4 2. RFM Analysis Research Objective: To identify the existing customers who are most likely to respond to a new offer. R, F, and M stand for Recency How recently did the customer purchase? Frequency How often do they purchase? Monetary Value How much do they spend (each time on average)?

5 Number of Customers 2.1. RFM Analysis Recency days ago days ago 8-11 days ago 4-7 days ago last 3 days ago Frequency - One Time Visitors Frequency - Two Time Visitors Frequency - More than two Time Visitors Above Monetary (in dollars)

6 2.2. REFUND BASED ON RFM Number of Customers This is for 22 days data only One Time Visitor Two Time Visitor More Than Two Time Visitor days days 8-11 days 4-7 days last 3 days Most Refunds are happening across one time visitors

7 3. Repurchase Likelihood Model for Complaint Customers Number of Customers Research Objective: To determine the repurchase likelihood of a customer based on the factors which impact on purchase decisions. Status After the complaint Purchased Did not purchase Avearge No. of Transactions before the Complaint Avearge No. of Transactions after the Complaint 50.0% 50.0% % of customers are not purchasing after the complaint 1 Number of Transactions After the Complaint Not Likely Neutral Very Likely Did not buy > Clearly there is a fall in no, of transactions after the complaint Transactional data from to Complaint/Feedback data from to

8 3.1. Repurchasing behavior of complaint customers with the frequency count Not Likely 82% 85% 85% 70% 50% 93% 97% 92% 94% 96% 0.4% % 73% Neutral 89% 85% 95% 83% 91% 96% 96% 48% 0.7% % 71% 80% 84% Very Likely 92% 92% 93% 93% 92% 96% 1% Frequency

9 For customers who have not repurchased post complaint (days) Customers who have done only one transaction are not repurchasing after the complaint (Number of Transactions)

10 For customers who have repurchased post complaint (days) Customers who have done at least two transactions are repurchasing again. Customers in these Segments are spending at least 29$ per transaction with the Frequency of >3 transaction and Recency of <195 days (Number of Transactions)

11 3.3. MODEL RESULTS Statistical Model: Logistic Regression Results: Key Indicators affecting Probability to Repurchase:- Accuracy of the model: 80% 1. Frequency - If a transaction of a customer increases by 1 unit then the likelihood of Repurchasing probability increases by 2 times. 2. Willing to be Contacted - If a customer is 'already in touch with a service agent' then the probability of repurchase increases by 75% compared to 'not in contact with a service agent. 3. Product Received on Time - If a customer receives a product on time' then the probability of repurchase increases by 12% as compared to 'Not received on time. 4. Discount till date - If a customer receives 40%+ discount' then the likelihood of Repurchasing probability increases by 2 times compared No discount. 5. Repurchase Tag Neutral Customers are less likely to repurchase compared to Not likely customers (due to number of transactions are high for Not likely customers) Insight: Customers who have said Not Likely to buy with the more than two transactions before the complaint have re-purchased. Recommendations: Give at least 60% of discount to the customers who have made only 1 transaction and complaint. For one two time purchase customers, offer customized promotional campaigns to increase the transactions count. It will lead to increase the likelihood of repurchase.

12 4. Conversion Analytics Cart & Mobile App Mobile Vs. Website Purchases Saved in cart and Purchased 1.3% 11% Website Mobile Did not Purchase Puchased 98.7% 89% 2013 Nov-Dec Dec There are only 1.3% of customers who have made purchases through Mobile app. There are only 11% of customers who have converted their saved orders in cart to purchases.

14 6. Customer Satisfaction Model Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(> t ) (Intercept) Package quality * Product quality * Value of the packaging & shipping * Value for money of photo User s experience Critical Insights: Product Quality leaves the highest impact on Customer Satisfaction. If a product quality scale increases by 1 unit, the level of overall satisfaction increases by an average of 0.59 Package quality and value of the packaging & shipping are not leaving much impact on the overall satisfaction of the customers.
