Paper For Above instruction

The analysis of Pelican Stores' customer transaction data offers valuable insights into consumer behavior and the effectiveness of targeted promotional strategies. Using pivot tables in Excel, the specified tasks facilitate understanding the distribution of sales across different payment methods, customer types, age groups, and marital statuses—each critical for strategic decision-making.

The first visualization task involves illustrating the number of customer purchases attributable to each payment method. By utilizing a bar chart or pie chart, the store management can quickly identify the most popular payment options—such as proprietary cards, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express. Understanding payment preferences helps tailor marketing messages, optimize payment infrastructure, and develop targeted promotional offers that align with customer habits. Research indicates that credit card popularity varies based on demographic factors, which further underscores the importance of visualizing data in an accessible format (Kumar & Reinartz, 2016).

The second task centers on creating a crosstabulation of customer type—regular versus promotional—and their associated net sales. This analysis aims to evaluate whether the promotional campaign effectively motivated additional spending. Cross-tabulations in Excel reveal if promotional customers tend to generate higher sales, which supports the marketing goal of incentivizing purchases through discounts. Past studies demonstrate that targeted discounts can significantly influence consumer spending patterns, especially among loyal or habitual customers, thereby increasing overall revenue (Lichtenstein et al., 2018).

To explore the relationship between net sales and customer age, an appropriate visualization involves scatter plots or line graphs. These visual tools help identify if certain age groups tend to purchase higher-value items or generate more sales. Such insights enable store managers to fine-tune marketing strategies, offering age-specific promotions or loyalty programs, aligning promotional efforts with demographic trends. Data on age-related consumer behavior align with findings in retail analytics literature, which highlight age as a significant predictor of purchasing power and shopping preferences (Rust & Zhang, 2000).

The fourth task extends this analysis by examining whether the relationship between net sales and age depends on the marital status of customers. Creating a comparative chart, such as side-by-side box plots segmented by marital status, allows for observing variations within demographic groups. For example, married customers might demonstrate higher spending levels or different shopping patterns compared to single customers. Understanding how marital status interacts with age and spending behavior can inform personalized marketing campaigns aimed at specific customer segments, ultimately enhancing customer loyalty and retention (Ailawadi & Kumar, 2009).

Overall, these data-driven visualizations provide the Pelican Stores management with a comprehensive understanding of their customer base. The insights gained enable more targeted marketing, better resource allocation, and refined promotional strategies, thus contributing to the store chain’s competitive advantage. Proper application and analysis of such data are integral to modern retail success, especially in a competitive market environment where personalized customer experiences define brand loyalty.
