Challenge

Despite its best efforts, Vitkac knew that it had a long way to go to improve the user experience and functionality of its website. The brand’s original website experience was missing relevant links to product pages that typically helped customers connect with the best product for their needs.

Vitkac wanted to find a way for users to easily navigate from product to product as they shopped the online store instead of making them go back to the main category page each time, which would end in a frustrating user experience.

Solution

Bloomreach Engagement was the perfect tool to help Vitkac’s website become more easily navigable. More specifically, Vitkac tapped into Bloomreach’s powerful customer data engine to match customers’ real-time intentions to personalized product recommendations, offering tailored touchpoints for customers to continue their shopping journey.

Instead of adding simple rule-based models like “bestsellers” or “recently viewed items” to their product pages, Vitkac harnessed Bloomreach’s Loomi AI-powered recommendation models to suggest products to customers that they would actually be interested in purchasing. By fine-tuning the model to include in-stock items only, exclude previously purchased items, and only recommend products that match the gender and category of the product being viewed, Vitkac could provide the perfect next step in each customer’s experience.

We wanted to create a better digital experience for our customers to closely match the top-tier in-person experience we’re known for, and we couldn’t have achieved the numbers that we did in the first six months without a powerful solution like Bloomreach.
