Simple steps to get you started with Data Analytics
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
Collect Data about your CustomerWhat to collect? • Contact information (name, email, mobile)
• Demographic indicators such as age, gender, address, marital status.
• Behavioral indicators such as purchase preferences, preferred medium of communication & brand engagement, etc.
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
Collect Data about your CustomerWhere to collect?
• Website• Social media• Landing pages• In-store tablets• Marketing tools capturing user behavior
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
Clean up the Data
• Remove duplicate data
• Ensure consistency in formatting of the data• Age is defined in same units – years/months• Gender is Male/Female across the file
• Update missing data• Contact customer and get missing information• Find similar profiles in your database and estimate
• Analyze outlier data separately
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
Precautions while cleaning up data
•Do not use average/median values to fill empty spaces
•Personal Biases to fill missing data can result in significant errors
•Do not run math operations on abstract data- Abstract data such as City names (Mumbai, Hyderabad,
Bangalore) are assigned numbers 1,2,3 and then averaging may reveal 2 as the most common city. (Huge mistake in analysis)

Easy & Effective Analytical techniques
•RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary)Will help you identify your best customers
•LTVC (Life Time Value of a Customer)Will help you evaluate customer cost of acquisition
•Segmentation & ClusteringWill help you run targeted marketing campaigns

RFM(Recency, Frequency, Monetary)
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
What is RFM?RFM analysis is a marketing technique used to determine your best customers quantitatively by using information about: • Recency - How recent was the purchase• Frequency - How often does the customer purchase • Monetary - How much has the customer spent
Source: http://searchdatamanagement.techtarget.com/definition/RFM-analysis
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
How can RFM benefit you?
80% of your business comes from 20% of your customers
your most important customers more
accurately
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
How can you run RFM?
Using RFM analysis
Step 1: Assign your customers a ranking number of 1,2,3,4, or 5 (with 5 being highest) for each RFM parameter.
Step 2: The three scores together are referred to as an RFM "cell" .
Step 3: The database is sorted to determine which customers were "the best customers" in the past, with a cell ranking of "555" being ideal.
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
How can you run RFM?
Example:
Let’s say you own a clothing store and have been in business for a year.
Some of your customers have bought from the store on 10 occasions in the year while some have bought only once.
Total amount spent by each customer ranges from $100 to $5000.
Let’s assume you had sales every day in this last year.
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
RFM Step 1 - Rank Customers
We need to rank individuals for the individual metrics of Recency, Frequency & Monetary. For the example considered, the following ranking mechanism could work:
Recency Ranking
Recency (Days since last purchase)
5 70 days
4 71 - 140 days
3 141 - 210 days
2 211- 280 days
1 281 - 365 days
Frequency Ranking
Frequency (number of purchases)
5 more than 8 times
4 5-7 times
3 3-4 times
2 2 times
1 once
Monetary Ranking
Monetary (amount spent)
5 more than $ 4000
4 $ 3000 - $3999
3 $ 2000 - $2999
2 $1000 - $1999
1 less than $1000
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
RFM Step 2 – Generate RFM ScoreUsing the scoring system used in the previous slide, we can generate the RFM Cell Score for all the customers. Customer Information
RFM Cell ScoreRecency
(Days since last purchase)
Frequency Monetary
555 45 days 10 times $4500
451 123 days 9 times $950
324 156 days 2 times $3600
232 250 days 4 times $1650
111 350 days once $500
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
RFM Step 3 – Identify Top Customers
We need to sort the RFM Cell Score for all the customers
Customers with RFM score as 555 are your best customers while those with 111 are the least desirable customers
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
How can you use the RFM Results? Reach out to your best customers and
make them feel special
Make them your brand ambassadors
Align your marketing expenses better
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
Common mistakes in using RFM Results
Do not over-solicit high ranking customers.
Low ranking customers should not be neglected. Concerted efforts should be made to nurture these customers and make them loyal

LTVC(Life Time Value of a Customer)
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
What is LTVC?
LTVC (Lifetime value of your customer) is a great way to identify how much value your customer will bring to you over his/her lifetime.
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
How can LTVC benefit you? Determining the right amount of money to
invest in acquiring a customer
Analyze customer acquisition strategy and solidify your marketing budget
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
Calculating LTVC – Step 1Lets take an example
You are a coffee shop owner and have 100 customers visit you every week. Most customers are regulars and visit you 5 times a week. On every visit, they spend about $3.
Source: http://josephratliff.com/blog/calculating-lifetime-value-of-the-customer/
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
Calculating LTVC – Step 2
Let’s make the following assumptions: On an average, these individuals will
remain coffee consumers for 12 years. 80% of the customers will repurchase from
you in the following year. You make 20% profit margin on every
customer visit Rate of Inflation is about 10%
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
Calculating LTVC – Step 3
As can be seen from Appendix 1, simple calculations can help you determine the Lifetime value of your customers
LTVC has been calculated as $4992 per customer in this example
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
Using LTVC Results & Refining it As long as the LTVC > Customer cost of
acquisition, your marketing expense in acquiring the customer was well spent
All your customers are not the same! Repeat the exercise for different groups/segments of your customers to get even better results from LTVC
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
Segmentation & Clustering
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
What is Segmentation & Clustering?
Customer Segmentation is the subdivision of a market into discrete customer groups that share similar characteristics
Clustering is putting together these similar individuals to target them better and scalably
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
How can Segmentation benefit you?
Segmenting allows you to predict behavior of new customers by simply categorizing them into a particular cluster
This helps you run targeted marketing and service activities helping you increase your ROI significantly
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
How can you cluster and segment? Pick different criteria like age, gender,
education, spending patterns, communication preferences, etc. to segment the customers
Your clustering results depend directly on your creativity in picking the right parameters and the amount of data you collect about your customer
Tools like ME-XL, SPSS, JMP, SAS are relatively low cost and work very well in converting the data into tangible results
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
Example - Clusters using Age, Income & Recency
Copyright: Canvass 2013-2016
Have you done a good job?Identifiability
Are you able to easily differentiate between segments
Substantiality Are your clusters big enough
Accessibility Are you able to reach your customers
Stability Will these clusters remain stable with time
Actionable Are the segments helping with marketing direction

Appendix 1: Calculating LTVCAverage revenue per customer over the 12 years52 weeks * 5 visits/wk * $ 3/ visit * 12 years= $9360
Average profit per customer over the 12 years20% profit margin * Avg. Revenue per customer/yr =
$1872
LTVC Avg. profit/customer * (80% retention rate) / (1+10%inflation-
80%retention rate)= 1872*0.8/(1+0.1-0.8) = $4992
