Situation

This the first part of RevoBank analysis, focused on EDA and A/B testing analysis.

As a Data Analyst on RevoBank’s Card Partnerships team, I was tasked with evaluating and optimizing a 6-month promotional rewards program with RevoShop to increase credit card usage and revenue while reducing program costs. My role was to analyze customer data to provide insights into behaviors that could inform strategies for customizing the rewards by segment to boost engagement in a more cost-effective manner. The goal was to leverage data-driven insights to tailor the program to customer preferences and sensitivities in order to improve partnership value.

Backround

RevoBank implemented an exclusive promotion for its credit card customers in partnership with RevoShop, an ecommerce marketplace. This promotion rewards cardholders with points for shopping at RevoShop to incentivize spending.

After running this promotion for 6 months, RevoBank wants to optimize the program. While it’s driving card usage and merchant revenue, the promotion comes at a high cost to the bank. RevoBank needs data-driven insights into customer spending behaviors to identify ways to refine the program for maximum return.

By analyzing historical customer transaction and demographic data, I can segment users and uncover differences in behaviors and promo sensitivity. These insights can inform strategies to customize the rewards by user group to boost engagement in a more cost-effective manner. My analysis will provide the business intelligence needed to increase card usage and revenue from the partnership while reducing the bank’s promotion expenses.

Problem Definition

The problem was that RevoBank lacked a data-driven understanding of customer behaviors to strategically tailor the RevoShop rewards program for maximum return.
