We will use a company's sample customer data to analyze and draw conclusions using research methods over a selected period of time. CHAPTER 1: THEORETICAL BACKGROUND AND RELATED WORK Chapter 1 sets the conceptual foundation concentrating on consumer segmentation, the LRFM model, and numerous approaches and algorithms used by other research teams. Furthermore, pertinent research’ recommendations, methodologies, and limitations are provided. CHAPTER 2: METHODOLOGY The second chapter provided a clear framework for researching the research topics by outlining the study design, data gathering methods, and analytical approaches.
Introducing the LRFM models that will be used to drive data analysis, establishing the groundwork for later chapters. CHAPTER 3: DATA UNDERSTANDING AND PREPARATION The structure of the dataset is examined along with the important variables and their connections. It then highlights the critical process of data cleaning and preprocessing in order to ensure data quality and dependability. CHAPTER 4: EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS Applying the K-means algorithm to a normalized dataset using the LRFM model aims to identify distinct customer clusters.
Subsequent analysis of these clusters will inform strategic labeling, enabling the development of targeted marketing campaigns for the company. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK In the competitive retail sector, our research identifies high-value customers using surveys and Python analysis with the LRFM model and K-means method. This approach offers a framework for effective, customer-centric strategies. However, limitations include dataset representativeness, sensitivity in K-means clustering, and challenges in achieving stable segmentation despite normalization efforts.
10 ABSTRACT Targeting the right customers has always been a key strategy in increasing profit. Adventure Works retail company is no different. To ensure that its differentiated marketing strategies keep up with the appropriate segments of customers, this research was conducted.253 records with 15 characteristics regarding Sales Data was collected. This study proposes a customer loyalty segmentation in a retailer context, wherein the clustering is performed using the Length- Recency-Frequency-Monetary (LRFM) model and the integration of the K-means method.
In the end, six clusters were found, but only five of them allowed positive Loyalty Status assessment, labeled as: Original Extreme Loyal Customers, Original Moderate Loyal Customers, New Extreme Loyal Customers, All-Time Extreme Loyal Customers, All-Time Loyal Customers. This clustering results yielded a Silhouette Coefficient score of 0,837. Derived from the results of this segmentation, Adventure Works can strategically deliver tailored marketing to their clients, gradually boost its customer relations. Keywords: LRFM model; K-means clustering; Elbow method; Silhouette score; customer segmentation; customer loyalty; marketing; retail industry.
11 ABSTRACT Việc nhắm đến đúng đối tượng khách hàng luôn là chiến lược quan trọng đề tăng cường lợi nhuận, và công ty bán lẻ Adventure Works cũng không nằm ngoài quy luật. Đề đảm bảo chiến lược tiếp thị phân khúc hóa của công ty được truyền tới các phân đoạn khách hàng thích hợp, nghiên cứu này đã được tiễn hành. Một tập dữ liệu từ năm 2017 - 2020 với 121.253 bản ghi và 15 đặc điểm liên quan đến Dữ liệu Bán hàng đã được thu thập. Nhóm nghiên cứu sau đó đã phân khúc hóa cấp độ trung thành của khách hàng trong ngữ cảnh bán lẻ, trong đó việc gom cụm được thực hiện bằng cách sử dụng mô hình Length-Recency-Frequency-Monetary (LRFM) tích hợp phương pháp K-means.
Kết quả phân cụm, nhóm thu được sáu nhóm, nhưng chỉ có năm trong số đó thỏa mãn điều kiện để đánh giá Trạng thái Trung thành tích cực, được gán cho tên gọi lần lượt là: Khách hàng Trung thành Cao Cấp Ban Đầu, Khách hàng Trung thành Trung Bình Ban Đầu, Khách hàng Trung thành Cao Cấp Mới, Khách hàng Trung thành Cao Cấp Mọi thời kỳ, và Khách hàng Trung thành Mọi thời kỳ. Kết quả phân khúc hóa này đạt được số điểm Silhouette Coefficient khá ấn tượng là 0,837. Xuất phát từ kết quả nảy, Adventure Works có thể tùy chỉnh chiến lược tiếp thị sao cho phù hợp hơn đối với từng phân khúc khách hàng của họ, ngày càng củng cố nền quản trị quan hệ với khách hàng của công ty. Từ khóa: mô hình LREM; thuật toán phân cụm K-means; phương pháp Elbow; phương pháp Silhouette score; phân khúc khách hàng: lòng trung thảnh của khách hàng; marketing: nền công nghiệp bán lẻ.
12 Project Overview Reasons In the context of the Industrial Revolution and contemporary business modernization, the integration of technology and data analysis is indispensable for organizational advancement. As of January 20, 2014, a search for "customer analytics” yielded over 5 million results, encompassing sponsored links from major players such as IBM, Accenture, and Adobe, as well as service providers like SAS, SAP, and Deloitte. Notably, a global survey in 2018 reported that 84% of leading companies in the United States and worldwide had initiated big data analytics endeavors to enhance decision- making accuracy (Statista, 2018). Big data analytics is influential in refining business operations such as supply chain management (Gunasekaran et al., 2017) and customer relationship management (Nam, Lee, & Lee, 2019; Phillips-VWWren & Hoskisson, 2015; Zerbino, Aloini, Dulmin, & Mininno, 2018).
In the context of Adventure Works’ case, the application of LRFM methodology to segment customers based on loyalty status will become a critical element in the development and sustainability of the business. It enables Adventure Works to research and comprehend customer loyalty thoroughly, so that once armed with profound insights, the company can formulate specific strategies to enhance market competitiveness, attract potential customers, and foster loyalty among its existing clients. Objectives The study aims to provide an efficient customer segmentation model based on loyalty status using the LRFM (Length, Recency, Frequency, Monetary) model and K-Means algorithm. The in-depth analysis of each segment means to help Adventure Works: e Identify customers’ actual shopping behavior.
e Comprehend customer diversity and capture the typical characteristics of each segment. e Enhance business decisions and develop more effective marketing and advertising campaigns for increasing profit. 13 Objects and scopes Objects We investigate and analyze the purchasing behaviors and habits of Adventure Works' customers, derived from the retailer dataset, specifically, how long had they been purchasing from Adventure Works, when was the last time they bought something from AW, how often did they order from AW, and how much had they spent on AW’s products. In other words, their Length, Recency, Frequency, and Monetary value scores are to be examined and understood for insightful outputs.
Scopes ® Time scope: From July 1, 2017, to June 15, 2020.
