Any trends in customer's purchasing patterns
W.W. Grainger Inc. says that e-commerce accounted for virtually all of its growth in 2014.
For the year ended Dec. 31, Grainger, which sells maintenance, repair and operations products ranging from janitorial supplies to machine parts, reported:
E-commerce sales increased 16.1% to $3.6 billion from $3.1 billion in 2013. Total sales increased 5.6% to $9.964 billion from $9.437 billion Net earnings jumped 5.7% to $812.3 million compared with $807.7 million in 2013. The web accounted for 36.1% of all sales compared with 32.8% in 2013. E-commerce accounted for 94.3%, or $500 million, of the growth in all sales of $530 million.
The web is becoming a higher priority for Grainger, No. 13 in the Internet Retailer 2014 Top 500 Guide as corporate purchasing managers look to conduct more of their maintenance, repair and operations purchasing online, including via mobile apps, the company says. Grainger’s mobile app accounts for about 40%—$23.4 million—of the company’s 2014 Internet Retailer-estimated mobile commerce sales of $58.5 million. But within two or three years, Grainger’s mobile app, deployed in 2012, could account for 60% to 70% of all mobile sales, the company says.v

MODULE 2 TASK :2
The decision-making process is now a circular journey with four phases: initial consideration; active
evaluation, or the process of researching potential purchases; closure, when consumers buy brands;
and post purchase, when consumers experience themix.
Scenario CDJ specific concerns of Customer
Scenario 1 Initial Consideration Customer is confused with lots of advertisements,
offers and brands. ZMOT is a most confusing stage of
CDJ
Scenario 2 Active Evaluation At this stage buyer already made up his mind to buy
Bosch Power Tools, now his main concern is look for
best offer which Grainer can offer or some other
competitor, here buyer going to compare Grainer with
others key distributors.
Scenario 3 Loyalty Loop Here the customer already using Power Tools but due
to advertisement or better offer he shifts to different
category.
Analysis :-
Scenario 1: Audiences that visit Boschtools.com, look at a power tool (for example a drill), but
do not visit Grainger.com
In this scenario Bosch tools should display an advertisement of Grainger.com on their web
page so that it could attract the buyer and buyer will go Grainger.com for further action. The
advertisement should be catchy to attract buyer’s attention. Boschtools .com can send email
to customer who visits their sites to buy Power tools from Grainger.com. Here traffic analysis
of Boschtools .com is required. his data will help to Build awareness among the power tools
customers.
Scenario 2: Audiences that visit Boschtools.com, look at a power tool, and then visit
Grainger.com, log in to Grainger.com, and visit the power tools category
In this scenario Grainger .com should run some promotion on Bosch Power tools products
like discounts which have time frame like buy now and get 5% off on other power tools
product so it will attract the customer to make purchase as he was just visiting the site and
not making any purchase. This shall push the buyer to take immediate decisions to buy.
Even they can send promotional email to website visitors and ask them to register on
Grainger.com.x
Scenario 3: Audiences that visit Boschtools.com, look at a power tool, and then visit
Grainger.com, log in to Grainger.com, and visit the plumbing category but not power tools
Here it requires to improve the loyalty with existing customer by sending him promotional
email and offers. For that data has to be analyzed, web traffic, items they are looking for ,
purchases they have made . Marketers have long been aware of profound changes in the
way consumers research and buy products. Yet a failure to change the focus of marketing to
match that evolution has undermined the core goal of reaching customers at the moments
that most influence their purchases. The shift in consumer decision making means that
marketers need to adjust their spending and to view the change not as a loss of power over
consumers but as an opportunity to be in the right place at the right time, giving them the
information and support they need to make the right decisionsxi.

Email advertising can be used across all phases in the Customer Decision Journey, carrying different messages to each audience. This message should be relevant to the audience and moreover to the place on which this audience is set. Since Grainger already has the email address of this person, this means two things. 1. That this person is already a customer of Grainger 2. That this person has shown some interest in Grainger products.
Therefore, the audience of the email campaign is either on 1. Post-Purchase Experience 2. Initial Consideration Set To drill down Grainger can filter through its database the customers that bought Bosch tools and so the messages sent to these two audiences should be 1. Voice of Customer (Do the experiences delivered fulfil consumer expectations?) • Consumer Satisfaction • Product Reviews • Relevant Product Offers etc. 2. Loyalty Relationship (Am I part of the initial consideration set?) • New Products • Offers Display Advertising should be used on both Audience Profiles4 Scenario 1: Remarketing from Boschtools lists can be used to show this audience Grainger banner ads and drive them to the website. • Scenario 2: The specific cookie and reference analytics can be used to identify this audience and when they login into the website show them a relevant banner add with new tools or promotional offers. • Scenario 3: Tracking of this audience should be as above and the promotional banners can follow them across all Grainger website. * For all campaigns to be more productive the Bosch power tools landing

