Generating Retail Cohorts From Retail Data
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for generating retail cohorts, the computer implemented method comprising:
- responsive to receiving retail data derived from a plurality of retail customers, processing the retail data to form digital retail data, wherein the digital retail data comprises metadata describing a set of retail patterns associated with one or more customers in the plurality of retail customers, and wherein the set of retail patterns form a set of retail attributes for cohort generation;
analyzing the digital retail data using cohort criteria to identify a set of retail cohorts based on the set of retail attributes, wherein the cohort criteria specifies at least one retail attribute from the set of retail attributes for each cohort in the set of retail cohorts; and
generating the set of retail cohorts, wherein each member of the set of retail cohorts is selected from the plurality of retail customers, wherein the each member of a cohort in the set of retail cohorts has the at least one retail attribute in common.

Abstract
The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating retail cohorts. In an illustrative embodiment, retail data derived from a population of retail customers is received and processed to form digital retail data. The digital retail data includes metadata describing a set of retail patterns associated with one or more customers in the population of retail customers. The set of retail patterns form a set of retail attributes for cohort generation. The digital retail data is analyzed using cohort criteria to identify a set of retail cohorts based on the set of retail attributes. The cohort criteria specify at least one retail attribute from the set of retail attributes for each cohort in the set of retail cohorts. Thereafter, a set of retail cohorts are generated. The retail cohorts have members selected from the population of retail customers, and have the at least one retail attribute in common.
