Impact of a Loyalty Spoiler

When all things are equal, it's important to not focus marketing activities on Loyalty Spoilers.


Here's an example that I ran on a recent dataset:

  • An item sold 400 units last year in Q4, at a price of $49.
  • Customers who purchased comparable items repurchase at a 20% rate.
  • Customers who purchased this item repurchase at a 15% rate, though equal in every other manner to customers buying other products.
  • Each customer who repurchases is worth $150 in the next three months.
So, you earn $49 * 400 = $19,600 by selling the item.

Then the item spoils loyalty, costing you the following:
  • 400 * (.15 - .20) * 150 = $3,000 of future demand.
The net productivity of the item, then, is not $19,600 ... but is $19,600 - $3,000 = $16,600.  You run a profit and loss statement on the current value of the item and the future value you either spoil or build.

Make sense?

Good!

Now go out there and run a Loyalty Spoiler analysis (hint --- email marketing is the best place to start, it is so easy and straightforward here).
