Videos in this holiday series include:

Boosting Product Attributes
With days dedicated to limited time offers and promotional pricing, consider creating holiday or even ‘deal’ specific rules to ensure promoted products and categories are top of mind across your site. Alex’s step by step guide shows you how to create holiday rules within minutes right in the RichRelevance dashboard.

Customer Preference Center
With Customer Preference Center (CPC) enabled, shoppers can explicitly tell you what products, categories or brands they like and dislike and RichRelevance harnesses that information to influence the weight algorithms place on those attributes or categories. CPC helps make personalization more robust, but we never want to confuse personal purchases with gift purchases. Watch Alex’s video to uncover a quick way to eliminate this concern.
If you don’t have CPC enabled and want to learn more about it please reach out to your account manager discuss setting it up.

Holiday Strategy Messaging 
Personalization comes in many forms and in many ways what you say is as important as how you say it. When it comes to recommendation messaging customers say that when brands use their own language they’re 35% more likely to engage with a recommendation placement because it feels more genuine to the brand. Customizing your strategy messaging is easier than ever within the RichRelevance Dashboard, Alex shows you how.

King of the Hill
Ever wondered how RichRelevance algorithms and strategies really work? How they know which strategy to show to which shopper? In Alex’s quick video he explains how King of the Hill eliminates the need to worry about manually manipulating recommendations.

Dynamic Landing Pages
With RichRelevance you can create dynamic landing pages for any segment you dream up. Alex walks through how you can ensure you’re getting the most money from your holiday search engine advertising spend with custom holiday landing pages by creating rules with specific date ranges or referrer URLS.
