When creating a custom page from scratch, you need a few crucial elements to make the page convert better. Many merchants optimize their custom pages by strategically placing elements that make the shopper stay on the page for longer and nudge them to shop. One way to enhance your custom pages is by adding personalized product recommendations. We have a new integration to help you easily add recommendations on your custom pages!
Announcing our new integration with GemPages!
Wiser now integrates with GemPages, a flexible page builder for Shopify. With this integration, you can display product recommendations on your custom pages to increase sales.
Why Should You Add Product Recommendations to Custom Pages?
When building custom pages, merchants need to display and feature products on these pages. However, having to manually edit these products every time you add a product or change your strategy is too much work.
With an AI-powered product recommendations app, you can easily add recommendation widgets that adapt to the shopper who is viewing the page or display recommendations that are in context. For instance, you could add an ‘Inspired By Your Browsing History’ widget on this custom page. So, for shoppers whose browsing history is filled with shoes, the recommendations on the custom page would reflect this interest.
This way, you can maximize your conversions and create more opportunities to sell more to your store visitors, displaying only recommendations that shoppers are sure to engage with and ensuring store visitors spend more time on your Shopify store.
