Introduction

The algorithm auto-identifies the following parameters:

  • professional builders
  • retail customers, who are in the process of a minor home maintenance or major repair
  • retail customers, who plan a minor home maintenance or major repair 

Additionally, the algorithm segments customers by project geolocation:

  • maintenance or repair of premises within the city (e.g. apartment, office)
  • maintenance, repair or construction in the countryside

The algorithm then specifies Product Recommendations based on this data.

Add Additional Parameters to Your XML-file

For the algorithm to work properly every product in your XML Product Feed should have additional properties:

  • frequently purchased product;
  • product type;
  • products used for maintenance, repair or construction in the countryside;
  • construction type.

This data should be included into the XML-file in the form of specific product parameters and send to PersonaClick.
