Product recommendations on Product Detail Pages
Product recommendations are used in order to simplify the appearance of specific items for consumers on product detail pages.

Additionally, the recommendations from social platforms such as Pinterest, convince the users to navigate the website and discover the best product that fits their needs.
Implement simple navigation
From time to time, a consumer reaches a PDP through search and finds that the item doesn’t meet their original requirements or they wish to explore other products. Brands should build easy navigation that points back to the main category.Moreover, if a category banner is added on top of the product page, the user will easily be able to reach the category page that contains that particular product.
Keep focused while using value-adding popups on PDPs
It is no secret that as a customer while doing the shopping you can easily get distracted. As you are checking related items on mobile, IPad or desktop version. Since COVID-19 started, there are a lot of alerts on the Internet and it is more difficult to keep focused while you are browsing a website or wanting to buy something online.As a brand, you should consider managing exit-intent popups, in order to diminish the possibility of bounce rate. You might ask yourself: what is an exit-intent pop-up? This is an overlay that is not showing a certain section of a website’s page. Frequently, the exit pop-ups can highlight specific promotions that a website has or essential updates regarding Coronavirus, like delivery time interval and working hours.
Grant the users the possibility of adding products in a wish list via Product Detail Pages
Most of the consumers are at this moment working from home or organizing their time post-lockdown. The best strategy to make customers return to a website is by giving them the chance of adding items to a wish list.
Creating wish lists and providing fast access to them means they can quickly add to their shopping cart for fast checkout.
Wishlists are also effective tools for getting new subscribers, which can be nurtured through different channels such as emails.

Moreover, by providing easy navigation for the users back to the main category, users can easily find what they are searching for.
