• Abstract: Product line extension is a marketing strategy that enhances a company's sphere of influence. Because excessive line extensions disrupt brand image, only appropriate line extensions based on consumer needs are desirable. Marketers should know the key consumer attributes of the primary customers for new line-extended products before companies enter the market. This paper describes a method for predicting changes in consumer attributes for new line-extended products using a novel deep learning model. The proposed model, Conditional Tabular Variational Auto-Encoder (CTVAE), generates synthetic data from large-scale tabular data of consumers and products. It can provide various implications about effective product line marketing for marketers. The experimental results demonstrate that the CTVAE offers superior prediction performance than existing models. We indicate implications for new products that change containers or flavors for effective product line marketing. The proposed approach has the potential to contribute to avoiding cannibalization and to designing product images and marketing strategies.

  We develop a forecasting model, the Fashion Demand Predictor, which integrates Transformer-based models and Random Forest to predict market popularity based on product images. We validate these results through surveys that gather human rankings of preferences. We show that products enhanced with "good" features show marked improvements in predicted popularity over their modified counterparts.

  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.

  A common goal for companies marketing is to maximize the return revenue/profit by utilizing the various effective marketing strategies. Finding credible and reliable information on products' profitability is difficult since most products tends to peak at certain times. This paper proposes a general profit-oriented framework to address the problem of revenue based on economic behavior, and conducting the 0n-shelf Popular and most Profitable Products (OPPPs) for the targeted marketing.
