'Fashion Forward' is a fast-growing fashion e-commerce platform with millions of users. Despite accumulating massive amounts of user behavior and transaction data, they faced the challenge of effectively leveraging this data to enhance customer experience and marketing efficiency.
The Challenge
- Inefficient Marketing: Advertising and marketing campaigns lacked targeting, leading to high customer acquisition costs (CAC) and unsatisfactory conversion rates.
- Risk of Customer Churn: An inability to accurately identify at-risk customers led to decreased user stickiness and slow growth in the repeat purchase rate.
- Data Silos: Sales, marketing, and user behavior data were scattered across different systems, making unified analysis difficult and preventing the creation of a complete customer profile.
- Decision-Making Lacked a Data Foundation: Management relied more on experience than data for marketing decisions, resulting in missed market opportunities.
Our Solution
We provided 'Fashion Forward' with a one-stop, intelligent data analytics solution, with the following core steps:
- Data Integration and Governance: We began by integrating the client's various data systems (such as CRM, ERP, and web analytics tools) to establish a unified and clean data lake. This eliminated data silos and laid a solid foundation for subsequent analysis.
- Customer Segmentation and Profiling: Using machine learning algorithms, we performed deep customer segmentation to accurately identify different groups such as High-Value Customers, High-Potential Customers, and At-Risk Customers, generating a 360-degree user profile for each group.
- Personalized Recommendation Engine: Based on user profiles and real-time behavior data, we deployed an advanced personalized recommendation engine for them. This allowed them to recommend the most relevant products to customers on the app homepage, product pages, and in email marketing campaigns.
- Data Visualization Dashboards: We customized real-time BI dashboards for 'Fashion Forward's' operations and management teams. This visualized key metrics (like sales revenue, conversion rates, customer lifetime value, etc.), allowing them to monitor business dynamics and conduct in-depth self-service analysis at any time.
