6. Analysis Example 1
Electronics retailer
Interested in effects of a digital cameras
promotion on sales of other products
Affinity Insight might show:

also buys a spare battery
This was true in the past, independent of whether digital
cameras were on promotion or not
Conclusion
A promotion on digital cameras will also increase battery
sales by an amount that can be well estimated

7. Analysis Example 2
Drug store chain
Wants to define a new minimum assortment for all their stores
Approach: Mainly driven by lists of “top seller” items
Affinity Insight might show:
Certain premium products don’t have a strong direct
contribution to over-all sales and profit, but they are
often bought together with other high-value items in
very profitable market baskets
Conclusion
Reducing the assortment without taking into account the
market basket view may put business with the most
profitable customers at risk
Understand better how certain products indirectly contribute to your sales
across the whole assortment

8. Analysis Example 3
Do-it-yourself store chain
Considering a major change in store layouts
Affinity Insight might show:
Certain departments are represented together in the
same market baskets more often than others
The products in some departments tend to be
purchased alone or in small baskets
Conclusion
This information may be used to allow customers shorter,
more convenient ways through the store, or guide them on
ways that improve drag-along sales
