We are proud to introduce features that create world-class experiences and are the perfect fit for retailers looking to help consumers make more sustainable choices.

Build community and engagement with Challenge

Introducing Challenges—your way to gamify any interaction and build engaging experiences. Create journeys with checkpoints and reward any behavior based on healthy decisions, sustainable choices, posting on social media, or engaging in product reviews.

Create immersive journeys and track more interactions

Define the steps your customers should take along their journey. Fill it with fun actions, driving, and rewarding behavior. Each checkpoint leads them on a quest to conquer the challenge.

Set up a review automation
  • For every ten reviews done, award your customers with a discount or reward
Encourage sustainable behavior
  • After five repairs, you donate 10% of the next purchase
Trigger a healthier lifestyle
  • Document every 10K run
  • For ten runs—get a free pair of running socks
  • Complete 100 runs—get a free consultation

Leverage product reviews to engage and capture interactions

We are introducing Interactions when setting up review flows. It makes it easy to capture any customer interaction in reviews and can be used to trigger automation flows to create fantastic customer journeys.

Consumer-sourced product reviews are fantastic for retailers to help customers gain insights about products. Reviews can be much more than asking for a rating.

With Interactions, your data becomes actionable in segmentation and personalization.

  • Create smart segments and target audiences based on their engagement
  • Activate your audience by sharing reviews through all channels
  • Create personalized automation flows that drive engagement and conversion

Pre-loved products customer journeys

With Interactions, retailers can capture and leverage all the interactions in your pre-loved program, beyond the transactions themselves, to create and trigger engaging flows and journeys.

Use the full capabilities of Voyado Engage to ace your customer engagements.

  • Make data available and train store and support staff to act
  • Send relevant and targeted emails and SMS
  • Use for more intelligent bidding in online ads

Many retailers see an opportunity to help customers trade in their previous purchases when they want to buy new products. It may be the ability to hand in a used camera as value when purchasing a new one or selling previous seasons’ fashion pieces. Retailers can set up the process themselves or work with a partner.

Sustainable choices start with easy access to information

Easy access to relevant product information is critical for customers looking to make sustainable choices when deciding which product to buy. And also when they want to understand how to use or care for a previously purchased product. It all starts with having a great search experience for shoppers, enabling them to find exactly what they want. With Voyado Elevate, the AI-powered product discovery engine with personalized site search, that’s an easy task. In fact, some of our customers are seeing an incredible 15% increase in conversions after implementation.

Improved search and autocomplete with Model ID

Introducing: Improved search and autocomplete with Model ID

For products where consumers rely more heavily on looking for a specific product with a model ID, like electronics or appliances, we are introducing improved model ID search and auto-complete. This makes it easier for shoppers to locate a product or a range of products, even with only a partial Model ID. You don’t have to enrich the data in custom fields as a retailer.

Clever filter restrictions

Products you have in your stores today may not be there tomorrow; the models might go out of season or sell out, and therefore no longer be promoted. But—customers who have already bought the product may still want to be able to access the product page with all the valuable use and care information.

With some thinking ahead, you can have a strategy where certain products get filtered out from being displayed in search results but still be available if you have the URL. Voyado Elevate provides the option of using a filter restriction across your site, letting you restrict products that are no longer being sold.

This ensures a customer can still access the product page and get relevant information if the URL was included in the order confirmation, receipt, or product care mail.

Introducing Back-in-stock automation

Back in stock is a fantastic way to manage demand by letting you create engagement and a slight urgency around popular products. Also, you can cleverly set up Back-in-stock flows if you offer rental services for some of your products, or if you sell pre-loved products.

Avoid overstocking

When there is uncertainty about the demand for a product, and there is a risk of overstocking which ends up with unsold products that you need to manage, Back-in-stock can be a great tool.

  • Start with a smaller stock of new products
  • Test the demand and the market first

With the new Back-in-stock automation, you can capture those who have shown interest in the product and automatically win back the opportunities by keeping them informed when the stock level increases. Set it up to be delivered either as a top-of-mind SMS or an email.

Optimize for visitors who need several visits to convert
Consumers often need several visits to the site before deciding on a purchase, sometimes using more than one device. This is true for many purchases but increases as the prices of the product increase. To create a seamless experience and help visitors resume their shopping journeys later or when switching devices–you don’t want them to have to remember what products they most recently viewed or searched for.
