Case Study

Linking Customers to a Common Household

Cross Industry Collaboration: Retail and Health & Wellness

Objective

A leading retail grocer partnered with a pharmacy data aggregator to link customers within their base to the same household in order to understand how household consumption differs from individual consumption.

Data for good - Household data

Overview

Recognizing the important role that household make-up plays in understanding customer loyalty and purchasing behavior, a leading grocer collaborated with a pharmacy data aggregator to link customers belonging to the same household.

The pharmacy data aggregator provided household information based on medical insurance purchases. This data was then converted into a unique household identifier.

By linking this identifier with their existing loyalty member data, the grocer gained insights into household structures and their interlinked purchasing patterns.
