2. Segment customers based on their buying habits, preferences, and demographics.

3. Develop customer personas and profiles for each segment to better understand their needs and preferences.

1. Data Collection: Gather transactional data including customer demographics, purchase history, product details, and transaction dates.

2. Data Cleaning and Preparation: Cleanse the data to remove duplicates, errors, and inconsistencies. Prepare the data for analysis by organizing it into a structured format.

3. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): Explore the data to identify patterns, trends, and correlations in customer purchasing behavior.

4. Customer Segmentation: Utilize clustering algorithms such as K-means clustering or hierarchical clustering to segment customers based on their similarities in purchasing behavior.

5. Persona Development: Create customer personas for each segment, incorporating demographic information, purchase preferences, and behavioral traits.

6. Performance Evaluation: Evaluate the effectiveness of current marketing strategies and product offerings for each customer segment using relevant metrics such as customer lifetime value (CLV) and purchase frequency.

7. Strategy Recommendations: Based on the analysis findings, recommend targeted marketing strategies and personalized product recommendations for each customer segment to optimize sales and enhance customer satisfaction.



Deliverables:

1. Cleaned and prepared dataset.
