Pathways

Pathways use the Bloomreach Intelligent Index to drive definite business goals. These pathways widgets can be placed on any page on your website and can be custom created to bring the attention of your customers to the desired products to allow the maximum focus on specific business goals like brand promotion, margins, sales/campaigns etc

Independently curated widgets

Pathways allow business users to create and curate product widgets powered by the Bloomreach Intelligent Index without affecting your Site Search or Merchandising behaviour. Users can create and use widgets for various use cases, including the following:


Widget type	Description
New Arrivals	Highlight new arrivals
Brand Highlight	Promote products of a specific brand, such as your own or a sponsored brand
Excess Inventory	Promote products that need to be moved quickly due to excess inventory
On Sale	Highlight products that are on sale
Recipe pages	For food recipes, displays products that are ingredients to that recipe
Curated widget	Display a custom group of products, manually selected
Category widget	Display a given category of products
