Conversational Shopping

Transform browsing into guided shopping conversations

Turn overwhelming product catalogs into personalized shopping conversations. Conversational shopping uses AI to guide customers through complex product selections like an expert sales associate would in-store. For example: Instead of showing 200 skincare products, AI asks about skin type and concerns to recommend the perfect match. Ready to make product discovery feel effortless?

Why Marketers Use Bloomreach for Conversational Commerce

Large product catalogs overwhelm shoppers, leading to high bounce rates and abandoned sessions when customers can’t find what they need. Traditional filters and search bars often miss the mark, frustrating customers who don’t know exactly what to search for.

You need conversational shopping to bridge this gap — Bloomreach Clarity transforms passive browsing into interactive, guided experiences that feel like having a personal shopping assistant available 24/7, dramatically improving discovery and conversion rates.

Simplifying Product Discovery Through Conversational AI

Transform complex product catalogs into intuitive conversational experiences that guide shoppers to the perfect products.

This approach reduces bounce rates while turning passive browsing into an interactive, guided shopping journey that builds customer confidence and drives purchases.

How It Works

AI engages shoppers with personalized conversation starters based on their browsing behavior and product category, replacing overwhelming static product grids with intuitive dialogue.

Customers answer clarifying questions about preferences, needs, and use cases — like skin type for beauty products or room size for furniture — making the shopping process more focused and relevant.

Bloomreach Clarity processes responses using deep product catalog knowledge and customer data to understand intent and narrow down options intelligently.

The conversation continues dynamically, allowing customers to refine choices, ask follow-up questions, or explore alternatives based on their evolving preferences throughout the session.
