Extracting accurate demographics using only the names of 80,000 customers
Since its inception, a New-York-based skincare start-up is achieving triple-digit growth using data-driven decision making.
After reading about NamSor's in order to gain a deeper insight into his customer base, the CEO decided to experiment with NamSor's gender and origin/ethnicity segmentation on its customer list and discovered an unexpected and data-supported view of its actual demographics.
Using the proprietary NamSor AI/machine learning algorithms, analysis of the company’s sales using only first and last names uncovered critical data-points:
- Contrary to survey-based industry reports indicating the market segment had an 80%/20% female to male user ratio, NamSor's proprietary models revealed the customer base had a nearly 50%/50% gender distribution ;
- NamSor data on the consumers' origin, race/ethnicity brought other interesting insights that contradicted initial assumptions. It generated new thoughts and ideas on how to best market the product ;
- The analysis was conducted securely using only first names, last names (for NamSor API) and ZIP (for NamSorML) without the company revealing any other data.
Analysis of online comments :
The company set-up a dashboard to analyze the comments of online shoppers, listen to the social media on citations of the brand name, with segments provided by NamSor:
- By gender;
- By cultural origin/diaspora according to NamSor rich taxonomy;
- By ‘race’ or ’ethnicity’ according to US Census taxonomy.
The dashboard brought interesting insights on the consumer sentiment towards the brand, as well as their specific concerns.
