Real-Time Segments: A Game-Changer for Merchandisers and Marketers

In today's fiercely competitive retail landscape, merchandisers and marketers face the constant challenge of creating personalized and engaging shopping experiences that drive customer satisfaction, sales growth, and brand loyalty. While traditional approaches to personalization have relied on static segmentation methods, a revolutionary tool has emerged to transform the way businesses interact with their customers: real-time segments.

The real-time segments feature is powered by Bloomreach Discovery and Bloomreach Engagement, and harnesses real-time customer data to personalize product discovery and merchandising strategies at scale. This is made possible by Loomi, Bloomreach’s commerce-focused AI, which leverages demographic, behavioral, and contextual data to tailor product recommendations and merchandising strategies to individual customer preferences — all in real time.

Unlocking Revenue Growth With Real-Time Segments

The impact of real-time segments on revenue growth is undeniable. Our customers across diverse industries have witnessed an average 12% increase in revenue per visitor, with some cases demonstrating an impressive boost of over 30%. This remarkable growth stems from the ability of real-time segments to guide customers to the products they’re most likely to purchase, leading to increased conversion rates and higher average order values.

Here are some of the things you can achieve with real-time segments: 

• Deliver a truly personalized omnichannel experience that resonates with each customer's unique preferences
• Increase sales and conversions by tailoring product discovery and merchandising strategies to individual customer needs
• Enhance customer satisfaction and brand loyalty by delivering an exceptional personalized experience that fosters repeat visits and brand advocacy
• Make informed marketing and merchandising decisions based on real-time customer data, maximizing the effectiveness of every campaign and initiative

Let’s explore these benefits in more detail.