Data Collection – Potential Biases: - Biases can arise when inappropriately phrasing and ordering
questions ( questionnaire bias)xiii, allowing preconceived notions to influence how data is evaluated (
interpretation bias) and incorrectly choosing a survey sample to represent a market segment ( sampling
bias). All can be overcome and the one that could have the greatest influence on the actual success of
the marketing strategy is interpretation bias.
Interpretation bias is not likely with descriptive analysis, as it involves the reading of directional data on
customer’s affinity for a brand or product. Directional data that would be the focus of descriptive
analysis would include many of the Key Performance indicators mentioned above, including Click
Through Rate (CTR), Click to open (CTO) Rate, Percent New Visits, Bounce Rate and Applause rate, There
is a greater propensity for interpretation bias with other analytical techniques, particularly the making of
patterns in exploratory analysis, finding casual connections or predicting outcomes from certain known
events. To avoid interpretation bias to influence these analytical techniques, time -tested logic and
reasonableness tests and approved statistical methods should be utilized.
For example, we can make exploratory patterns correlating two or more data points-such as the CTO
rate for an email with a customer testimonial touting Grainger’s brand attributes and a future sale on
Grainger.com reflected in the Conversion Rate. But it is important to recognize that correlation does not
always equal causation. Grainger cannot be absolute certain that a cause and effect relationship exist
between the content marketing contained in the email, the Megaphone of the Monitored social media
feedback, and the desired option, the sale of Bosch Power Tools on Grainger .com. unless we perform a
confirmatory customer survey for verification.

MODULE 3 TASK 3
Data Analysis – Analysis to be performed On the Data Collected and KPIs
Measured
By listening to data points and measuring KPIs, relevant, powerful insights can be
developed the communicated and distributed to Grainger’s target markets of
procurement officers and end Users.xiv To generate relevant, powerful insight,
descriptive, exploratory, casual, inferential and predictive analyses are required.
Many of the data points and KPIs Grainger should measure require descriptive
analysis. For example, analyzing the behavior of clicking in the CTR KPI reveals that
the customer has awareness of the brand. Exploratory analysis takes the descriptive
data and forms patterns of customer activity such as the pattern of a CTO on an email
and a subsequent purchase on ePro. Causal relationship may be deducted from the
exploratory analysis, such as the possibility that adding specific email content brought
about a desired outcome, a sale on Grainger.com. However, this causal connection
must be later verified through survey research. When responses to the customer survey
are received, Grainger can verify the casual relationship and make inferences about the
larger market segment. Then, Predictions can be made about expected behavior of the
market segment – when one variable exists, another variable will soon follow.
Data Analysis – Benchmarks for Data Collected
To Achieve this goal of a 10% increase in sales of Bosch Power Tools on Grainger.
Com , Online customer activity will need to reach certain benchmarksxv
Display Ads- Facebook , Answer.com and Invitation to join Email Registry
The benchmark CTR for display for Google Adwords should be at least.35, the
industry average.xvi This CTR rate is achievable. According to Similar Web site
traffic taken the past three months, Grainger’s actual display CTR for all search
engines is .43.xvii
Based on industry average , Grainger ‘s benchmark CPA for display should be
$34.425 or lower .xviii
Email- Follow Up To Email Registrants Touting Grainger’s Advantages
Using industry average , Grainger ,s benchmark CTO rate for these emails
should be at least 19,19% and the bounce rate .365% or lower .xix
Email -Details On ePro Purchase
For email recipient who have attempted a purchase and abandoned a shopping
cart, the CTO should be 21.52%, Mail Chimps CTO Rate for Retail, and achieve
the median Sales Conversion rate of $28.50
For email recipients who made a past purchase, CTO should be 30%, HubSpots
eCommerce CTO industry average and better than the median Conversion Rate
of $28.50.
Social Media Activity- Email with youtube Video / Invitation To
Ambassadorship
If there are 1.4 million Grainger customers and 19.19% percent open the email, it
is hoped that at least one percent would view the YouTube video.xx
The benchmark number of social media interactions with the post by the social
media ambassador would be 11.4xxi
Data Analysis – Summary of Insights -The 60 Second Story
Grainger will utilize display ads, email content marketing and social media
outreach to attract customers and increase sales. By retargeting display ads at
new customers who visit Boschtools.com , Grainger will convert more customers
and should easily achieves the -35benchmark. Grainger can meet the median
email conversion rate of $28.5 with customers who abandon a shopping cart, and
improve upon that figure with past customers. Since word of mouth advertising
has been shown to cinch new or repeat purchase, this should be also be a
lucrative, marketing strategy for Grainger.
