And yet I still get emails from Amazon trying to sell me products I just bought.
Bought a hygrometer earlier in the week, delivered yesterday, email today about hygrometers.
Maybe they have data showing that converts well.
- baxtr 7y agoMy feeling: amazon is great in applying ML in the back, e.g. warehouse replenishments, but not so great in the customer facing applications. Only my view from outside
- areoform 7y agoActually, they do! This is a frequent misunderstanding, but buyer's remorse is a common thing and a lot of folks return the items that they've bought because they're unsatisfied with it. Even if it is 5% of all customers, the numbers will add up really fast for Amazon. It's quite clever if you look at it from an aggregate perspective. They're casting a wider, second net to catch the fish who slip through.
- mynegation 7y agoI bought a hygrometer to test on one plant, works well, going to buy some more (actual situation). I may not need more than one trimmer but with high probability Amazons algorithms know that some products are bought more than once.
