Why is Blendee different? What are its strengths compared to other personalization and marketing automation solutions?

Blendee is a different platform for 3 main reasons

  • is natively omnichannel (online and offline)
  • allows you to segment users starting from their behaviours and using all data sources in real time, creating dynamic clusters based on the user's lifecycle and beyond
  • has a customization engine driven by artificial intelligence that enables predictive marketing strategies

Not enough for you? Delve deeper into each of these points below. Natively omnichannel. Blendee has a horizontal approach. This means that the segmentation and personalization engine can be shared across all communication channels (website, social, email, store, customer care, etc.). The benefit of this is the ability to share strategies and decisions even among multiple departments (marketing, communication, customer service, retail) in a completely automatic way by simply defining rules for each channel.This approach is substantially different from many solutions that are instead focused on, for example, just personalizing the website or just personalizing email communication. Blendee interacts in real time with each user regardless of the channel, and this allows for a personalized and consistent experience throughout the customer journey, even offline for example in customer service or point of sale. Blendee has a feature called experience manager that allows you to design personalized experiences by making all channels interact.Dynamic segmentation, on all data, in real time based on the lifecycle. To get a complete view on the consumer you need to take into account all available data by updating it in real time. Blendee does not only customize the offer based on the user's browsing, but taking into account the entire history and contextual variables. It segments for this in a comprehensive way by identifying the user's status at that exact moment: for example, if he is at risk (because he has not purchased for a long time), if he is waiting (abandoning pages or cart), if he is hero (buying many products and frequently). Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Marketing. Blendee works on all available data from all sources and constantly learns to refine its knowledge of users. Blendee 's artificial intelligence contains 12 algorithms that can group people based on similar profile and/or behavior. The machine learning system constantly learns from the audience and all the information concurs to anticipate the next move. As the user interacts with Blendee, the platform reconnects the similarity information and proposes what it considers to be the winning product for sale. In addition, it can independently determine which channel to do so on based on the user's customer journey.

Will I have guaranteed and constant technical assistance?

Certainly. We offer our professionalism to help you achieve your goals. Included in the contract is a package of support hours to get your project started and train you on using the platform. Our clients are then given access to Blendee Academy, a series of free training appointments on the platform and marketing automation strategies to stay up-to-date on the innovations in our world. Last but not least if you follow our social profiles, our blog or subscribe to our newsletter you will receive a series of interesting content to read and download to stay up-to-date on these topics.

Does Blendee allow management of multiple websites and multiple catalogs at the same time?

Sure, Blendee is structured to handle:infinite websites (among which you can share segmentations) infinite catalogs (characterized by different languages and currencies)

Can Blendee also work on B2B e-commerce models?

Of course. We can automate learning processes so that our algorithms recognize Business Users and offer different products and communications. Also, the automatic systems will be differentiated so that they don't "clash" with any consumer catalogues.

Installation and Configuration

Once installed, will I have to insert a "div" or "Custom Tag" in each area to be customized?

No, once you install Blendee, you will be able to manage the customizations, directly from the dashboard that will be provided. Nothing could be simpler!

Once installed, how long will it take to learn?

Blendee has an original approach in this aspect as well: the learning engine will also learn from your history right away.

In fact, we have developed a process that allows us to train our learning algorithms through artificial intelligence so that right from the start you can benefit from a good level of personalization.

This will speed up the process that would usually take several months.

In addition to this, our technology allows us to offer a marketing intelligence and marketing automation platform as refined as Blendee even to those who do not have large volumes, understood as monthly page views or a user base that is not too large.

Are special technical skills required to use Blendee?

No, it's very simple. The plugin installation is fast and the structure of the dashboard is designed to make the actions to be done and the metrics to be monitored clear and visible.

Will Blendee integration bring slowdowns to my site? Could it generate errors?

Absolutely not! Blendee scripts do not create problems (unlike other platforms partially developed with server-side functionality). Our algorithms are invoked through JavaScript asynchronously and "exist" within an isolated "Blendee" object. Precisely because of this, they do not give any problems or slowdowns and look like this (quite similar to the famous Google Analytics scripts):Customized namespaces: in some cases, some of our clients who wish for various reasons to "keep" the provider of their intelligence technology secret, have asked us to customize the "namespace" as well so as to have within their website scripts that do not contain Blendee.com but nometuosito.ext.
