We hope you’re having a great autumn so far. Christmas season is slowly approaching us again, and with that in mind, we have some new interesting updates regarding our freshest member of the product family, the Luigi’s Box Shopping Assistant. Let’s get started.
Gift Finder use case
You’re probably familiar with Luigi’s Box Shopping Assistant’s ability to help indecisive shoppers choose the right products when they simply don’t know how to choose the right gifts. We want to bring the spotlight to a use case that is especially useful during the upcoming Christmas holiday season.
Luigi’s Box Shopping Assistant has found the right place in numerous e-commerce stores as a dedicated Gift Finder. You can find this setting in the Shopping Assistant configuration in the Luigi’s Box app to redefine the scope of guided selling. Once you choose it, Gift Finder will let you nominate all categories of products suitable as presents. The questions can be customized to include information about age range, gender, relationship type (such as parent, child, sibling, spouse, and so on), gift type (educational, creative, outdoor, and others), and more.
Once you select the Gift Finder options, Luigi’s Box Shopping Assistant will help you with creating the perfect guided selling experience for gifts. The best placement for a Gift Finder is right on your homepage, so you’ll let every customer know that your website is ready to help them find the perfect gifts.
If you want to see how Gift Finder works in action, watch the video below.
Auto-translate in Shopping Assistant
Did you know that you can use automated translations to create language variations of existing shopping assistants? Simply click on the option to Add existing assistants in the Shopping Assistant main menu in the Luigi’s Box app, and select the shopping assistant you want to import. Then simply select the new language and the content of that guided shopping assistant will be translated.
Feature highlight—Visual Recommender
Welcome to another feature highlight. In this month’s newsletter, we’ll walk you through one of Luigi’s Box Recommender’s interesting features. Get to know Visual Recommender.
What is the Visual Recommender feature?
Visual Recommender is a type of recommender that provides product suggestions based on visual similarity between product images. So, let’s say a customer has been looking at a lot of blue dresses. Visual Recommender takes note of this and provides suggestions for dresses that look similar based on the images. As you can already tell, Visual Recommender is an ideal addition to e-commerce stores that rely on product images the most, such as fashion and furniture.
Why should you use it?
If your online selling relies on product images, you’re missing out on sales if you’re not using Visual Recommender. There are countless experiences where customers found the perfect product in sizes or styles that are sold out.
Visual Recommender can save the day by recommending the perfect alternatives and help you get the sales you need. If you start using it, make sure your images are without busy backgrounds to ensure correct functionality.
That’s all we have for this month’s newsletter. Stay tuned for more updates about Luigi’s Box features, webinars, and academy.
