

Algorithm Level Configuration & Reporting


ALGORITHM CONTROL

Algorithm Level AB Testing Grows Ad Yield

Not sure what algorithm to run as top priority in a cascade? Scale of data available usually correlates with accuracy of prediction, but the PA platform allows you to AB test algorithms at the same level of a cascade and then measure their exact performance against one another from engagement through to sales attribution.

Measuring Impact to Onsite Conversion Rate

PA AB tests sponsored products embedded within AI powered personalization versus pure 'best item' rank, to guarantee supplier sponsorship never cannibalises sales and engagement for retailers.

This is something we closely monitored on Surfstitch as we rolled out retail media functionality into onsite personalized product placements. All figures are performance of metrics as optimized in the 3 months from lauch.

AI guarantees placement accuracy and analytics ensure retail sales are never cannibalized whilst scaling retail media. Brands like Rip Curl, Billabong, DC and Quiksilver can promote products to in-market consumers without detriment to the retail experience. A win for retailer, brand, and customer.
