Predict propensity to buy items from specific brands
You can use the Predictions module to calculate the probability of customers buying items from a particular brand. The results can be used for better targeting of your marketing efforts.
In this use case, we present a prediction that returns the probability of purchase if the item matches one of two brands selected for the analysis. If you want to create a prediction for only one brand, you will need to skip a few steps in the instructions.
Prerequisites
- Enable the Propensity prediction type.
- The item catalog must include information about item brand and that attribute must be added to filterable attributes.
Creating the prediction
- Go to
> New prediction and select Propensity as the prediction type. - Select an audience for the prediction.
For more information, see the Predictions quick start article.

In this section, you define the brands for which you want to calculate the prediction. This is done by creating a filter that will limit the calculation to items that match one of the selected brands
- In the Item feed section, click Define.
- Click Choose item feed.
- Select the catalog that contains the items you want to make the prediction for.
Result: the Item filter section appears. - Click Define item filter.

What’s next
After the calculation is completed, a snr.propensity.score event is saved in the profiles of each customer in the audience. The event data includes detailed results of the prediction.
Based on the snr.propensity.score event, you can create segmentations of customers with different propensity and use those segmentations as campaign targets:
Email, SMS, web push and mobile push can be sent manually or you can launch them by using the Automation module.
