Transformationals and Tests

Transformational customers have different interests than do Traditional customers, the customers that generated billions in profit for the catalog industry.

Take a look at the Transformational section of the table.  When you don't mail customers to these customers, you still maintain 76.6% of demand.  In other words, these customers shop you for reasons other than catalog marketing.  Traditionals must be mailed catalogs.  Transformationals practically ignore them.


We do Transformationals a disservice with our matchback analytics.  As you can see, matchbacks would tell us that the customer generates $5.94 demand, while testing suggests that the customer spends $1.39 because the catalog was mailed.  This customer shops for reasons other than catalog marketing.


So why mail this customer?  You lost $0.24 profit.


Now, granted, instead of 21 mailings a year, maybe you can get away with four or five or six.  Save some money!
