About

BrightMinds is the brainchild of science teacher Alison Quill, who left teaching because she felt stifled by the National Curriculum. “It became teaching by recipe,” she explains, “but I wanted to set off that spark in children’s minds”. BrightMinds is on a mission to inspire kids to be curious about the world around them and encourage creativity in a fun way. BrightMinds is based in the UK and sells toys and kids books from 1999.

The machine learning of InstantSearch+ that powers the personalization, merchandising, and recommendation across our site is an order of magnitude better than Shopify’s or other search providers we’ve tried. I also have to say that the tech support team is fantastic.

Merchandising as a key to optimization

By providing such an experience, based on the shopping history, demographics, and personal preference of the customer, BrightMinds conversion rate for personalised shoppers is over 25%. Shoppers not only get extremely relevant information which helps them purchase, but they also purchase additional products.

Results

People are actually finding what they are looking for, and it is presented in a way that they can filter. I love the fact that shoppers can filter however they want, by age, rating, price etc. that’s a feature that is not common to find.
