RETAIL:
Targeting Customers for Walk-in Bathtubs
Background
American Standard manufactures bathroom and kitchen products. They were particularly interested in promoting walk-in bathtubs and traditionally focused their marketing on urban areas.
Analytic Objectives
The objective was to identify the best 6-digit postal codes for promoting walk-in bathtubs, focusing on Ontario and British Columbia.
Manifold’s Approach
We created indices for population age, income, dwelling, spending, the likelihood of remodeling bathrooms, hours spent on senior care, and size of communities. Next, we combined the indices to create a weighted propensity score to measure the similarity of consumers in a 6-digit postal code to the target criteria.
