13.04 Release (2/14/2013)

RichContent

Note: This is a beta release of our new product.

Many clients, specifically brands, have created valuable content (marketing, educational information) to attract and empower customers to learn about and experience their products. With all of this content, brands aren't able to connect with shoppers on an individual basis to provide relevant content. 

Content Personalization addresses this problem by determining the right content to show each individual shopper, based on shopper behavior and information provided by the shopper. 

Who would benefit from this solution?

  • Brands, such as Nike, Adidas
  • Commerce, such as Travel, Finance
  • Media, such as ESPN, Yahoo

Merchandising Content

Clients can merchandise content and products based on user attributes (just like product attributes) through the Merchandising section of the RichRelevance dashboard. Examples of user attributes could be gender or age. A multi-valued attribute could be edgy or traditional for style.

Two new tabs: (one for Product, one for Content). The Content tab is only visible if this feature has been configured for your site.

Documentation

For instructions on how to pass user attributes via instrumentation, please speak with your Client Services Engineer.

New Page Types - My Page and Brand Page

My Page is a page on the retailer's site that is about an individual shopper. We want to deliver relevant product recommendations and strategies when a shopper looks at their profile. For example, if there a page on the retailer's site that allows the shopper to give their profile information for various interests, this page would return recommendations based on these preferences. Utilizing a separate page type that's dedicated to that shopper will allow Ueber to show the right content and strategies.

Brand Page is a page on the retailer's site and is about specific brand.

Key benefits to having a separate page type for brand:

  • Ueber optimizes strategies based on the page type--so the strategies used on a brand page may be different from strategies used on other page types.  
  • Having a new page type solely dedicated to brand enables us to generate reports easily. We can view how the brand page performs and the performance of specific brands. Note: Reporting by brand will be in a future feature.
