Merchandising

In addition to the powerful automated solutions in eSales Lifestyle, several features are available that provide retailers with a degree of manual control of their merchandising options.

Page merchandising

Pages is an interface for merchandising pages and listings driven by eSales Lifestyle. The Pages interface comes with new merchandising options of product listings and applies to all category and landing pages. This means that requests both on site and as well as external requests are supported, i.e. any listing anywhere driven through eSales Lifestyle can be merchandised.

Merchandising of pages does not require a pre-built navigation structure and pages are automatically generated, as well as populated in the Category and Landing Pages interface, through page queries via the Web API or page requests using the Web Components.

For more information, see Category and Landing Pages and Settings.

Exposure strategies

Apptus eSales Lifestyle enables a retailer to automatically optimise what kind of products to expose on their site based on which business objective they choose: more conversions, higher revenue, or profit.

Conversions exposes products that sell more. Optimising for revenue exposes higher priced products and optimising for profit exposes high margin products. With the latter two strategies there is a direct correlation to the products exposed by the conversion optimised strategy. The strategies can also be A/B-tested against each other to see which performs the best.

For more information, see Exposure Strategies.

Promotions and demotions

To affect seasonal products, manage stock levels, or reward house brands, retailers can manually boost selected products to be pushed higher up in the product listings within their current context.

The opposite is to demote selected products, such as seasonal wear that is out of season, by burying them lower down in search results and category pages.

For more information, see Promotions and Demotions.

Email recommendations

Omni-channel merchandising is made possible with Email Recommendations, an app based add-on for eSales Lifestyle that provides personalised recommendations within emails to customers. The add-on includes several powerful features for customisation in an easy to use interface.
