Andrej Rylov 8.1 8 === **General information** ===
Andrej Rylov 1.2 9
10 **Product recommendations** are a tool for creating effective customer communications via email campaigns, as well as widgets on the website and in the Mobile Application.
11
12 Key objectives of product recommendation tools:
13
14 * Personalize interactions with customers;
15 * Encourage customers to perform specific actions aligned with the Company’s goals and interests;
16 * Achieve business objectives;
17 * Automate marketing activities and test hypotheses.
18
19 Product recommendations are generated using the [[Loymax AI>>doc:Main.General_information.Loymax_AI.WebHome]] module whose algorithms enable fast and accurate processing and analysis of large data volumes. Marketers and analysts can focus on developing business strategies while delegating technical big-data processing tasks to artificial intelligence for specific business purposes.
20
21 Business goals achieved through personalized communications using product recommendations:
22
23 * [[Improving customer interaction quality>>doc:Main.General_information.CRM.Member_lifecycle.CJM.WebHome]] with the Company;
24 * Enhancing customer experience through recommendations;
25 * Suggesting alternative products;
26 * Expanding the shopping cart;
27 * Increasing purchase frequency;
28 * Increasing average order value;
29 * Promoting specific products, product lines, and brands;
30 * Clearing out inventory;
31 * Other business metrics marketers aim to influence through campaigns and customer engagement scenarios.
32
33 Product recommendations are generated using statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms. These algorithms leverage both historical data and real-time online actions by customers on the website. They analyze preferences, predict behavior, and deliver the most relevant product recommendations for each individual customer.

Andrej Rylov 11.1 37 * To use these algorithms in **Product Recommendations** macros within [[Smart Communications>>doc:Main.Smart_Communications.SMC_Use.WebHome]], please contact Loymax specialists.
Andrej Rylov 1.2 38 * The Product Recommendations module is an optional, separately licensed feature available on a paid basis.

Andrej Rylov 8.1 41 === **Interaction of Loymax infrastructure components for generating product recommendations** ===
Andrej Rylov 1.2 42
43 Data sources for receipts, customers, and products from the product catalog used to generate product recommendations include the **DWH BI** data warehouse and/or the **ClickHouse SmartCom** database management system. This data is transferred to the **Loymax AI** module, where it is processed and product recommendations are calculated using ML algorithms. The resulting recommendations are then delivered via API to **data marts**. The **API-proxy server** validates incoming requests and formats responses for Smart Communications. **Smart Communications** retrieves responses from the **API-proxy server**, enriches them with data (images, product names, links, prices, etc.), inserts them into predefined templates, and sends mass messagings containing the generated product recommendations to customers.

Andrej Rylov 14.1 59 1. Since the product recommendation macro operates on a list of recommendations, specific items are inserted into the message body using the control structures shown in the table above. See an example of the **Product Recommendations** module control structure [[here>>doc:Main.Smart_Communications.SMC_Use.Recommendations.WebHome||anchor="HDisplayingrecommendationsinmessages"]].

63 Recommendations produced by each algorithm differ because they serve distinct business goals and are based on different models, algorithms, hyperparameters, etc. When selecting a specific algorithm and usage scenario, it’s essential to consider multiple factors:
64
65 * The objective of the specific marketing campaign (information/communication);
66 * The desired customer action following the communication;
67 * Customer touchpoints and content delivery channels.
68
69 This means that combining multiple recommendation algorithms can lead to the most favorable outcome for the Company and effectively motivate customers to take specific actions.
70
71 Communication channels using product recommendations:
72
73 1. Email,
74 1. Website widget (a graphical application that displays content on a desktop, smartphone/tablet screen, or web page),
75 1. Mobile Application,
76 1. Personal Account.

Andrej Rylov 1.2 81
82 The **Popular Products** algorithm calculates a ranking across the [[entire*>>doc:||anchor="Star"]] product list. It recommends the top-N most popular products from each category based on each product’s position in the overall ranking.
83 This approach recommends a broader range of products (i.e., several items from different categories), which is preferable for achieving business goals.
84 Product rankings are calculated based on total units sold across all customer purchases—i.e., the most purchased items.
85 **All purchases** include both online and offline transactions processed through Loymax.

Andrej Rylov 1.2 223
224 This algorithm incorporates a series of models and techniques based on the **[[Association Rule Learning>>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_rule_learning]]** methodology.
225
226 Association rules for product recommendations consist of logical rules that identify relationships between products and generate recommendations based on those relationships. These rules help predict which products may interest a customer and offer relevant suggestions based on prior purchases or current browsing behavior, thereby enhancing personalization and customer satisfaction.
227
228 At first glance, each customer’s in-store purchases appear unique. However, customers develop similar behavioral patterns driven by shared needs. People's needs often overlap, allowing us to identify typical purchasing behaviors under specific conditions.
229
230 (% class="box" %)
231 (((
232 A classic example of an association rule is: **Customers who bought Product A also buy Product B**. This rule, derived from purchase history analysis, enables recommending Product B to customers who previously bought or are currently interested in Product A.
233 )))
234
235 Association rules can be complex and include multiple conditions.
236
237 (% class="box" %)
238 (((
239 For example: **Customers who bought Product A and Product B also buy Product C**. This rule suggests that customers who have already purchased Products A and B may be interested in Product C—i.e., a combination of two, three, or more products.

241
242 Assume we have customer purchase history data indicating which products were bought together. Association rules identify product relationships and generate recommendations accordingly.
243
244 (% class="box" %)
245 (((
246 For instance, consider the following association rules:
247 \\**Rule 1**: Customers who bought Cheddar cheese also buy crackers.
248 **Rule 2**: Customers who bought Gouda cheese also buy red wine.
249 **Rule 3**: Customers who bought Brie cheese also buy pears.
250 \\Thus, a recommendation system leveraging association rules could suggest:
251
252 * Crackers to a customer interested in Cheddar cheese (Rule 1).
253 * Red wine to a customer who purchased Gouda cheese (Rule 2).

Andrej Rylov 1.2 292
Andrej Rylov 1.3 293 The **Personalized Product Recommendations** algorithm is an ensemble of multiple models and algorithms. Its foundation is the [[Collaborative Filtering>>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_filtering]] technique.
Andrej Rylov 1.2 294 Using this method within an ensemble of models—alongside other algorithms—produces more relevant product recommendations for each customer.
295
296 **Collaborative filtering** is a method for generating predictions (recommendations) in [[recommendation systems>>doc:Main.General_information.Loymax_Loyalty.recommendation_systems.WebHome]] by leveraging known preferences (ratings) from a group of customers to predict unknown preferences for another customer.
297
298 The core assumption of this method is: customers who have purchased similar products/categories in the past are likely to make similar future purchases of other products they haven’t bought yet—but that their nearest “neighbors” (i.e., customers with highly similar purchase histories) have purchased.
