移动渠道与PC渠道客户购买率与流失率差异

An Empirical Study of Purchase Rate and Dropout Rate Between Mobile and PC Customers

基于移动渠道的特征,拓展了客户关系管理领域具有代表性的BG/NBD模型。通过在模型中引入协变量,分析不同交叉购买行为下移动客户和传统线上客户在购买率和流失率上的差异。进一步,以2012~2014年京东商城19189名客户购买数据为分析单位,对拓展模型进行估计和分析。结果表明:移动客户的购买率显著高于传统线上客户的购买率,而且移动客户的流失率也显著低于传统线上客户的流失率。同时发现,交叉购买行为对上述关系具有显著的调节作用:在有交叉购买行为的情况下,移动客户与传统线上客户无论是在购买率还是流失率上的差异比没有交叉购买行为下的差异更显著。

In the mobile Internet era,one critical question for marketers is whether the purchase behavior of mobile customers is different from that of PC customers.To address this issue,this paper extends the classical BG/NBD model in customer relationship management,and studies the impact of adopting mobile e-commerce on customer purchase rate and dropout rate.It also examines the moderating effect of customer cross-buying behavior.An empirical analysis of a sample of 19189 customers from the leading online B2C platform JD.com in China indicates that mobile customers have a higher purchase rate and a lower dropout rate after the adoption of the mobile channel,and cross-buying enhances both effects.This paper provides important managerial implications for mobile commerce and customer relationship management in the mobile internet era.
