This increases customers’ familiarity with the range of products on the site, increases sales and draws the user’s attention even to those products that were not the primary purpose of the purchase.”“Salesforce Einstein helps automate the selection of products and goods, depending on the context:
- previously viewed products
- products similar to the ones we are viewing now
