Abstract
The promotional campaign ran by Pelican Stores turned out to be a success. The goal of
the campaign was for Pelican’s management to learn about its customer base and evaluate the
promotion involving discount coupons. By running the promotion, Pelican realized $5,900.30
in revenue that they would not usually have. This is 317% more sales than they would have
made during the same period without the promotion. The data collected revealed that the sales
made were 70% promotional and only 30% were regular customers. Also, 93% of the
purchases were made by females. The payment mode was 100% credit cards; however, 70%
was charged to the propriety card. Also, 84% of the sales were made by married customers, of
which 80% are females from both promotional and regular customers. More than half the
customers purchased one or two items, while 44% of the shoppers purchased three or more
items.
