Retail Analytics Best Practices

For retail analytics, basket analysis can provide valuable insights. By analyzing which products are frequently purchased together, you can optimize store layouts, promotions, and cross-selling strategies, ultimately increasing average transaction value and customer satisfaction.

Narrative BI leverages AI to automatically surface key patterns and unexpected findings in your Retail data, ensuring you don’t miss out on critical opportunities or hidden issues. By adopting these best practices, you can transform raw data into actionable insights that drive better business outcomes.

  • Leverage Retail data: You can find all the answers to your questions in the Retail data, and the best practitioners of Retail analytics use that data to identify trends and better understand patterns.
  • Use visualization tools: Visualizations such as charts and graphs are common in BI software, as they are essential for understanding data and making informed decisions. You can easily visualize your Retail data using the AI Chart Generator tool in AI Data Analyst.
  • Track KPIs: Tracking key performance indicators helps you measure your Retail performance and identify areas for improvement. Most successful businesses have adopted weekly/daily KPI summaries, comparing the latest metrics to those from the prior period. You can easily automate this process by using Narrative BI’s Tracking Tools.
  • Prioritize your goals: Not everything that can be measured should be measured. There are a lot of Retail data available for analysis, but you should start by identifying high-priority opportunities that can have an immediate impact on the business. You can specify your key metrics in the Narrative BI’s Reporting Tool.

Narrative BI is well suited for SME's!

Narrative firstly is a great tool for beginners in marketing analytics - it allows all of our team - even non-technical / analytical get involved! As Mark Ritson said, 'The average is the enemy of the marketer' and Narrative helps us fight that battle every day. Instead of wading through averages, we can spot and evaluate the outliers, the true insights.

Narrative BI helps me view and act on tons of customer data points easily.

There’s a lot of customer data in the internal analytics tools, but it’s not actionable for our product team. You have to spend a lot of time to detect unexpected user behavior. Narrative BI helps me understand our users better and now it’s easier to decide which features we should optimize next.

Encapsulates Marketing + Advertising Performance Data to Work Smarter, Not Harder

Google Analytics is ultra-powerful when it comes to managing our clients’ MarTech stacks, but it’s easy to get lost in the overwhelming amount of data there. Narrative has given us a way to get “just the good stuff”, and the most important metrics we need for making daily decisions on behalf of my agency’s clients from Analytics to Ad Spends. The condensed insights we get from Narrative are incredibly helpful, and now indispensable in our daily mix of tools.
