• Title: Personalized Promotion Decision Making Based on Direct and Enduring Effect Predictions
• Authors: Jie Yang, Yilin Li, Deddy Jobson
• Abstract summary: We propose a framework of multiple treatment promotion decision making by modeling each customer's direct and enduring response. First, we propose a customer direct and enduring effect (CDEE) model which predicts the customer direct and enduring response. With the help of the CDEE, we personalize incentive allocation to optimize the enduring effect while keeping the cost under the budget.

• Abstract: Promotions have been trending in the e-commerce marketplace to build up customer relationships and guide customers towards the desired actions. Since incentives are effective to engage customers and customers have different preferences for different types of incentives, the demand for personalized promotion decision making is increasing over time. However, research on promotion decision making has focused specifically on purchase conversion during the promotion period (the direct effect), while generally disregarding the enduring effect in the post promotion period. To achieve a better lift return on investment (lift ROI) on the enduring effect of the promotion and improve customer retention and loyalty, we propose a framework of multiple treatment promotion decision making by modeling each customer's direct and enduring response. First, we propose a customer direct and enduring effect (CDEE) model which predicts the customer direct and enduring response. With the help of the predictions of the CDEE, we personalize incentive allocation to optimize the enduring effect while keeping the cost under the budget. To estimate the effect of decision making, we apply an unbiased evaluation approach of business metrics with randomized control trial (RCT) data. We compare our method with benchmarks using two promotions in Mercari and achieve significantly better results.

  OFOS platforms offer dynamic allocation incentives to users and merchants to encourage payments. We propose a Constrained Monotonic Adaptive Network (CoMAN) method for robustness-temporal perception within marketing pricing efficiency. Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach while outperforming the monotonic state-of-the-art method.

  We propose a novel client selection strategy designed to emulate the performance achieved with full client participation. In a single round, we select clients by minimizing the gradient-space estimation error between the client subset and the full client set. In multi-round selection, we introduce a novel individual fairness constraint, which ensures that clients with similar data distributions have similar frequencies of being selected.

  We consider a dynamic model with the consumers' preferences as well as price sensitivity varying over time. We measure the performance of a dynamic pricing policy via regret, which is the expected revenue loss compared to a clairvoyant that knows the sequence of model parameters in advance. Our regret analysis results not only demonstrate optimality of the proposed policy but also show that for policy planning it is essential to incorporate available structural information.

  We develop a hybrid interpretable model to analyse 454,897 online customers' behavior for a particular product category at the largest online retailer in China, that is JD. Our results reveal that customers' product choice is insensitive to the promised delivery time, but this factor significantly impacts customers' order quantity. We identify product classes for which certain discounting approaches are more effective and provide recommendations on better use of different discounting tools.
