Ocado personalizes first-visit product listing page for a 5.7% add-to-cart uplift
The problem
Ocado's first-time shopping experience is the longest and most challenging because the company cannot yet know a new customer's preferences, yet must convey the breadth of its 50,000-item catalog before requiring shoppers to create a mandatory account.
