About
Order value recommendations focus on the monetization phase of the customer lifecycle by identifying products with a high propensity to be added to the cart and then purchased.
Why
The order value depends on the products highlighted in your email campaign, the extent of product price discounting, and your ability to upsell or cross-sell. Consequently, by continuously improving the average order value, you are moving toward sustainable and profitable revenue growth.
NOTE: It's common for many products to sell well without any price discounting.
How
The recommendations are based on uplift modeling aimed at achieving optimal results using the Number of Items Added to Cart per session as a middle-of-the-funnel indicator of email relevancy to the shopper, and Revenue Per Item Added to Cart as a bottom-of-the-funnel metric of email revenue results.
What
Presentation
The recommendations are presented in two ways:
Product Cards - Visualizing the products as they could appear in the email; this option requires access to product metadata through a connection to Google Merchant Center.
Table - Presenting the list of products along with their key performance metrics.
