It doesn't require magic to make Predictive Analytics work. Flick through our slides from Festival of Marketing on how key data is to making Predictive Marketing work.

How much data do you need?
What is the optimal number of
variables to use in a predictive
model?
What depth of web activity
information do I need to
include in my models?
Should I include all
transactional data or can I look
at individual channels?
I have 10 years’ worth of
transactional data in a
perfectly organised database.
Do I need to have it all
available to my models?
I launched a new website.
Does this mean my tag
information is no longer valid
in my predictive models?

6. Consider this example..
Two retailers who sell their goods through a number of channels. Their core
customers are from the same demographic and they have a similar price
points in their product ranges.
7. 7
How many peaks
do you have that
appear cyclically
(for example
consecutive
Christmases)?
How often do your
customers
purchase your
core product
offering?
Have there been
any significant
changes in your
business strategy,
product offering or
wider economic
climate which
need to be tracked
over time?
Retention Period
The length of time that your
data looks at depends
completely on your customers
and business. Some key
aspects to keep in mind are
repurchase windows, annual
peaks and significant events

Can you implement the actions
from your models?
How often do the models get
refreshed?
Does the model account for
current behavioural trends?
How do I use the scores to
segment my customers?
How do I include artificial
intelligence in my day to day
campaign activity?
Can I set up an automated
campaign based on predicted
behaviour?
What role does machine
learning play in helping me
identify my customers along
their lifecycle?
11. Artificial Intelligence
AI involves machines
that can perform tasks
that are characteristic
of human intelligence
but on a greater scale
Machine Learning
A process for gathering
information and analysing
data to provide learnings for
AI to be successful.
Predictive Analytics
A specific set of algorithms
that provides the likelihood
that something will happen
in the future, eg likelihood
to make a purchase.

Is there statistical
validation around
how good the
model is?
Do you have
visibility of score
distributions and
why someone has
high or low
likelihood to
complete an
action?
Is there
significance testing
associated with
reporting on
control cells in
campaigns?
How do you know that the
changes in behaviour you are
seeing are down to your
campaign and not random
chance?

15. Breadth of Data – Pareto Principle or the 80/20 rule
Time Period – Based on the business and length of time the model is covering
Do you build your own or go black box?
Is it actually doing what you intended it to?
How do you know it is working? Are you reporting accurately?
