    Bookbinders Case 2

    This document presents a case study for Bookbinders Book Club to analyze factors that influence customers' purchase of a book. It introduces two analytical models: 1) a customer choice logit model that predicts customer choices and calculates variable importance, and 2) a linear regression model that examines relationships between variables. The choice model accurately predicts 80% of customers' decisions and finds that age, income, and education positively impact purchases while distance negatively impacts purchases. However, the linear regression model fits the data poorly with only 56% explanation of variance. Overall, the choice model provides better insights for understanding customer purchase decisions in this case.

    INTRODUCTION:

    One of the principles of Database Marketing is you will lose money


    sending a terrific piece of mail to a lousy list, but make money sending a
    lousy piece of mail to a terrific list. With this case, you will learn to
    evaluate DATABASE MARKETING CAMPAIGNS; will be exposed to customer
    choice logit and regression models.
    In this case, Bookbinders Book Club is considering two different methods
    (i.e., customer choice logit model and linear regression model) to
    understand the factors that influence customers order of the book titled
    Art of History of Florence.
    QUESTIONS:
    Q1. Explain what does the statement in the Introduction (in bold and
    italics) mean? Find one or two successful and unsuccessful company
    examples of catalogue/mail marketing? Explain why some are successful
    while others are not. Give one or two examples that are relevant to this
    case.
    Q2. Run the Customer Choice (Logit) Model. On the Diagnosis sheet, the
    response row in Variable Averages table gives the average of each
    variable for the whole sample (i.e., 1600 people). The Variable Averages
    for Chosen Alternatives table gives the average of each variable for two
    groups: those who choose to buy and not to buy the book. Explain
    how the average values characterize each group and how group averages
    are different from the whole sample.

    Q3. Interpret the Confusion Matrix, for how many cases (i.e., respondents)
    does the choice logit model predict their choice accurately? For each cell
    in the matrix, give an exemplary respondent from the Estimation sheet.
    Do you consider this as a successful estimation for the actual dataset?
    Why?

    As shown in above, the confusion matrix shows 80% accuracy. We find this by
    adding the two bold numbers in each column (160+ 1120) and then divide by the
    total number of respondents (1600).
    Q4. Interpret the Coefficient Estimates (i.e., which variables affect
    customer choice significantly?; Based on the significant variables, which of
    them affect customer choice positively and negatively?) Please follow the
    methodology we did in class and do not worry about the green and red
    colors. In answering this question, do not just write down the list of
    variables but try to explain these relationships in meaningful sentences as
    if you are reporting it to your manager!

    Q5. Run a linear regression model on the data. In the regression output,
    find the Coefficients column and interpret the coefficients with their tstatistics (similar to the choice logit model output). Are the relationships
    consistent between two models? Also, report the R-squared value in the
    output and interpret the goodness-of-fit of the regression.

    Shown above is the linear regression model. The r-squared value(highlighted) is .56
    or 56% which does not show a good fit.
    Q6. Based on the insights you gained, summarize the advantages and
    limitations of the customer choice and regression models.
