What we set out to achieve • Identify customer value and potential • To protect spend in Boots. • To steal share from competitors. • Change their behaviour • Identify the key behaviour triggers that influence spend. • Hard triggers - collect and redeem points, distance from store and store type, make up of family etc. • Soft triggers - attitudes to health and fitness, dieting etc. • Use the wealth of data in Boots to support a range of business planning functions.
The vision Score Ad Card customers and put into three groups for communications Protect & develop Steal share Suppress manage
Current value by category Propensity to change Value to market by category The vision Demographics: Database/ External sources Geography Taken from Ad Card database down to category Boots shopping behaviour- what, when, value • Attitudes: TGI • attitudes to health and • fitness • attitudes to personal • appearance/care • attitudes to environment • attitudes to shopping/ • brands • - attitudes to eating Based on 1,400 exit poll. Works at category level. Need more detail to go down to concept level - TGI overlay
The vision Every customer is given a score Value to Boots Propensity to change Value to market + + Scores are calculated at concept group level Profit by product Steal Protect Maximum flexibility for targeting/offer to stimulate change at a micro level
How? • The Boots Database contains over 14 million individuals, with details of every transaction for the last 2 years • This amount of data cannot be modelled, analysed or even held easily anywhere • In order to even start looking at overlaying a model a 5% sample had to be extracted and sent to a specialist analytical company
What? • A model was needed to identify who had the potential to buy specific products. • Past transactional behaviour is by far the best way to ascertain this • The analytics company took all data and monitored trends on • purchasing patterns within concept groups • demographic profiles • number of purchases • average time between repeat purchases • average spend • etc
The Result - A Summary • Two models were produced • This is based on likelihood to buy plus potential to spend • Used together they ensure best response/sales rates • This means increase in sales for Boots • Plus they ensure the best ROI is generated for the supplier
Affinity Model Tertiary Secondary Primary Hot Prospects Warm Prospects Coolest Prospects
Primary Affinity • Customers who have directly bought the promoted product in the past 12 months, ranked by frequency and total spend
Secondary Affinity • Customers who have NOT bought promoted product but have bought associated products in the past 12 months
Age Tertiary Affinity • Customers who have a similar profile to the peer group of the product e.g 25-40 Gender e.g female Segment e.g Cosmopolitan Mosaic e.g stylish singles Lookalikes
Share of Wallet Model 2 example customers SOW for Dove Shampoo Customer X SOW = 50% Previous spend =£9.60 (High Water Mark) Current Spend = £4.80 - Customer Y Current Spend = £1.60 SOW = 33% Little previous spend, so Peer Group Average = £4.60 -
The Model used in Value Mailings • Offers are tailored to the individual based on their past transactions • Each person gets a score for every offer available, with the top 8 products defined as their most suitable being selected • This allows communications to be centred around ‘offers we know you like and some you want to try’
Finding offers • 20 million coupons were required for first mailing • Plus additional funding (to top up Boots budgets) • Targeted both Boots Category teams and Suppliers • Then cajoled, persuaded and bullied • The result - we generated 56 different offers for the first Value mailing
The Process of Value Mailings Step 1 • All Offers, approx 60+ per value mailing are matched to the entire Boots Database • The prime target audience is then identified, ie those who have the highest affinity to the offers available
The Process of Value Mailings Step 2 8 • The selected universe is then given a score for every offer available, based on the likelihood of them purchasing • This produces millions of stats, which then need to be optimized and ranked • To produce the top 8 offers for EVERY PERSON
The Personalisation of Value Mailings • The essence of Value is that each person gets offers applicable to them • To coincide with this, the rest of the mailing was personalised to produce a mailing tailored to each individual • The personalised information includes: • Number of points available • Number of redeemed points in the last 12 months • Favourite store to shop in • Total Value of coupons • Total points available on promotion • Redemption ideas based on number of points
