Optimising marketing strategies by customer segments and lifetime values, with A/B testing
Abstract
Every customer has different needs and purchasing behaviour. This paper shows how data science tools such as machine learning, artificial intelligence and A/B testing enable marketers to segment their target market, identify the most loyal high-value customers and their purchasing patterns, and calculate the lifetime value of these customer segments to optimise marketing strategies and campaigns. The paper also argues that A/B testing helps marketers make unbiased data-driven decisions, making it the gold standard for identifying the best marketing strategy.
