for customization Adaptation permit the firm to make sure a seamless integration of the customer experience: consumers don't think about channels and expect their shopping experience to be a business as usual Personalization relies on data, company can extract date to make personalized promotion It means that staff will use buying history of membership to follow & have best promotion to bring more

rule "80-20" Streamlining of sales range It is based on consuming that 80% come form 20% of the root causes 80% of sale come from 20% of customer, 80% sales of membership come from 20 top highest sale member According to Sanders, R (33) In marketing, this regulation is useful when examining the salesforce, products, and customers to see if there is an unusual distribution regarding total sales Even after the most sophisticated analysis of sales territories, the Pareto principle will still apply, again leading management to concentrate on the few accounts that produce the majority of sales However, it must be understood that the Rule of 80/20 is a static concept, based upon empirical observation that was not originally intended to be a rule for action A Pareto diagram is correct at the time the analysis was made, but it does not necessarily hold true over time 20% repeat members (A) 80% REVENU ES Revenue Efficiency of (A) (A) = 80/20 = 80% one-time members (B) 20% REVENU ES Revenue

4/0.25 = 16 Revenue Efficiency A = B x 16 Applying this rule on membership date, company will extract 20% top sale of membership and focus promotion to maximize sale volume Growth 20% existing to 30% As the chart, if 30% repeat shopping, rate will be 77-23 and increase sale 11, 25%, 5% increase 75-25, sale 18, 75%, respectively 7%/73-27/26, 25% 10%.7030/37.50 In case, company optimize group, sale of membership will rise remarkably By giving top sale customers, firm can upgrade customer loyalty and making sure continued business from those customers who are majority of income The fiem can permit client to generate a requested list of products they wish and the prices they’d be happy to pay for those products When it is feasible, offer these items and prices as a reward for customer loyalty Customers realize there are many levels of membership and perks for larger buyers or repeat customers Finding a way to provide this information to top sales members without getting qualified people is a strategy to encourage existing customers to surpass the 20% threshold Cost Benefit Analysis Marketing Tactics Cost Benefit return Print ads 150 mil Approximately reach to 20,000 VIP member
