Yes—if you’re asking whether you should use recommendations in email campaigns and cart recovery, the answer is usually yes.
Why recommendations help there
- Email campaigns: Personalized product recommendations can improve click-through and conversion rates by showing relevant items instead of generic promos.
- Cart recovery: Recommending complementary or similar products can help recover lost sales, especially if the original cart item is out of stock, too expensive, or the shopper needs a nudge.
When you might not need them
You may skip recommendations if:
- Your emails are purely brand/newsletter content
- Your cart recovery emails are very simple and focus only on the abandoned item + checkout link
- You have very low product variety or recommendations wouldn’t add much value
Best practice
A strong setup is:
- Abandoned cart email: show the abandoned item first, then 1–3 recommended alternatives or complementary products
- Campaign emails: use personalized recommendations based on browsing, purchase history, or best sellers
