The Challenge

Buying premium home appliances is personal. Customers juggle lifestyle fit, space constraints, aesthetics, and delivery logistics. With a large catalog, repeating items or showing products that are unavailable in a customer’s region hurts the experience and can lead to post-click abandonment.

Winning Group needed a smarter personalization approach that understands intent, adapts after a purchase, avoids duplication, and respects regional availability so every recommendation feels helpful and shoppable.

The Outcome

Consistently high engagement across lifecycle email programs, with AI-driven content contributing to more than 95% of email opens over most of the past year.

During a major campaign burst in June 2025 that reached more than 8 million sends, AI-generated product recommendations drove more than 72% of opens and nearly 50% of clicks.

A smoother discovery experience that reduces post-click disappointment by filtering for regional inventory and removing previously viewed categories.

Enhanced Post-Purchase Cross-Sell

Each post-purchase journey starts with the customer’s most recent purchase as the anchor. Products from the same category level as that purchase are automatically filtered out to avoid redundancy, opening space for complementary cross-category suggestions that encourage broader discovery.

A custom product-to-product recommendation feed is imported directly into Blueshift to bring Winning Group’s logic into the personalization engine. Blueshift’s post-purchase recommendations then extend the journey with “what others bought next,” blending relevance with real-time buying patterns to drive engagement and conversion.

These recommendations are delivered in a series of automated post-purchase emails.

Strategic Content Curation With Flexible Inclusion

For campaign and seasonal moments, marketers curate handpicked product collections. By default, Blueshift ensures product uniqueness across recommendation blocks, but Winning Group can make exclusion optional when they want a previously shown item to reappear later for emphasis.

Marketers can also blend handpicked items with event-based products such as recent product views or cart additions, even if those appeared earlier in the message. This keeps follow-up journeys like abandonment reminders consistent while balancing marketer control with algorithmic adaptability.

Geo-Personalization Based on Customer Location

Large appliances vary by region. Winning Group and Blueshift implemented recommendation recipes inside the Blueshift platform that factor multi-region availability and each customer’s known location.

Every item shown is available for delivery where the customer lives, which prevents post-click abandonment and builds trust for high-consideration purchases with complex fulfillment logistics.

Conclusion

This ecommerce personalization example shows how combining AI-driven automation with marketer control helps Winning Group anticipate needs and keep recommendations relevant long after the initial purchase.
