Key concepts & definitions
Campaign
A set of systematic promotional activities (multiple offers, scenarios & channels) against a welldefined target group (advanced business logic for accurate customer selection) within a controlled
environment (infrastructure for response gathering, reporting, analysis and modeling).
Campaign Management
Infrastructure & processes enabling efficient design (Target group definition - customer selection,
eligibility criteria, profile analysis), smooth execution (integration with communication channels) and
effective response analysis (response gathering, analysis, reporting and modelling).
Data Mining & BI (Business Intelligence)
BI is based on several technologies & scientific areas such as information technology, multidimensional
data exploration technologies (OLAP), data mining, statistical modeling, text mining, visualization
techniques
BI enables companies to explore, analyze, and model large amounts of complex data
BI can greatly enhance Campaign Management processes from Design (TG definition), Execution
(efficient communication planning), to response analysis & modelling (exploratory and/ or with data
mining)

The need for optimization
The ultimate goal
Enable the right treatment on the right customer at the right time through the right channel . Thisfurther enables customer understanding (needs, preferences, usage & buying patterns) enabling
customer response analysis and modeling
The roadmapDesign, implement and automate solid campaign management processes. This will provide flexibility (in
handling customers, products and promotions), reliability (regarding execution, response gathering) and
robust measurement & analysis processes - functions. This will enable a systematic monitoring and
analysis framework to support decisioning in general
The business value Winning the performance game (On-time Schedule Indicator, Cost Per Activity)
Customer insight - usage patterns, profiles and customer base trends may reveal significant
cross-selling or up-selling opportunities
Assessment of marketing actions, special offers or campaigns can be assessed in detail using
customer responses and changes in usage patterns: The Closed Loop Marketing
Retain (ensure) or increase Customer Satisfaction levels

Designing the target group
Using Segmentation schemes
effective schemes for categorizing and organizing meaningful groups of customers
Customer Profilingthe process of analyzing the elements (customers) of each segment in order to generalize, describe or
name this set of customers based on common characteristics. It is the process of understanding and
labeling a set of customers
The process
the target group definition process is an iterative procedure aiming in compilation of a well
structured set of customers with certain degree of homogeneity regarding a set of attributes.
Involves business knowledge, ideas & creative thinking as well as data-driven concepts, facts
and modelling activities
Requires effective exploratory analysis and in-depth understanding of the customer base
Can be optimized using advanced modelling techniques and data mining algorithms

Designing the target group
The Physical Customer Structure
Physical Customer Identification is a critical point in customer segmentation & insight: A physicalcustomer may have several accounts with contradictive behavior regarding usage or payment. The
physical customer (a) must be correctly identified and (b) must be efficiently scored in the top level

Campaign response analysis
A Measurement Environment
A set of metrics, KPIs and predefined reports, enabling an instant picture of each specific campaign.Reports also include suitable comparisons with ‘global constants’ such as group averages, baselines and
predefined limits thus enabling comparative performance analysis of a campaign.
Customer Contact HistoryCustomer campaign memberships and response history (memberships, contacts, feedback, offers &
promotions attempted) should be maintained and further processed in order to generate related customer
metadata. This ‘customer communication history’ should also be available to other systems as well, thusextending the knowledge regarding customers, their needs and preferences.
Detailed Campaign HistoryCampaign History & Reporting provide rich history of the full lifecycle of each specific campaign.
Information on campaign execution events can be used as markers against the evolution of the customer
base (reporting before and prior the campaign) for trends, indirect results or pattern identification.
Formal evaluationROI models, comparisons of expected results against actual, analysis versus initial statistical profiles of
the target group, all packed in standardized, well define reports

Campaign response analysis
Campaign Analysis Cube
Analyze campaign response data in any meaningful way. Start with exploratory analysis, browsing theresults in order to see the shape of the response set. A powerful, high-performance environment for
browsing customer response data. Basic dimensions:
1. Customer segment: enables the projection of the target group of your campaign (and any subset
as well) against the available segmentation schemes
2. Customer Profile type: similarly the customer set can be analyzed in terms of well-known &
understood customer profiles
3. Channel: the channels available/ selected for the specific campaign. Enables analysis of
performance (for instance response rate against channel used and in combination with other
dimensions)
4. Offer : the actual promotion, offering to the customer
5. Contact Time: the time zone (day and time – according to schemes in use)
6. Timing: the time positioning of the communication event in terms of customer critical dates (e.g.
forthcoming contract expiration or renewal process)
7. Script: the actual communication ‘dialogue’ – how the offering has been proposed to the customer
8. Agent profile: Characteristics of the agent involved (demographics, experience, seniority,
specialization)

Applying Data Mining
Data Miningrefers to statistical and machine learning algorithms, applied in large amounts of data, aiming in
identifying hidden relations and patterns. Popular data mining models include decision trees,
clustering & association rules.
Association rules can identify correlations between pages/content not directly or obviously
connected. May lead to previously unknown – not obvious- associations between sets of users with
specific interests thus enabling more efficient treatment of customer
Clustering is a set of statistical algorithms aiming in grouping together items (customers) that present
at least a certain degree of homogeneity relevant to specific measures. In contrast, the ‘distance’
between groups is maximized, thus forming a physical ‘segmentation scheme’ for further processing or
event direct use.
Classification refers to a family of algorithms that ‘learn’ to assign items to pre-defined (existing)
groups.
Sequential Analysis is a methodology for unveiling patterns of co-occurrence

Personalization: Definitions, Needs & Business Value
Personalization
consists of mechanisms used to adapt a web-site in terms of information / content served or services/ functionality enabled, based on user navigational patterns, their profiles and their
preferences.
improves customer experience, resulting in more efficient actions through an ‘intelligent web site’
able to adapt according to user’s profile. May dramatically improve customer (user) satisfaction &
Loyalty, usage boost, cross-selling & up-selling opportunities
Personalization within typical e-commerce environments can take the following forms:
Recommendation. Determine suitable material (content, links, listings etc) for the specific user
and the specific session. The ‘suitability’ of the material is computed from data mining algorithms
which process large volumes of data and identify ‘hidden’ relationships.
Localization. User’s physical geography (as registered), or retrieved (connection based) can be
used and ‘appropriate’ content is displayed
Targeted Advertising. ads that are expected to interest the user most (based on data mining –
profiling & segmentation models)
Email Campaigns. Personalized messages to highly targeted users (according to their
profiles/interests & segmentation schemes)

Personalization: Data Requirements
User data includes information that can be used to define profiles of the physical user (individual
and/or company) such as:
Demographics: gender, age, socioeconomic data, profession, education level, company
attributes etc
Interests & preferences: communication settings, interests against specific content categories or
functionality offered (as submitted by the user through registration process)
User experience: experience in the domains of interest, roles etc
Usage data consists of the set of data that describe in detail every single user-portal interaction.
A usually complex, large volume data set including log file information, session specific data,
content structure.
Environmental data refers to information describing the technological infrastructure enabling
each user to access services and content offered (hardware, software, operating system)
‘Portal data’ refers to information providing structural representation, content definitions, relations,
actions, processes (registration, applications, service activation, inquiries etc)
