With Nosto’s Dynamic Bundles product extension, online merchants can easily bundle together products based on their visual appeal, brand relation, practical use, and more. With this functionality, it’s easier than ever to incentivize more online sales and increase average customer order value.
What are Dynamic Bundles and why do they matter to my store?
Dynamic Bundles are a way to create sub-collections of items within Nosto that go well together (e.g. grouping products that are frequently bought together or products that complete an outfit). Each bundle is shown onsite through the use of Onsite Product Recommendations.
So why are Dynamic Bundles an important element of the shopping experience? Well, the answer to this is simple. First, think about the usual brick-and-mortar setting. Whether you’re shopping at a sprawling suburban mall or a boutique store, the experience is typically the same: The store is adorned with mannequins in fully realized outfits, and pieces of clothing are sectioned off by brand, style, or type.
But those aren’t the only advantages. Most cross-selling tools will display products from a list of similar product types or a merchant’s best sellers. Dynamic Bundles take a step beyond this by taking into account the product that’s being currently viewed when populating relevant recommendations. This means that product recommendations can adjust in color, style, and texture to match each item a customer is viewing. This can be completely dynamic, partially dynamic, or 100% manual—giving a merchant full control over the logic behind when, how, and even if Dynamic Bundles display on different category pages.
The result? Well, bundling products together and inspiring shoppers to buy more can naturally to lead to higher Average Order Value and consequentially, higher sales. You can keep track of both these metrics in the ‘Site Metrics’ section of your Nosto Dashboard & Analytics.
What do popular use cases for Dynamic Bundles look like?
By using this tooling, merchants can bundle together products based on a wide range of attributes. This allows them to focus on specific brands, certain price ranges, profit margins, coloring, and more. With all of this in mind, let’s dive into a few use cases of what this can look like.
Display recommendations that ‘Complete the Look’
Almost like a virtual mannequin, Dynamic Bundles have enabled lifestyle brand Volcom to display other snowboard clothing categories that complete the look for site visitors who are browsing jackets onsite. Additionally, Bundles are able to identify the color and style of the product being viewed to ensure that the bundle recommendations match. If you’re interested in tailoring your store to show specific recommendations based on different genders or age groups, this is a great tool to utilize. In fact, Volcom’s Dynamic Bundles campaigns have seen conversion rates of approximately 6% since their launch.
Engage visitors to decrease site abandonment
Fashion brand ModLi is an amazing example of using dynamic bundles to effectively capture site visitors before they leave. When a visitor lands on the product page below, they’ll also be shown a dynamic bundle featuring the same product in multiple patterns. A setup like this mimics the experience of browsing in a store because it shows a consumer the item they want to buy and lets them choose which type of color will best suit their interests.
Diversify your Dynamic Bundles by choosing multiple targeting rules to pop up on each of your product pages. Take a look at clothing retailer Bluenotes below. In the image on the left they display products that help complete the look of the currently viewed product, while also showing other relevant suggestions in case the customer is considering navigating away from the page. In the right-hand image they also show relevant product suggestions, while also playing off of the customer’s decision to view a product containing stripes. Each is a great way to increase relevance on product pages and, ultimately, drive more conversions.
