Use Cases

The following are the use cases that help you understand the feature.

1. Scenario 1: Consider a scenario where an organization wants to compare the purchasing patterns (based on products purchased) year-over-year(YoY) of a high-value customer group.
   Solution: This like-for-like(LFL) analysis can be accomplished using audience group filters. Open a sales report and select an audience group filter from the compare audience list that has the Transaction date and time filter applied to it. Now, you can see the product performance(based on product category) for an audience group(audience_demo) between a specific time duration(October 2019 and October 2020).

If you do not have the audience group in the list, you can create an audience group filter from Engage+ with the Transaction date and time.

2. Scenario 2: Consider a use case where an organization wants to re-target an audience list with a minimum spend offer.
   Solution: To decide the appropriate minimum spend threshold for the offer, open or create a report with an average transaction value-based banding of customers. Select the audience list to see the distribution of customers with various bands to decide the minimum spend. Now, you can see the shopping done by customers during a campaign(New Year Campaign) with value-based banding (<5000, 5000-7000, 7000-9000, and 9000).

If you don’t have the audience group in the list, you can create an audience group filter from Engage+.
