Align Algorithms to Context:
Choose “Frequently Bought Together” on product pages and “Popular Products” on homepages to match shopper mindset.
Use Merchandising Overrides Sparingly:
Apply “boost” or “pin” rules for strategic SKUs (new launches or clearance) but let AI handle the bulk of ranking for agility.
Monitor & Iterate:
Track click-through and add-to-cart rates per widget. Swap algorithms or adjust rule weights based on performance insights.
Combine Static and Dynamic:
Pair AI-generated lists with hand-picked hero SKUs in a single carousel to blend data-driven relevance with editorial curation.
Schedule for Seasonal Campaigns:
Use scheduled widgets to automatically surface holiday gift guides or limited-time collections without manual intervention.
