CUSTOMER PURCHASE PATTERN REVIEW · Workflow idea

Understand buying patterns before deciding what customers should hear from you.

Organize recent purchase history by how recently customers bought, how often they ordered, and how much they spent. Prepare a clear report with groups such as loyal, new, or possibly at risk, along with suggested marketing considerations. A person checks the results and approves any audience, account, or campaign change before it is made.

The handoff

A report of purchase-pattern segments, supporting measures, suggested considerations, and review status.

Keep in mind

Purchase history may be incomplete and does not explain a person’s circumstances or preferences. Limit access to customer data, verify the reporting period and calculations, and do not infer consent or eligibility from a segment. Require the authorized owner to approve any customer-record or audience change and the exact message and recipient before a campaign is sent.

Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Protect customer information

Limit access to identifiable order details and set appropriate retention and reporting practices.

Assign marketing and account approvers

Name who verifies segments and approves customer-record changes, audiences, exact messages, and recipients.
