How to Recommend a Skincare Routine with Slots

With RevenueHunt Product Recommendation Quiz, it is possible to group products into slots and recommend a product for each step in a beauty routine.

This guide is designed to help merchants effectively use Product Slot Blocks on the results page to organize product recommendations.

A personalized skincare routine recommendation quiz was chosen as an example to best demonstrate how to work with this feature. See an example of such a Skincare Quiz here.

Step 1: Understand Recommendation Mechanism

Make sure that you're familiar with how the recommendations work in RevenueHunt app.

How do I get the right recommendations?

Our product recommendation algorithm works like a voting system:

• Products are linked to each choice
• When a customer picks a choice, all linked products receive one vote
• After the customer takes the quiz, the results page will show the most voted products sorted by the number of votes
• If no products have been linked or all the products have been excluded, the results page will appear empty
• If there's a draw in the number of votes, the app will randomize the order of products.

If you want to make the results ultra-precise, you can also:

• Limit the recommendations to only show products that received X votes or more in the Results Page settings.
• Use Exclusions to make sure that unwanted products are not shown (even if they were upvoted in another choice earlier).

It's advised to familiarize yourself with this voting system before working with Product Slots.

Step 2: Organize Products into Collections/Categories

To group products into slots, you’ll need to create new collections in your Shopify store. These collections will be used to group your products on the results page.

1. Identify Product Categories: Determine your skincare product categories (e.g., Cleansers, Toners, Serums, Moisturizers).
2. • a Cleansers collection should have all the cleansing products, a Toners collection should have all the toning products,
   • a Serums collection should have all the serums, etc.
   • You can have more than one collection that includes some of the same products.

   Create Collections: For each category, create a collection in your Shopify store with the right products. Each collection should only contain products relevant to its category. For example,

   

3. Catalog Sync: Perform a catlog sync after creating collections to update RevenueHunt Product Recommendation Quiz with the latest product collections.
