The challenge: cold traffic activation

BRUNT Workwear faced a common e-commerce challenge: most visitors arrived as cold traffic — anonymous users with no browsing history, no account, and no signals beyond their entry page.

High bounce rates from first-time visitors

Traditional recommendation systems struggled with 'cold start' visitors, defaulting to generic bestsellers.

Low engagement with product recommendations

Static recommendations didn't resonate with visitors who had no established preferences.

Generic upsells that didn't match visitor intent

One-size-fits-all upsells failed to capture the specific needs of each customer.

Missed revenue opportunities from unactivated traffic

Without personalization from the first click, valuable conversion opportunities were lost.

"We needed a way to understand our visitors immediately — not after they create an account or browse 10 pages. Malachyte promised to solve exactly that problem."

"We went from guessing what customers might want to showing them exactly what made sense in the moment. Once we turned on 'Complete the Look,' add-to-cart jumped, and we didn't have to touch rules or keep tweaking things manually."
