Because App Content Types: The Full Deets

Are you ready to elevate your Shopify store with dynamic personalization? The Because app allows you to easily add or replace content across various parts of your site, including the homepage, product pages, collection pages, and cart. This guide will walk you through the different types of content you can use to create a truly personalized shopping experience for your customers.

Content Types Supported by Because

Here’s an overview of the versatile content types you can use with Because to enhance your pre-purchase journey:

1. Text Blocks

• Overview: Text blocks are highly flexible and can be used as subheaders, product descriptions, or paragraph text. They automatically inherit your site’s fonts, colors, and padding, ensuring a seamless look and feel.
  
  

• Use Case: Use text blocks to add additional information or highlight key product features without disrupting the design of your site.
  
  

2. Banners

• Overview: Banners are like text blocks but with customizable containers. You can adjust background colors, add icons from the Because library, or upload your own.
  
  

• Use Case: Ideal for highlighting promotions, sales, or special offers across your site. Banners draw attention while maintaining a cohesive design.
  
  

3. Badges

• Overview: Replace generic Shopify theme badges with more personalized and customizable options. Badges can be used for AB testing and tailored to fit any product or promotion.
  
  

• Use Case: Perfect for labeling products as “low stock,” “bestseller,” or highlighting new arrivals.

4. Top Bars

• Overview: Top bars provide dynamic messaging based on customer lifecycle stage, interests, or shopping behavior. Triggered by Klaviyo data, these bars can be displayed site-wide or on specific pages.
  
  

• Use Case: Use top bars to greet new visitors, announce site-wide promotions, or highlight free shipping offers based on user behavior.
  
  

5. Image Replacement

• Overview: Swap out existing images on your site with dynamic, personalized visuals that resonate more with your audience.
• Use Case: Ideal for tailoring product images based on user demographics, previous purchases, or promotional events.

6. Product Recommendations

• Overview: Unlike Shopify’s native “You May Also Like” feature, Because’s product recommendations are dynamically triggered through Klaviyo data, allowing for more personalized suggestions.
  
  

• Use Case: Provide targeted product suggestions that are more likely to convert by leveraging user data like past purchases or browsing behavior.
  
  

Tips for Success

• Consistency is Key: Ensure that all dynamic content blends seamlessly with your existing site design to avoid a disjointed user experience.
• Test and Optimize: Use A/B testing with banners and badges to find the most effective messaging and design.
• Leverage Data: Utilize Klaviyo’s rich customer data to trigger the most relevant content for each user.
