Understanding Predictable’s Engagement Index Model

Digital marketers are constantly navigating a labyrinth of customer behaviors and interactions. The need to understand these behaviors across various channels is paramount to developing strategies that truly resonate with your audience. This is where Predictable’s Engagement Index Model comes into play. By evaluating customer interactions across channels, it determines how engaged each customer is, providing actionable insights for more targeted and effective marketing efforts.

The Engagement Index Model

What is Customer Engagement?

Customer engagement refers to the frequency of connection between a customer and a brand. Highly engaged customers buy more, promote more, and demonstrate more loyalty. Measuring and understanding this engagement is crucial for any business aiming to foster long-term relationships and drive sustainable growth.

Methodology Behind the Model

Predictable’s Engagement Index Model leverages first party data sources to generate a comprehensive engagement score. The model processes:

• Email Engagement Data
• Web/Pixel Engagement Data

Integration

Integrating Predictable’s Engagement Index Model into marketing strategies and solutions is seamless. Customer engagement scores are automatically populated into any Email Service Provider (ESP), data warehouse, or CDP, with daily updates reflecting ongoing customer behavior. This ensures a brand has marketing strategies that remain current and impactful.

Strategic Segmentation Powered by Engagement

The power of the Engagement Index Model lies in its ability to create segments based on engagement levels, allowing for more precise targeting and personalized marketing strategies. The model categorizes customers into distinct segments:

• Highly Engaged: The top 20% of engaged customers
• Partially Engaged: The middle 60% of engaged customers
• Minimally Engaged: The bottom 20% of engaged customers
• Disengaged: Customers with no engagement during the model scoring window

Smart Segments

Smart Segments are enhanced segments formed by combining model scores with additional customer features. The engagement index model powers the following smart segment:

• Engaged Prospects: Highly engaged non-purchasers

Real-World Applications

The insights gained from the Engagement Index Model can be deployed across various marketing channels to optimize your strategies:

• Email Optimization: Tailor amount of emails sent based on engagement levels to increase open rates and conversions.
• Audience Suppression: Exclude minimally engaged customers from high-cost campaigns to maximize ROI.
• Targeted Offers: Provide exclusive deals to customers based on engagement to foster loyalty and drive repeat purchases.
• Custom Bidding: Adjust bidding strategies based on engagement levels to enhance ad performance.

Proven Success

A high-end home accessories retailer needed to more efficiently segment their email list to drive efficiency. They deployed the Predictable Highly Engaged segment and doubled email open rates, saw a 38x increase in click rate, and a 22x increase in on-site activity versus the historical email campaign averages.
