Case Study

Campaign Design for the

micro-segments
Increasing the dwindling footfalls
& generating positive WOM
through RIGHT campaign design

Client: Large Retail Chain

Summary

• Our client on an expansion spree, was not being able to put in

Business adequate focus to study the customer behavior pattern
Objective • It was looking for ways to capture the high churn and early
dropouts which had cascaded in depleting top-lines.

• Cequity mapped micro-segments of customers using the RFM grid

• It mined the spending habits of customers within these micro-
Solution segments & classified them accordingly
• Design targeted promos for each of these clusters with exclusive
value offerings

• Our client had an unprecedented success in win-back initiative

• There was manifold increase in footfalls of new customers
Results • Effective response tracking dashboards were designed to measure
campaign ROI and to keep stock of inert customers so as to target
them in the next campaign
Business Objective

Currently retail industry is marked by new entrants,

predatory pricing and high real estate prices. Our client was
already in phase of rapid expansion and its focus was
becoming monolithic in this pursuit. In the current
scenario, retailers operate on wafer thin margins and
commit themselves towards a long break-even time and
loosing out on existing customers in such a scenario was
bringing high attrition in its top-line which demanded
immediate arrest.

In these times of fierce competition we helped the client to

effectively understand the customer behavior, designing
campaigns suited across each customer micro-segment,
tracking those campaigns so as to continuously improve
upon them.
There was visible improvement in # of footfalls, ticket-size
and other accompanying factors within a short time-
period.
