Project Background & Motivation
The evolvement of technology has introduced companies to leverage onto online platforms for customers to have the option of going online to meet their purchasing needs. In 2015, 82% of the Singapore population accesses the internet and online customers represents 41% of the population, according to Nielsen’s report. As companies realise the potential of the e-commerce field, they are increasingly establishing online sites for their customers and Kaiso Ticketing is one of them.
Kaiso Ticketing launched its online ticketing site on 2016 that allows registered customers to book tickets online. The online ticketing site allows customers to purchase tickets for concert and musical performances. This site is an addition to the company’s phone ticketing lines, as part of its remote ticketing services. The online ticketing site serves to be a more convenient option for customers than its predecessors. The phone ticketing service requires customers to make a call and book a ticket through the hotline while the internet ticketing allows customers to login, select options for their ticketing on the website and submit the booking.
With the inclusion of this new initiative, Kaiso Ticketing is interested to understand the difference in the customer’s ticketing behaviour before and after the launch. This insight will serve great use to the customer engaging units to understand the characteristics of their customers and engage them better in the future marketing campaigns.
In attracting the e-commerce market, companies sprout up to introduce online platforms as part of their existing services. For most companies, it has been a successful move and brought in a great array of customer base that the company never had before. While it makes sense that the new customer base will bring in new types of behavioural patterns, it is interesting to notice that existing customers also had a change in ticketing patterns. With the use of big data analytics and visualisation, menial transaction data becomes a surprise box of customer trends and our group is eager to unveil these surprises.
Project Objectives
This project aims to analyse customer purchasing behaviours and design a dashboard to assist Kaiso Ticketing’s customer engaging teams in coming up with better marketing strategies. The main questions that we aim to answer are when do customers purchase, what do they purchase and how much do they purchase.
Thus, our main objectives are:
- To understand the differences in customer behaviour before and after the launch of the online ticketing site and propose appropriate recommendations
- To analyse the behavioral patterns of the new customers from the online ticketing site
