Predictions are part of the Mapp AI package and are used to make forecasts based on user behavior.

  • What is the likelihood that a specific visitor will never return to the website?
  • What is the likelihood that a specific visitor will buy something during one of the subsequent visits?
  • What order value will a specific visitor generate with his next order/in the next 30 days/lifetime?

This information is relevant to derive individual marketing measures.

  • The costs of marketing measures should not exceed the expected profit.
  • Only spend money on customers with high potential!

A self-learning system continuously analyses influences and considers them for calculation.

  • The system is configured individually for each customer.
  • In the first 2-3 months, in particular, the predictions are automatically adapted on a customer-specific basis.

Various criteria are analyzed:

  • Number of visits
  • Number of orders
  • Purchases/visit
  • Visit duration Avg
  • Page impressions/visit
  • Product views/visit
  • Value of product views/visit
  • Order value Avg
  • Order value
  • Days since first/last visit
  • Days since first/last purchase

The following prediction metrics and dimensions are available:

  • To calculate the churn probability, all needed is for each page to be tracked in Mapp Intelligence.
  • To calculate the other probabilities, orders, and products have to be measured as well.

Calculating the churn probability

Example:

Day 1

Five percent of visitors return to the website on the day of the first visit.
The churn probability on day 1 is: 100 % – sum of all returning visitors (Day 1 – Day 8) = 100 % - 22 % = 78 %

Day 2

Seven percent of visitors return to the website one day after the first visit.
The churn probability on day 2 is: 100 % – sum of all returning visitors (Day 2 – Day 8) = 100 % - 17 % = 83 %

The overall churn probability considers when visitors were last active on the website.

Individual behavior patterns are now considered in the calculation.

For example:

  • Visit duration Avg
  • Page impressions / visit
  • Number of visits

For example, if there were ten page impressions during the first visit, only visitors with a similar number of page impressions would be included in the calculation.
