Business Benefits and Insights
With a keen eye on helping a leading retailer improve sales and retain customers, Quantzig’s analytics team developed a next best action solution to gain an in-depth understanding of what products are most suitable for individual customers. The customer analytics team identified the right campaign/channel for each customer stage based on the association between marketing response and marketing efforts and provided metrics and analysis for customer footfall by weekend and weekday. The engagement increased the marketing response by 2x due to the implementation of a targeted marketing strategy. The study focused on the propensity of a customer to respond to unique marketing activities and the likelihood of a customer to purchase particular products.
The client was able to gain descriptive insights into customer demographics such as age segment, income group, marketing response index, and promotion usage percent and associated customer behavior such as average revenue generated. During the customer analytics engagement, the team analyzed purchase behavior at the segment and individual customer level to identify customer needs and interests appropriately. To improve targeting strategy, the team identified customer response to marketing campaigns and promotions. Customer analytics strategies were developed by classifying loyal and satisfied customers based on NPS, longevity, and purchase behavior. Due to the lack of information about new products, the majority of customers were dissatisfied, which led the team to analyze the social chatter to get a better understanding of the brand perception and product feedback.
