This document discusses predictive modeling and its use in targeting customers for marketing campaigns. Specifically:
- Predictive modeling can be used to target only 25% of a customer list but still generate great value by improving efficiency and effectiveness.
- Uplift modeling, a type of predictive modeling, is used to identify which customer segments are most likely to be positively influenced by a marketing contact rather than just predicting behavior.
- Case studies show how uplift modeling improved campaign ROI and reduced costs for a bank's cross-sell efforts, demonstrating the value of this approach.

Cutting Edge Predictive Analytics with Eric Siegel Databricks
Apache Spark empowers predictive analytics and machine learning by increasing the reach and potential. But, before jumping to new deployments, it’s critical we 1) get the analytics right and 2) not overlook less conspicuous business opportunities. In this keynote, Predictive Analytics World founder and “Predictive Analytics” author Eric Siegel ramps you up on a dangerous pitfall and a critical value proposition:

– OPPORTUNITY: Optimizing marketing persuasion by predicting the *influence* of marketing treatments, i.e., uplift modeling
Uplift Modeling: Optimize for Influence and Persuade by the NumbersRising Media Ltd.
Data driven decisions are meant to maximize impact - right? Well, the only way to optimize influence is to predict it. The analytical method to do this is called uplift modeling (aka, persuasion modeling). This is a completely different animal from standard predictive models, which predict customer behavior. Instead, uplift models predict the influence on an individual's behavior gained by choosing one treatment over another. In this session, PAW founder Eric Siegel provides an introduction to this growing area.

Article Summary: Marketing Research Trends in 2014, Craig Kolb; BizCommunity.com; January 17, 2014
Article: “Marketing Research Trends in 2014,” by Craig Kolb, published by BizCommunity.com on January 14, 2014, suggests that marketing research as we know it could become extinct. Mr. Kolb presents five trends in 2014, which look at traditional methodologies and how those disciplines could make practical usage of the “big data” that are available. It is indeed a challenge for both marketing research purists and IT professionals worldwide. Are the data sets too large and complex to interpret via standard research methodologies? Have we reached a breaking point, or is this the paradigm that will ultimately redefine all that we know about customer experiences? Is more always better than less?
The enterprise marketer's playbook: Building an integrated data strategy.
An integrated data strategy can help any business see customer journeys more clearly ― and then give customers more relevant ads and experiences that get results. So why doesn't everyone have such a strategy? We look at what sets the marketing leaders apart.
Let marketing data be your guide
If you've ever felt too swamped by data to find the customer insights you need, you're not alone. But there's a new and better approach to gaining deeper audience insights: building an integrated data strategy.
Read this report to learn how:
86% of senior executives agree that eliminating organizational silos is critical to expanding the use of data and analytics in decision-making.
75% of marketers agree that lack of education and training on data and analytics is the biggest barrier to more business decisions being made based on data insights.
Leading marketers are 59% more likely to use digital analytics to optimize the user experience in real time.
Market Research OverviewWhat is the idea of using marketing re.docxdesteinbrook
Market Research Overview
What is the idea of using marketing research? The idea of suing market research is to offer excellent research enable people in life to understand and interpret products and services’ issues. Market research is used because companies need to listen to people understand and give the product or service meet their expectations. It is also important conduct market research to evaluate information that would benefit organizations to make better decisions and reducing risk. This research can help businesses to increase consumer goods, reach out to people about the company’s products and services. Researchers’ role is to collect data about case studies on subjects, such as consumers’ testimony on foo products like cookies. With this market research, it helps to develop questions on sample of consumers or employees on views of the majority of population. Market research is conducted the BIPAC market research report 2011-2012 case study. One of the focuses on this topic is dealing with improvement advanced in technology affecting all disciplines in the research world.
BIPAC Background
BIPAC is an organization provides important information regarding to their employees or constituents, by the government affects website or department. The members are trade and business associations in the business community. They plan to provide accurate information about strategy issues that affect the running and development of the business. The specific goal oriented strategy including affecting active impactful role in the policy making process in the public business sector. BIPAC conduct the Prosperity Project for any organization’s strategy for the website and other information on reaching out to employees about the activities occur in business in the report. The company surveys to gather information from employees’ views on increase awareness on making changes on issues that need to be resolved in this case study. The research problem is if the organization continues to not alerting employees about the issues, that need to be resolved this case study. BIPAC Market Research (2012) shows, “More than 500 responses represent many industries that are diverse organizational size and geographical including measurements of using tools, issues and political awareness, this also includes respondents involvement in political activities” (p.1).
The research question is how BIPAC company are going to make sure employees are aware of the changes that needs to be made in this business community? If, employees are aware of changes, how would they discuss their views of the changes, if they are not notice about the activities in the business community? To answer this question and resolve this problem, the goal is both Minerva Marketing, LLC and BIPAC will conduct surveys to collect employee’s voting answers on ways to address the issues in this business. Lauga and Ofek, (2009) indicates, “Market research may target the smaller niche segment with its.

