Just try to remember, how many times have you considered buying one more product while purchasing something else. Like the other day, I was purchasing a T-shirt while the website recommended multiple shorts and jeans. Since I was purchasing a T-shirt, I was compelled to buy the shorts. That is how product recommendations work. It influences customer behaviour and eventually increases sales.
