Define Marketing Success with ML/AI
Predictive analytics is the use of data, statistical algorithms and AI techniques to identify possible future outcomes. This can help you stay ahead of the curve and assess the future of your marketing. Here are a few ways that you can use AI and predictive analytics in your marketing.
Optimizing marketing campaigns
With predictive analytics, it works just like the Scientific Method by having a hypothesis and then proving it either right or wrong. You can use the data to determine what customer segments and audiences will be the most effective to reach and create actionable insights.
With accurate reporting, you can accurately tell whether a campaign was successful and optimize where it may fall short. This lays the groundwork for best practices of strategies to follow, not just in marketing, but sales and business decisions as well.
Predicting customer behavior
Data is the most accurate way to predict a customer’s “next move” in your business model- especially online. Using behavioral data with customer journeys, you can predict engagement points on when you think a customer may convert. You can also track “drop-off points” and see where you may be losing people whether it is due to confusing content or a dead end in the journey.
By mapping these patterns, at both one-to-many and one-to-one marketing, you can give insight into the outcomes of campaigns and help drive to the outcomes that you want.You can also use this information to do profile scoring and build customer models.
According to a study by the Aberdeen Group, predictive analytics users are twice as likely to identify high-value customers and market the right offer. By doing all of this you can identify potential leads and prioritize the ones that are most likely to convert.
Personalizing content
By being able to predict customer behavior and build models off that data, you can then personalize your content to target those certain leads. By targeting the right audience at the right time, you can show more accurate paths to ROI.
By using historical data to see the behavior of past customers, you can use that to determine and create personalized messages.
Easily scale Tailored and Personalized Journeys.

Understanding User listening Behavior is essential for Personalizing Music listening experiences on Spotify
Spotify uses machine learning recommenders that take into account what and how users consume playlists and the rich diversity of playlist experiences
User engagement (UE) is a quality of user experience characterized by the depth of an actor’s cognitive, temporal, affective and behavioural investment when interacting with a digital system (O’Brien, 2016a)
“Our customers always tell us that music discovery and listening is a personal experience, and we are enhancing the free experience with this in mind,” said Babar Zafar, VP of Product Development at Spotify. “This is the beginning of an evolution for Spotify and we will continue to make improvements that mirror our customers’ needs. This is not only about giving users a more customized free experience from the day they sign up, but giving them more control over their listening experience so they can easily find and stream their favorites anytime, from anywhere.”

Palantir in India to analyze Future Group data
src: Economic times
Future Group has tied up with American data mining firm Palantir Technologies, which will provide the country’s biggest listed retailer with analyses of data on shoppers’ consumption and buying frequency patterns.
“They will analyse customers’ data at an extremely micro level and such detailing will provide insights in customer trends and shopping habits,” said Kishore Biyani, CEO, Future Group. “The technology tie-up is part of our data-to-business strategy called Tathastu, with an aim to get two crore members from stores across formats to spend Rs 1 lakh each per annum.”
A 10-member team from Palantir Technologies is already stationed in India to help Future Group in data science and machine learning algorithms. Most consumer companies and retailers are relying on external data to gauge their sales and plan new launches.
Biyani owns more than half- a-dozen supermarket store chains including Big Bazaar, Hyper City, Easyday and Nilgiri’s that have a combined retail space of 14.8 million sq ft in 340 cities, a national presence that can only be matched by Reliance Retail. With a footfall of about 500 million and transaction data on more than 30 million customers, the company’s shopping data can be used to predict purchases, said Biyani.
Future Group’s dependence on technology to boost sales comes against the backdrop of increasing competition from rivals such as Walmart and Amazon that rely heavily on data mining to push sales growth.
For the past one year, the company has been pushing technology integration, known internally as Retail 3.0, which is being piloted through several Easyday stores that function as a marketplace which are also used to study shopping behaviour. For instance, each member spends nearly Rs 40,000 at small format stores and their purchase frequency is 38-52 times a year. Such collated datapoints are used to predict consumption patterns and even manufacture products.
