The Intent Framework

A new way to segment visitors by their intent.

01
Intent Stage
See where the user is at. The mindset a visitor is in during their shopping journey.
02
Intent Signal
Recognise real-time behavioural clues. What a shopper is doing, and looks likely to do next.
03
Intent Trend
Identify the right moment to intervene. The speed and direction which behaviour is changing.

Based on millions of sessions, 800+ intent signals and being more human in how we sell.

We stand by a strong statement:

*Retailers communicate inappropriately and ineffectively with their customers because they lack context.*

And that鈥檚 because retailers aren鈥檛 listening. They measure key actions that assume where the user is in their purchase journey eg: user visited product page, but it lacks context to be useful.

In ecommerce, because of this website-first measurement, we design our communications and websites for the 2% of customers ready to buy. We treat all customers like they鈥檝e arrived onsite with their cards in their hands.

That aggregated obsession leads to a page template focus, meaning you鈥檙e missing out on what your customers actually want to do. Hitting a product detail page doesn鈥檛 mean they鈥檙e ready to buy; we lose sight and context of what they need because we aren鈥檛 listening to what they鈥檙e telling us.

How do you *actually* understand where your customers are and what they need? And how do you help or intervene appropriately?

Introducing the only way to do that; understand your visitors' intent in real time.

Here's how it works

1. 滨苍迟别苍迟听厂迟补驳别

Intent Stages represent the mindset a visitor is in during their shopping journey. They don鈥檛 tell you what page they鈥檙e on, they tell you how ready they are to buy.

It鈥檚 the difference between 鈥淭hey鈥檙e on the PDP鈥 vs 鈥淭hey鈥檙e deciding whether this is the right product.鈥
Intent Stage
Low
Early-stage browsers with no firm shopping signals
Intent Stage
Building
Showing interest, engaged with the website in some form and showing some level of intent
滨苍迟别苍迟听厂迟补驳别
High
Strong signals of purchase, more than engaged, they鈥檙e showing signs of conviction
Combine that with more context

2. Intent聽Signal

A intent signal is a real-time, current behavioural clue that tells you what a shopper might do next, and what they are doing now.

It looks at current state to predict a future state. It鈥檚 not about where they are on your site. It鈥檚 about how they鈥檙e behaving right now, and what that behaviour suggests.
Purchase Confidence
How confident the visitor is to purchase; their intent to convert (xC)
Readiness to Add to Bag
How ready the visitor is to add to their bag, their intent to add to bag (xATB)
Likelihood to Abandon Session
How likely the visitor is to leave their current session, their intent to exit (xE)
Likelihood to Return
How likely the visitor is to return back to the site in a new session, their intent to return (xR)
Shopper Mindset
Are visitors discovering, considering or not actively shopping?
Product Affinity
The interest someone holds in a specific product(s)
Category Affinity
The interest someone holds in a specific category(s)
Page Affinity
The interest someone holds in a specific page(s) or page type
Then pick your moment

3. Intent聽Trend

A trend is how quickly a shopper鈥檚 behaviour is changing, and in which direction. 聽It鈥檚 the difference between 鈥淭hey鈥檙e warm鈥 and 鈥淭hey鈥檙e heating up fast.鈥

A trend is important because it tells you when you should intervene. At what moment should you respond to an intent signal or mindset.
Intent Trend
Positive
Slight increase, moderate increase or sharp increase