A crummy predictive model delivers big value. It’s like a skunk with bling.
Simple arithmetic shows the bottom line profit of direct mail, both in general and
then improved by predictively targeting (and only contacting 25% of the list). The
less simple part is how the predictive scores are generated for each individual in
order to determine exactly who belongs in that 25%. For details on how this
works, see Chapter 1 of the book "Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict
Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die" (http://www.thepredictionbook.com).
10. Put another way, predicting better than guessing is often sufficient to generate
great value by rendering operations more efficient and effective. For details on
how this works, see the Introduction and Chapter 1 of the book "Predictive
Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die" (http://
www.thepredictionbook.com).

MEDICAL:
Will the patient survive if treated?
"My headache went away!“ Proof of causality by example.
Driving medical decisions with personalized medicine: selecting treatment, e.g.,
treating heart failure with betablockers
Personalized medicine. Naturally, healthcare is where the term treatment
originates. While one medical treatment may deliver better results on average
than another, personalized medicine aims to decide which treatment is best suited
for each patient, since a treatment that helps one patient could hurt another. For
example, to drive beta-blocker treatment decisions for heart failure, researchers
"use two independent data sets to construct a systematic, subject-specific
treatment selection procedure." (Claggett et al 2011) Certain HIV treatment is
shown more effective for younger children. (McKinney et al 1998) Cancer

Resulting improvements over prior conventional analytical approach:
Campaign ROI increased over 5 times previous campaigns (75% to 400%)
Cut campaign costs by 40%
Increase incremental cross-sell revenue by over 300%
Decrease mailings to customers who would purchase whether
contacted or not, and customers who would purchase only if not contacted.

33. The US's Democratic National Committee keeps a database of registered voters,
including how they responded to prior interaction with campaign volunteers.
This project varied from the norm since it uses persuasion modeling (aka, uplift
modeling), a less common and more advanced form of predictive modeling. Most
predictive modeling endeavors predict something recording in the past (did the
individual buy, for example), so the organization need not collect additional data
for the project - the data already collected simply in the course of doing business
provides enough material to work with. But, for persuasion modeling, you need a
control set of individuals *not* exposed to the marketing treatment (in this case,
no volunteer knocking on the door or calling). Also, since it is about voting
behavior rather than buying behavior, no organization actually has each voter
choice/outcome merged in with the voter's identity. Therefore, polling is the only
approximate way to get that. To collect data for this project, over several weeks in
2012 the Obama campaign conducted special polls, which were coordinated with
applying (and not applying) the marketing treatment (campaign volunteer
interaction) on samples of voters.
Two articles I wrote provide more details on the Obama campaign's use of
predictive analytics (one a reprint of the pertinent section in my book):

34. From Predictive Analytics, by Eric Siegel (http://www.thepredictionbook.com):
Unsurprisingly, 2016 presidential campaigns are gearing up to apply persuasion
modeling. The specifics are well-guarded secrets, but the trend is undeniable.
Even as early as July 2015, Hillary Clinton’s “analytics team is looking for data
nerds,” said her campaign website. Shown as one of 11 campaign job categories,
analytics included five types of open roles. Analytics job postings for the
campaign on relevant industry portals enlisted staff for “helping the campaign
determine which voters to target for persuasion.” Bernie Sanders’ campaign
website included “Director of Data and Analytics” as one of only five posted job
listings.
Years after the 2012 election, Daniel Porter’s perspective hasn’t changed. “It
remains clear that persuasion modeling is extraordinarily valuable for political
campaigns. In fact, after the experience accrued last time around, it’s sure to be
done by 2016 campaigns even more effectively than in 2012.” There’s also going
to be better data for this work, at least on the Democratic side. “The DNC is
building out further its data infrastructure about voters in battleground states.”

Contacting entire list produces a slight downlift, but the segment above produces
an uplift.
This example is simplified for this illustration.
Both training sets A and B have the same variables.
Instead of identifying a “hot” segment with more purchasers/respondents than
average (i.e., predicting behavior), identify segments like this one within which
customers are more likely to be positively influenced by marketing contact, i.e.,
for which there is a higher purchase rate in training set A (the active treatment –
contact) than in training set B (the passive treatment – no marketing contact) for
the same segment.

elements optimizes performance. Predictive analytics initiatives across industries
leverage the same core predictive modeling technology, share similar project
overhead and data requirements, and face common process challenges and
analytical hurdles.
