Project Overview
1
What We Built
- A personalization MVP that connects to the store platform, builds behavioral segments, and powers recommendation modules and variant copy tests.
- Teams knew personalization could move metrics but lacked a lean way to test real impact without a heavy CDP rollout.
- Ideal for: DTC brands looking to raise AOV and conversion, Marketplaces wanting smarter browse and search experiences, Growth teams experimenting with on-site AI
2
The Challenge
- Most mid-market ecommerce sites show the same experience to everyone, leaving money on the table.
- Hard to run controlled personalization experiments quickly
- Limited visibility into which segments respond to which experiences
- Vendor platforms often overkill for early experiments
3
Our Solution
- Start with a small set of high-impact placements (home hero, PLP carousels) and a handful of clear segments (e.g., new vs returning, discount seekers, category enthusiasts).
- Scope to a few placements with clear KPIs
- Use AI to generate copy variants constrained by brand guidelines
- Keep a simple fallback experience for all experiments
4
Results & Impact
- The brand saw measurable lift in click-through and add-to-cart rates for personalized experiences, justifying a wider rollout.
- Provides proof that personalization moves core metrics
- Gives growth teams a lightweight experimentation playbook
- Builds a foundation for future CDP or full-stack personalization
Key Features & Scalability
