It’s Not Just Hype: How Brand Advertisers Can Use AudienceMaker to Build Predictive Models for More Effective Targeting

No Data Science Team? No Problem. Marketers Can Finally Create Their Own Lookalike Models.

Predictive analytics and modeling aren’t just fancy terms – they’re like your marketing crystal ball. Imagine knowing future trends and what your audience digs before it even happens! 

WIth these insights, brands can make proactive, informed decisions. Using historical data, analytics tools and models can reveal patterns and correlations that might be invisible to the naked eye. Predictive analytics also enhances targeting precision, so marketers can allocate resources more efficiently and tailor campaigns to specific segments. In addition to optimizing marketing budgets, this also increases outreach effectiveness. By anticipating customer preferences and needs, predictive modeling fosters better brand-consumer relationships. Sounds like a win-win-win! 🎉

But for lean marketing teams, this is easier said than done. Securing data science resources can be a real headache, especially for smaller, high-growth organizations. Does this mean that these brands should miss out on all the benefits of predictive modeling? Absolutely not.

AudienceMaker Marketing Modeling Use Case: Efficiently Acquire New Customers

Acquisition campaigns are a big deal for brands. They’re often viewed as a major growth lever, bringing in new customers and driving company revenue. Prospecting campaigns don’t just expand brand reach and awareness; they help brands stay relevant and thrive. 

But casting too wide of a prospecting net can cause major inefficiencies. For example, one auto service brand was blanketing everyone within a certain mile of their locations with the same direct mail piece. Uh oh – there’s a lot of waste. If you’re in the same boat, consider this. 

1️⃣ Upload your current customers to AudienceMaker

2️⃣ Build a predictive lookalike model in a couple of clicks to identify ideal prospects

3️⃣Layer on additional targeting parameters, like distance to location

4️⃣Activate these audience for direct marketing targeting

In less than an hour, you could be on your path to reduced spend waste, boosted overall ROI for your direct marketing campaigns and increased conversion rates.

AudienceMaker Marketing Modeling Use Case: Retain Your Key Customers

Retention marketing is like throwing a fantastic party for your existing customers, keeping the good vibes flowing and preventing any unwanted exits. By tuning into what makes your customers tick – their preferences, behaviors, and happiness levels – businesses can roll out personalized strategies that amp up the overall customer experience. No one likes to see guests leave early, and in business terms, preventing churn not only secures your revenue but also turns loyal customers into the life of the party, making repeat appearances and cheering on your brand.

Picture this cool use case. In a recent strategic initiative, a forward-thinking travel brand used AudienceMaker’s predictive modeling to forecast the evolution of new customers into specific loyalty member types. They uploaded their current loyalty members by tier (Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc). And now, the models help the hotel identify which visitors have a high likelihood of transitioning into a particular tier. The implementation of this predictive approach has opened the gateway to crafting curated customer journeys and targeted offers across all channels.
