30-second summary:

  • As Latin America’s leading ecommerce marketplace, Linio provides its customers with a vast assortment of products, making their lives a little easier when they need something to buy.

The Challenge

The marketplace shopping experience can be an overwhelming one, given the vast product assortment to browse from.

To fulfill its mission of making the customers’ lives a little easier when they need to buy something, the team at Linio needed to guide shoppers to the right products effectively.

This would require a solution that could assist in:

  • Identifying high-value audience segments in real time
  • Optimizing at scale to ensure the best products or offers for each visitor
  • Experimenting with various social proof strategies

Execution

Personalized homepage sub-banner promotions by browsing history

As a marketplace, one of the most popular pages on the Linio site is its homepage, which shoppers often use to kickstart the product discovery process.

Leveraging high real-estate sub-banners on the page, the retailer wanted to test the strategy behind its “deals of the week” promotions, attempting to incorporate visitor browsing history based on categories recently viewed instead of just their location.

Leveraging Dynamic Yield’s Audience Explorer tool, Linio identified the best audience segments to target according to their size and buying power.

They then launched a campaign across all of its five sites; each country tested popular weekly promotions versus ones personalized to the visitor.

Ultimately the personalized sub-banners drove a significant uplift in CTR (+300%), guiding shoppers to the most relevant promotion.

Implemented PDP notifications to encourage deeper product discovery among first-time search visitors

Linio noticed most first-time paid and organic search visitors landing on product detail pages (PDP) shared high bounce rates.

The team hypothesized if the item in view didn’t precisely fit their needs, the natural instinct of the shopper would be to navigate away from the site.

To encourage them to continue exploring the site and find the right product, a bottom bar banner was generated to promote other products in the same category.

By showcasing this message, Linio saw a 23% increase in revenue per user (RPU).

PDP notifications

Tested urgency and social proof messaging across product and category pages

Recognizing customers sometimes need a bit of motivation to get to check-out, Linio began highlighting daily offers on category pages to ensure shoppers were capitalizing on the great deals available during key promotional periods.

The retailer A/B tested a landing page against a control, experimenting with a countdown timer along with a progress bar indicating how many promotions were left to be redeemed.

Linio witnessed a 30% boost in conversion when the landing page displayed urgency and social proof messages.

On product pages, the team tested different social proof messages to determine which would be more effective in reducing hesitancy when it comes to decision-making and result in higher conversions.
