User affinity-based filter ordering — Personalization use cases
2026-02-28 18:39 Diff

Designing personalized filters based on user affinity to ease the navigation experience

Who:

A large apparel retailer

Strategy:

To guide users through decision making, the retailer uses a user-affinity strategy to surface the most relevant and personalized filters for each site visitor.

Hypothesis:

When shoppers don’t know what they want quite yet, they turn to a brand’s navigation to begin their journey. However, this can quickly result in frustration, as the process of clicking through category pages and layering in filters can be time-consuming. Instead of forcing the user to start this work from scratch, brands can personalize the navigation experience, surfacing filters according to each user’s unique affinities. Doing so will both decrease the time it takes for the shopper to find products of interest and increase the time to purchase.
