Second Purchase Propensity Model

Overview

A customer's second purchase is an important milestone as it’s often the key event that differentiates loyal customers from one-time shoppers. Having insight into which customers are more or less likely to make this second purchase allows you to target your marketing strategy to drive loyalty.

The Second Purchase Prediction model generates a Second Purchase Likelihood Score ranging from 1-100 for each customer reflecting their purchase likelihood. You can use this score to create segments, run campaigns, or simply understand your customer base better.


Purchase Likelihood Scores and Purchase Likelihood Groups

The Second Purchase Prediction model gives each of your customers a Second Purchase Likelihood Score that ranges from 1-100. A higher score means a greater likelihood of purchasing making a second purchase.

Each customer is then assigned to a Second Purchase Likelihood Group based on their score:

  • High Second Purchase Likelihood: 76-100
  • Medium Second Purchase Likelihood: 51-75
  • Low Second Purchase Likelihood: 0-50

Second Purchase Likelihood Groups are an easy way to determine which segments of your audience to target in order to drive increased customer loyalty.
