Abstract
商品種類繁雜、顧客眾多是百貨公司產業特性，也由於這樣的產業特性，使得百貨公司業者很難一對一的與顧客溝通，真正了解每位顧客的需求，並滿足之。現今大多數的百貨公司多採用傳統的顧客關係管理方式，並以價格做為吸引顧客主要因素。此種方式並沒有考慮到消費者之間所存在的異質性，對所有顧客都採用相同的促銷手法，並沒有嘗試去了解顧客內心真正的需求及其偏好結構。
本研究嘗試將資料庫行銷運用於百貨公司的的業態中，以顧客過去的購買紀錄及其基本資料，來進行多種不同的分析，希望能為該業者規劃出合適的資料庫行銷模式，幫助業者與消費進行一對一的溝通，提升行銷方案的效益並改善其賣場的櫃位規劃，使每位顧客都能發揮其最大效益並獲得最大滿足。
本研究進行的分析共有三大項，顧客購買行為分析、專櫃關聯性分析及專櫃推薦系統。在顧客購買行為分析的部分，我們利用多種不同的分析方式包括購買日期特性分析、平均購買期間分析、顧客活躍性及價值分析、顧客平均單日消費專櫃數分析希望能藉此找出每位顧客的輪廓，了解其獨特的購買行為特性，並輔以人口統計變數的資料，以更具體的形式來呈現分析的結果。
在專櫃關聯性分析中包括顧客併買分析，可以協助業者進行交叉銷售(Cross-Selling)；二是顧客回購分析，幫助業者進行持續性銷售(Continuous-Selling)及向上銷售(Up-Selling)。
專櫃推薦系統，依顧客過去的購買組合，找出個人對各種專櫃屬性的偏好係數，進而以預估之總購買金額來衡量對各專櫃之整體評價。業者可依此分析結果，產生特定專櫃之推薦名單，更有效率的進行折價卷之發行及其他促銷組合之規劃。
