Let’s kick off this new year by predicting the next.

You may say, “Ba Humbug, a year’s too far ahead to predict.” Not true, fruitcake! For many businesses, predictive analytics rides upon seasonal cycles, learning from last year’s results in order to better target this year.

And annual campaigns for seasonal mail-order catalogs – as well as some non-profits’ fundraising – are driven by last year’s results as well.

But, alas, Scrooge got it right for the most part. In most deployments of predictive analytics, immediate customer responses are predicted, or near-term customer attrition is targeted for retention. By predicting just in time, your business takes the optimal action with each customer.

Check out these relevant case studies coming to PAW-09:

Telecommunications – churn: Telenor

Finance – reponse: Charles Schwab

Non-profit – fundraising: NRA
