The clustering analysis on credit card data to develop customer segmentation and to define marketing strategy Edwisor
1.1 Problem Statement
This case requires trainees to develop a customer segmentation to define
marketing strategy. The sample dataset summarizes the usage behaviour of about
9000 active credit card holders during the last 6 months. The file is at a customer
level with 18 behavioural variables. I found that there are four types of purchase
behaviour so I decided to cluster based on their purchase behaviour.
