What are Product/Service Recommendations?

This approach is widely used in e-commerce, subscription services, and entertainment platforms to drive personalized experiences and increase engagement.
Tealium plays a key role in this process by providing real-time data collection and integration capabilities, enabling businesses to build effective AI-powered recommendation pipelines. Tealium streams event and visitor data to a recommendation engine or data warehouse, where AI models are deployed on top of this unified dataset to create contextual and highly personalized recommendations. These pipelines ensure that customers receive contextually relevant suggestions at the right moment across the right channels.
