MBA(Market Basket Analysis)

Market basket analysis identifies customers purchasing habits. It provides insight into the combination of products within a customers 'basket'.

The term 'basket' normally applies to a single order. However, the analysis can be applied to other variations.

Ultimately, the purchasing insights provide the potential to create cross sell propositions:

  • Which product combinations are bought
  • When they are purchased; and in
  • What sequence

Developing this understanding enables businesses to promote their most profitable products. It can also encourage customers to buy items that might have otherwise been overlooked or missed.
