The mechanism
How Customer Intent Personalization Works
Assess
Ingest customer data: browsing history, purchase history, category preferences, price sensitivity, and email engagement.
Implement
Build intent profiles that score each customer on affinity for each product category, price point sensitivity, and seasonal trends.
Measure
Serve personalized product recommendations and offers across site and email. Measure conversion and AOV lift per segment.
The Customer Intent Personalization Playbook
Most personalization systems rely on collaborative filtering — users who bought X also bought Y. That works for Amazon-scale catalogs. DTC brands with 200-2,000 SKUs need a different approach: intent inference from browsing depth, category affinity, price sensitivity, and seasonal patterns. The model surfaces products the customer was going to search for next.
Recommendations that anticipate, not just react.
