Mixed Strategy

The Mixed Strategy algorithm creates a customized and mixed recommendation strategy using different recommendation types. It is a way of using different algorithms for each slot of the Recommendation Widget. The mixed strategy allows you to use multiple algorithms in a single recommendation widget on your website. It works best on the main and category pages.
