  The retail industry provides customers with goods or services. Analyzing the purchase behavior of customers is critical for expanding the business. Therefore, managing the repurchase intention of customers is crucial. A sequence of purchase behaviors by each customer constitutes a set of purchase Customer Journeys (purchase CJs), which detail purchase pathways and repurchase behaviors. Purchase CJs are the actual retail transaction data. This study investigated purchase CJs and proposed a purchase funnel called CJ graph (CJG) by measure theory and knowledge space theory with actual retail transaction data. To achieve this objective, a Customer Journey Block (CJB), denoting “touchpoint,” is defined as a series of purchase behaviors during a period and used as the base of this method. Each touchpoint is allotted a measurable function, named Purchase Measure (PM). By integrat.. Read More»
