Predictive models analyze past behavior and patterns to make future predictions. They typically involve several steps:
1. Data Collection: Gathering historical data from various sources such as purchase history, website behavior, and email engagement metrics. 2. Data Cleaning: Ensuring the data is accurate and free from errors. 3. Feature Selection: Identifying relevant variables that will influence the model's predictions. 4. Model Building: Using machine learning algorithms to create the predictive model. 5. Validation: Testing the model against a separate data set to ensure its accuracy. 6. Deployment: Implementing the model to make predictions and guide email marketing strategies.
