Custom category recommendations don’t use additional data such as orders or page views. The products shown are entirely defined by the filters you set.
Before you start
Things you need to know:
This recommendation generates a maximum of 10 results.
Create a custom category recommendation
Go to Content > Products > Recommendations.
Select CREATE RECOMMENDATION.
Hover over the Custom category block, and select SELECT.
How it works
The custom category is a general, non-personalised recommendation. Filters you define in the recommendation builder produce a single product set, which applies to all targeted contacts.
Only the filters you define determine which products appear. No behavioural data is used.
Matching products are ranked in order of newest first.
Getting the best results
Custom category recommendations can cover key product areas, for example:
Budget snowboards for beginners
Bindings for Burton snowboards
Snow boots for children
Use these recommendations to quickly build targeted campaigns.
Why use this recommendation?
Custom category recommendations are reusable and have no data dependencies other than a catalog.
