But even with better search and merchandising in place, there are always ways to further boost your conversions and revenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In this post, we\u2019ll be looking specifically at your own branded products (or other high-margin items). These products can get you the most revenue per item, but you also don\u2019t want to showcase them if they\u2019re not relevant. Find out how to make a few simple changes in Bloomreach Discovery to bring more of your high-margin items to the forefront and drive greater revenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Adding an Attribute Boost&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>One way to prioritize high-margin products is to <a href=\"https:\/\/documentation.bloomreach.com\/discovery\/docs\/boost-attributes-in-search-results#select-numeric-attribute-values\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>add a specific attribute to your products<\/u><\/a> and then boost it. To do this, you\u2019ll need to first add \u201cmargin\u201d as a numeric attribute \u2014 it\u2019s important to have your magin as a numeric value only; for other value types, you\u2019ll need to contact Bloomreach support for assistance. From there, you can select the \u201cmargin\u201d attribute from the product grid:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/aGc33ZYsO15M9rbJDbvs6x0Qs2_SH8wG7dXGz6A80X8R9DNGTpJow6zbnVx1hcabOUKiUWFOsdtNsor9sFyd_xCs8iP8QaEuZtzVMVZvSJwltycKLOQ9UN6daUTGy8g4SAV2XIhMt9K2eyy1HVqkLBsqsAL5ToAStG2k-IrNfk2gWK7ST-DjV0mpVLlpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then, you can choose the boost strength with the slider. You\u2019ll also see options to bury (which you may want to use for low-margin items), as well as which products to include or exclude from results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bloomreach Discovery product grid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/discovery_high-margin_product-grid.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With this attribute rule in place, you can set the search terms you want to trigger this rule, as well as how long you want this rule to run for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Use Pathways and Recommendations&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>Bloomreach Discovery also gives you the ability to use pathway and recommendation widgets to spotlight specific products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you wanted to showcase your own branded products, you could use a \u201cbrand highlight\u201d or \u201cnew arrivals\u201d widget featuring only those products. See how this brand\u2019s own products appear on the side:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Example of showing high-margin items with Bloomreach Discovery\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/discovery_high-margin_watches-example.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you could also create a curated widget featuring your high-margin items that you add to content pages, such as on an ideas landing page or a DIY how-to article:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/GvTzIQ8zzaGtUTwgT7UOJYx7lQoRWenv6qrsOmzctvrXSq6hBX6ojeHiyXqaGO8h_MokJEUVSNlnUxKlVLfmg8hsPyOg7jQQVgzQMsCRyfP3tL4QMVBWe_C-mXWqQnbpSTO_GQtoZHvSrBXr8fZKAGyKNaNA8wSyNvwaUlmFxhIJEpcOLrCpfN_n6d8kLA\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can also take advantage of recommendation widgets to display your high-margin products to customers. Try using widgets like \u201csimilar products,\u201d \u201cfrequently bought\/viewed together,\u201d and \u201ctrending products\u201d in conjunction with pathways to create more opportunities to show high-margin items and increase conversions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While recommendations are typically powered by AI-driven algorithms, you can customize these to your needs.
