What is Advanced Sequencing for Product Listing Pages?

Advanced product sequencing is the act of sequencing the products on your product listing pages, filtered by different attributes or tags like product type, product colours, trending score etc. It is automated, can be applied to any of your product listing pages and is fuelled by the use of artificial intelligence combined with human intelligence.

How Does Offline Merchandising Happen Today?

Offline merchandising was a thing much before e-commerce came into the picture. Offline merchandisers either arrange their products by what's most visually appealing or by what's hot-selling (think of supermarkets). Similarly, you can do the same and more for online merchandising through advanced product sequencing.

Limitations of Online Merchandising in Magento, Shopify, and BigCommerce Today

  • It is done manually, which makes it prone to errors.
  • It is time-consuming that can hamper productivity.
  • It isn't dynamic. The updates happen only when manual changes are made.
  • No product performance data is available to give merchandising insights.

2. Instantly Control Visitor Experience

A high bounce rate is because the visitor experience is not satisfactory. A visitor spends approximately 5 minutes on a retail website. That's all the time you have, to convince them to make a purchase. With advanced product sequencing, you can control what you want to show and improve the visitor experience. For example, one way to do that is to show trending products first or new arrivals first.

3. Showcase Products Intelligently, Efficiently & Effectively

Advanced product sequencing is data-driven, offering performance insights. Intelligent AI allows for effective and efficient product sequencing that is appealing to your customers. It has dynamic product sorting capabilities.

4. Increase Product Discovery

With a low bounce rate, your customers tend to scroll longer because they something they are interested in. They discover more products this way. You can also promote products that are usually deep inside your product listing page for a certain category. Advanced product sequencing also improves click-through ration (CTR), by 25%.
