About Empria
Empria is an online store built around a simple, yet powerful mission: to care for the people we love. Originally launched in 2018 as Buy4Baby, a retailer focused on baby products, the brand evolved into Empria—an eCommerce destination dedicated to offering safety, wellness, and comfort solutions for the entire family. From childproofing the home to assisting with elderly care, Empria curates a thoughtful selection of products designed to support every generation.
The Challenge
To elevate the shopping experience and respond to customers’ diverse needs with greater precision, Empria partnered with Aqurate to strengthen their personalization strategy and improve key performance metrics.
-
Personalization capabilities: The existing recommendation setup relied on static, rule-based logic that often failed to surface relevant or timely product suggestions.
-
Conversion performance: Despite consistent traffic, the site was not converting visitors into buyers at the desired rate.
- Purchase behavior: The average size and value of customer baskets had shown little growth, leaving untapped potential for increased order value.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Empria partnered with Aqurate to deploy its advanced personalization platform. Key components of the solution included:
-
AI user behavior analysis: Aqurate’s machine learning models analyzed on-site behavior, browsing history, and transactional data to build dynamic user profiles and product affinities.
-
Contextual product recommendations: Personalized product suggestions were served throughout the user journey - homepage, category pages, product detail pages, and checkout flows.
- Multi-channel orchestration: Recommendations extended to email campaigns and automations using theMarketer, creating a cohesive omnichannel experience.
