Kibo Delivers Fully Integrated Personalization Strategy With Personalized Search

Kibo, the leader in unified commerce, today announced that Personalized Search is now available. Kibo Personalized Search is the latest personalization feature to further bring Monetate and Certona capabilities into the Kibo platform, giving companies the power to deliver a fully integrated personalization strategy, from browse and discovery, through to re-engagement.

“Our clients are increasingly invested in personalization across customer touchpoints, from commerce to marketing. We often turn to Kibo’s personalization products for ease of use and best-in-class functionality, and Personalized Search is another great tool from Kibo,” said Sara Meza, SVP of eCommerce, PeakActivity, a digital consulting and implementation company specializing in eCommerce, Digital Marketing and Technology solutions.

A study from Forrester Research found that 43% of site visitors immediately go to a search box when on-site, and those searchers are two to three times more likely to convert than other visitors. Kibo clients can now deliver search as part of a holistic personalization strategy, with access to a set of powerful yet flexible levers to improve results, and more control over one of the most valuable elements of a website.

Personalized Search delivers a set of powerful search capabilities covering the browse and discovery journey:

• Personalized Site Search: Provides hyper-relevant search results leveraging the power of Monetate and Certona
• Personalized Category Pages: Provides personalized product listings on category or subcategory pages
• Predictive Visual Search: Enables instant recommendation results for as-you-type, partial, or full-search terms
