Dynamic Yield Improves eCommerce Sales with Deep Learning-Based Personalized Listing Pages
Dynamic Yield has introduced its deep learning-based Ranking engine, which allows eCommerce brands to personalize their product listing pages. The engine uses a self-training deep learning model to predict what products an individual is most likely to engage with or purchase based on past behaviors and in-session activity. By personalizing product listing pages, brands can increase product clicks, add-to-cart rates, and average revenue per user. During a pilot, e.l.f. Cosmetics saw a 29% increase in revenue per user for those who purchased items discovered through a personalized listing page. The solution is part of Dynamic Yields adaptive AI system and is gradually being rolled out to customers.
