How Accurate Litter Records Influence TellTail’s Matching Algorithm
When it comes to the algorithm-driven buyer matching process on platforms like TellTail, maintaining precise and up-to-date litter records is paramount.
This article aims to delve into the significance of accurate litter records and how they directly influence the algorithm-driven buyer matching process, ultimately benefiting both breeders and potential buyers.
Streamlining the buyer matching process
The algorithm-driven buyer matching process relies on accurate litter records to efficiently pair prospective buyers with breeders who meet their specific requirements.
When breeders maintain accurate and detailed information about their litters, including current, expected, and planned litters, the algorithm can effectively assess the compatibility between breeders and potential buyers. This streamlines the matching process, saving time for both parties involved.
What is a “current litter?”
A current litter is a litter that has already been born and that has available puppies.
Remember: Be sure to stop accepting leads for current litters with no available puppies.
What is an “expected litter?”
An expected litter is a litter that has an anticipated due date based on a confirmed pregnancy.
We recommend choosing a go-home date for your expected litters that is eight weeks away from the litter’s anticipated arrival.
We understand that sometimes plans don’t work out and litters do not arrive as expected. If you collect leads for this expected litter & plans change, simply let your buyers know what the next steps are.
What is a “planned litter?”
A planned litter is a litter that a breeder is planning for the future.
Planned litters do not have anticipated due dates because a breeding has not taken place yet. Yes, you can collect leads on litters that you are hoping to have in the future!
We recommend choosing a go-home date for your planned litters that is close to the litter’s planned arrival.
We understand that sometimes plans don’t work out and litters do not arrive as expected. If you collect leads for this expected litter & plans change, simply let your buyers know what the next steps are.
Ensure accurate litter information
Breeders enable the algorithm to make precise matches based on the information they provide for each litter.
Provide the most accurate information possible for each section of your litter information including:
Breed of litter
Expected size of the puppies as adults
Estimated go-home date of the puppies
Price range for puppies in the litter
Indicate whether or not you allow your puppies to be transported by a commercial service outside of your local area (flight nanny, ground shipping, etc.)
Indicate whether or not your purchase prices are flexibled
💡 Buyers cannot see your litter information. For example, buyers will not be notified if you indicate that your prices are flexible. However, this information allows our algorithm to make more tailored matches.
Conclusion
Accurate litter records are invaluable in the algorithm-driven buyer matching process on platforms like TellTail. Breeders who maintain accurate and up-to-date litter records significantly increase their chances of connecting with potential buyers who are genuinely interested in their program.
By streamlining the matching process, facilitating precise breed selection, ensuring availability and timeliness, promoting transparency and trust, and enhancing the overall experience, accurate litter records serve as a cornerstone for successful breeder-buyer interactions.
Breeders who prioritize accurate record-keeping will undoubtedly elevate their position in the algorithm-driven buyer-matching process, leading to fruitful connections and long-lasting relationships with responsible and dedicated pet owners.
