Search Recommendations with DotDigital

dotdigital is one of the world’s leading and fastest growing platforms in email marketing and marketing automation. Combining Klevu’s ability to produce relevant suggestions with dotdigital’s ability to produce highly effective marketing emails and workflows, we believe we can significantly improve the effectiveness of our customers’ email marketing efforts.

If a merchant is utilising both dotdigital (for email marketing) and Klevu (for site search), they’re able to integrate product suggestions, based on what users have searched, directly into their marketing emails.
