There are many online shopping sites where users become frustrated - they can't find what they want, get bored, or simply fail to complete a purchase. Retailers would be happy to help out such customers, if only they knew which ones were most likely to benefit.

Incentives could be discounts, pop-ups or contextual product recommendations.
