Use product recommendations to define the products you want to recommend to your contacts. Each product recommendation is made up of two options:
Type
How you recommend products, for example, best sellers, most viewed, and more.Filters (optional)
How you want to filter the recommended products, for example, female running shoes less than £100.
If you are an ecommerce retailer, you can use product recommendations to add dynamic product content to your campaigns.
