What is it about?

We develop a dynamic model that has the cyclical structure of customer segments through customer experience. We use time-series data on the number of members of the loyalty program “Seven Mile Program,” and confirm the validity of the approximate calculation of customer segment share, customer segment sales share, and aggregate sales performance. We present three medium-term forecast scenarios after the launch of a smartphone payment service linked with the loyalty program.
