Overview

An AI Hero Offer is a site-wide, homepage offer that uses shopping behavior to determine which visitors see it. More engaged visitors are more likely to receive the offer, making it a powerful way to capture high-intent leads.

Key Features of AI Hero Offers

  • Homepage placement: Fires on the homepage when no more specific category or page offer is available.

  • Behavior-based targeting: Uses AI to increase the likelihood that more interested visitors see the offer.

  • Geographic controls: Can be filtered to display only in certain geographies.

  • Exclusivity: Will not appear in emails or direct mail campaigns.

  • Conversion flexibility: Existing offers can be converted into AI Hero Offers.

  • One active at a time: To avoid conflicts, only one AI Hero Offer should be live.

  • User experience: The offer slides down the page as visitors scroll.

  • Compliance ready: Uses existing claim forms and disclaimers.

When to Use AI Hero Offers

AI Hero Offers are most effective when:

  • You want a catch-all offer that fires on the homepage to capture general traffic.

  • You need a dynamic offer that adjusts based on shopper engagement.

  • You want to ensure visitors always see an offer, even if no product- or category-specific offer is available.
