Abstract

We explore popularity-based recommendation strategies for e-commerce, using a year of sales logs to evaluate three baselines: most popular, recently popular, and decay popular products. We also propose trend popular products, a novel method that captures emerging preferences by analyzing weekly sales changes. Our evaluation on a subsequent month of orders shows that approaches considering recency or time decay are more effective than simple popularity. The trend-aware method further enhances performance, demonstrating that lightweight, popularity-driven models can offer effective and clear recommendation strategies for e-commerce
