17. Future Learnings and
Considerations :
• Prepare list to market items
as soon as possible
• Coordinate messaging across
all sites to drive additional
revenue
• Consider bias of specialised
products across the site,
instead of custom rec types
• Personalisation types of ‘Hot
Sellers’ or ‘Trending’ could
also drive results
