What are Lifetimely Recommendations & how are they better than other AI recommendations?
Lifetimely recommendations are powered by doing basket analysis on what was bought by a customer with a particular product on their first order, second order and so on. You can see the live recommendations in Product Journey on Lifetimely.
Given this is done on data collected from your orders in Lifetimely and not just related products via titles etc. This should also avoid showing titles/products that sometimes don't make sense as automated recommendations. Our hypothesis is given that it is driven by actual basket analysis, this is higher chances of being meaningful and better. For products that have not been bought before, you can always set up manual backup or Shopify automated recommendations.
We are working on next steps where you will be able to compare recommendations from Shopify & Lifetimely and put exclusions/guardrails around what you want to show.
