OVERVIEW


The challenge.

Coupons were costing margin without creating sales.


Generic campaigns

Generic marketing campaigns failed to engage customers personally or to increase store visits and sales.


No additional revenue

Customers bought only with coupons, or earlier than they would have, with no extra revenue for the retailer.

One model per customer, refreshed every week.

Model Factory
