BLAZE ECOM Delivers on AI Product Recommendations for Canadian Cannabis Retailers

POSTED ON February 18, 2025

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning is reshaping the retail landscape, and transforming how consumers shop. To help cannabis retailers in Canada stay ahead of the curve, we are excited to introduce AI Product Recommendations—a revolutionary tool designed to enhance the customer shopping experience while boosting sales and revenue.

Personalized Shopping with AI-Driven Insights

Our advanced recommendation engine utilizes real-time data, analyzing trending products and individual purchase histories to offer tailored product suggestions. These recommendations seamlessly integrate across multiple touchpoints in the buyer’s journey, from browsing product pages to finalizing their cart at checkout. This intelligent upselling approach drives engagement and increases average order values.

And the impact is undeniable.

An in-depth review of high-performing cannabis retailers over the past 60 days revealed:

  • 32% of online orders included AI-recommended products.
  • Orders with AI-driven suggestions had an average order value (AOV) 42% higher than standard orders.
  • Retailers saw an 8% increase in gross merchandise value (GMV), translating to an additional $12,650 per store, per month.

How AI Product Recommendations Elevate the Shopping Experience

Our AI system seamlessly integrates into your e-commerce platform, ensuring customers receive the most relevant product suggestions at key moments throughout their shopping journey. Here’s how it enhances each step:

Featured Product Recommendations

Displayed prominently on your e-commerce homepage, the “Recommended Products section dynamically generates personalized product suggestions based on each customer’s browsing behavior and purchase history. This feature fosters product discovery and encourages larger cart sizes.

Enhance the Cart with Complementary Items

Before customers checkout, the Complement Your Cart” feature presents lower-priced add-on products to encourage impulse spending while keeping them on track to complete their order. By identifying complementary items, AI helps customers make more informed choices while increasing order values.

Maximize Upsell Opportunities at Checkout

Our AI-powered In Case You Missed It cart toppers suggest last-minute additions at checkout based on customer preferences. This final opportunity to upsell boosts revenue without disrupting the checkout flow, ensuring a smooth shopping experience.
