Personalization scenarios

Pick a stage of the customer journey in the filter above to leave only the relevant scenarios in the table. Every scenario comes with targeting, the type of mechanic, display conditions and the expected result.

Scenario	Personalization goal	Targeting	Type	Where and when	Expected result
01Resume the apartment searchOn the home page we bring the visitor back to the developments, buildings, floor plans and apartments they have already viewed.	Shorten the path back to the unit and raise the share of inquiries after a return visit.	Returning users who viewed apartment or development pages in the last 1–14 days without an inquiry or a reservation.	Recommendation block	Home page, first screen or the block under the main offer. Show on a return visit and hide after an inquiry.	↗ 4–9% repeat clicks through to unit pages↗ 1–3% inquiries from return visitsBenchmark: resuming a personal search usually works best for products with a long consideration cycle.
02Banner tuned to the neighborhood or developmentThe main banner adapts to the neighborhood, project, completion date or property class the visitor explored earlier.	Raise the click-through rate of the promo block and move the visitor into the relevant catalog faster.	Users who viewed development pages, neighborhoods, completion-date selections or clicked promo blocks.	Personalized banner	Home page and project pages. Refresh after the first clear signal of interest in a neighborhood or a development.	↗ 5–12% banner CTR↗ 2–5% clicks into the apartment catalogBenchmark: a personalized promo block pays off most when the visitor already has a location or project preference.
03Quick entry by purchase goalWe show separate paths: to live in, to buy for the family, to invest, to purchase through a company, to find a home for an employee.	Send the visitor straight into the right search path instead of making them work through the whole catalog by hand.	New users with no history, plus visitors with scattered views across several developments or unit types.	Navigation block	Home page below the first screen. On a return visit, preselect the most likely goal from behavior.	↗ 3–7% clicks into relevant selections↘ 3–6% exits from the home pageBenchmark: goal-based navigation lowers the choice load in complex catalogs.
04Saved search parametersIn the catalog we pre-fill the previous parameters: number of rooms, budget, neighborhood, completion date, floor area and finish.	Speed up a repeat search and increase browsing depth across matching units.	Users who applied filters or opened several apartments with similar characteristics.	Personalized filters	Apartment catalog above the results. Show it as a hint with an option to reset the parameters.	↗ 4–10% unit page views from the catalog↗ 1–3% inquiries after a searchBenchmark: keeping the context helps most in the long real-estate consideration cycle.
05Selections by life scenarioWe show quick selections: for a family, near a school, with a finished interior, with a home office, with a large kitchen, with a view.	Turn dry apartment specs into buying motives people recognize.	Users with a broad search, many views without an inquiry or frequent filter changes.	Selection chips	Apartment catalog, development page and search. Show once the catalog opens or after the second filter change.	↗ 3–8% clicks on units↘ 4–8% bounces after filteringBenchmark: selections built around buyer jobs usually raise engagement without discount pressure.
06Apartments in a similar budgetIf a visitor keeps viewing apartments in one price range, the catalog ranks up units with a similar total price and monthly payment.	Stop losing visitors on options that are too expensive or irrelevant.	Visitors with 2+ apartment views in a similar budget or with a price filter applied.	Personalized sorting	Catalog and the similar-apartments block. Enable only for units currently on sale.	↗ 4–9% views of relevant unit pages↗ 1–3% calls and inquiriesBenchmark: price relevance cuts wasted views and speeds up contact with the sales team.
07Alternatives after a zero-results searchIf the filters return no matching apartments, we offer the closest alternatives: a neighboring development, another floor, a later completion date or a similar budget.	Keep the demand and hold on to the visitor after an unsuccessful search.	Users with zero or weak results, and those leaving the catalog after filtering.	Message + selection	Catalog, right after the filters are applied. On a second unsuccessful search, offer a call with a consultant.	↘ 8–15% exits after an empty result set↗ 2–5% clicks through to alternative unitsBenchmark: soft alternatives help when the exact unit is no longer on sale.
08Next best action on the apartment pageOn the unit page we adapt the call to action: call, message the sales team, reserve, calculate a mortgage or book a visit to the sales office.	Raise the chance of a target action without loading the page with extra buttons.	Users on an apartment page, taking into account device, traffic source, whether the visit is a repeat one and browsing depth.	Personalized CTA	Apartment page next to the price and the contact form. Switch the action after 20 seconds on the page or on a return visit.	↗ 3–8% calls, messages and inquiries from the unit pageBenchmark: a single main next step usually lifts conversion on the page of a complex product.

Keep the interest alive when a particular apartment does not fit on price, floor or layout.	Visitors with a long time on the unit page, a return to the unit or moves between similar apartments.	Recommendation block	Apartment page under the floor plan and next to the price block. Show only available options.	↘ 5–10% exits from the unit page↗ 3–7% views of alternative apartmentsBenchmark: similar units help keep demand inside the project.

Remove the key doubts before a call or an inquiry.	Users who open the documents, purchase terms or construction progress tabs, or spend a long time on the development page.	Micro-message	Apartment and development pages. Show after 15–30 seconds or once the visitor moves into the more demanding sections.	↗ 1–4% contact actions↘ 3–7% exits after reviewing the termsBenchmark: personalized proof works harder where the decision is expensive and needs trust.

Catch the hesitation before the visitor leaves and turn a hard choice into a conversation with the sales team.	Users with 3+ apartment views, a repeat view of the same unit page or inactivity on the page.	Consultation widget	Apartment page, comparison view, development page.

Stop loading a cash buyer with mortgage messages and get them to contact faster.	Users who ignore mortgage blocks, view expensive units or open the documents and deal terms.	Info block	Unit page, purchase section, inquiry form. Show from the second visit or after the payment terms are viewed.	↗ 2–5% requests for a consultation on the deal↗ 1–2% reservations in the warm segmentBenchmark: splitting the mortgage and cash scenarios makes the offer more precise.

Message	Apartment page and the similar-units block. Show no more than once a day and hide after an inquiry.	↗ 2–6% reservation clicks and calls about a specific apartmentBenchmark: scarcity and holding a unit work better once the apartment is already chosen.
