The Challenge

Pushing past conventional personalization

Sonos is an American developer and manufacturer of audio products best known for its multi-room setups. The ecommerce team was looking to increase on-site revenue performance - and potentially replace an existing personalization solution that wasn't delivering the results they expected.

Sonos' Director of ecommerce and ecommerce Product Manager teamed up with Zoovu to go beyond conventional segmentation and curate each visitor's shopping experience on an individual level, in real-time.

The Solution

1:1 predictive recommendations, validated head-to-head

Rather than grouping site visitors into segments and serving the same recommendations to all - as conventional personalization does - the Sonos ecommerce team used Zoovu's predictive engine to anticipate consumer behavior and tailor the ideal path to purchase, 1:1, in real-time.

Sonos then ran an A/B test between the incumbent solution and Zoovu to clearly identify the difference in results - no assumptions, only measured impact.

The Results

A clean win in a direct bake-off

A Proof of Concept (POC) ran as a direct bake-off against the incumbent solution. 50% of traffic (Control) experienced the Sonos site with the existing personalization elements, while 50% (Test) saw the site powered by Zoovu.

Smart Elements live during the POC sat on the Product Detail Page (PDP) and Shopping Cart Page - identical placements across both solutions.
