Partner_salary has some null values

lOMoARcPSD|46636157

Fig1.1 – Missing data fields

• Gender contains 53 null values. It is suggested to keep these records to


avoid losing out on the values for other variables in these records.
Creating a new category is also not suggested as it is only 3% of the
data
• Partner_salary contains 106 missing values. This variable is dependent
upon other two variables which are Marital_status and
Partner_working. Wherever we have Partner_working = ‘Yes’, we
ensured that all the records must mention ‘married’ under
Marital_status column
• Rows where Partner_salary is null, data is obtained from subtracting
Salary from Total_salary
i.e., Partner_salary = Total_salary – Salary
Here we checked that wherever Partner_working = no, the value in
the Partner_salary column would be ‘0’

Checking data consistency

• We checked the unique values of all the categorical data within the dat
a set and found that data under column gender is inconsistent. It cont
ains records that mentions - 'Male' 'Femal' 'Female' nan 'Femle']
• ‘Femal’ and ‘Femle’ were replaced with ‘Female’

for Hatchback and Sedan models has proven effective
o To increase sales of Sedans and Hatchbacks among females, it is
essential to direct marketing campaigns towards females and offer
promotional offers

SUVs among female customers

Common questions

Powered by AI

Given the strong correlation between 'Total Salary' and 'Price', Austo Motor Company could implement strategies that align vehicle pricing tiers with segmented salary brackets. For customers with higher total salaries, premium vehicle models with advanced features can be marketed to leverage their purchasing power. Conversely, for lower salary brackets, offering entry-level or economy vehicles with financing options may increase affordability and purchase appeal. Price-driven promotions and tiered product offerings should be used strategically, catering to specific salary ranges to optimize market coverage and increase sales across demographic levels .

The right-skewed distributions in 'Partner Salary', 'Total Salary', and 'Price' indicate a concentration of lower values and a long tail extending towards higher values. This suggests a larger group with relatively lower partner and total salaries. Consequently, marketing strategies should initially target the larger segment with lower average pricing, while high-priced vehicle promotions can focus on the smaller segment of higher-income individuals. This distribution pattern suggests potential for different segmentation strategies, targeting more affordable models to broader audiences and premium options to affluent sub-groups, optimizing market penetration .

With the average salary approximately $60,000 and the partner salary around $19,000, Austo Motor Company can tailor marketing strategies by segmenting customers based on combined household income. For lower-income groups, promoting entry-level models with favorable financing options may prove attractive. For higher-income groups, focusing on premium vehicle features and luxury add-ons could enhance appeal. By aligning vehicle offerings with income-based consumer needs, the company can effectively target specific financial demographics, optimizing engagement and sales .

The correlation between 'Age' and 'Salary' implies that targeted marketing approaches are essential. Younger consumers with lower salaries may prioritize affordable vehicles, suggesting marketing efforts should focus on economical models and financing solutions. Older consumers, with relatively higher salaries, represent a market for luxury vehicles. Strategies should differentiate product offers and emphasize features appealing to older demographics, such as comfort and technology. Implementing an age-segmented marketing approach can efficiently cater to varied financial capabilities and preferences, enhancing conversion rates and customer satisfaction across diverse consumer segments .

The Austo Motor Company dataset had missing values in the 'Gender' and 'Partner_salary' fields. Gender had 53 null values, and it was suggested not to impute or create a new category due to it comprising only 3% of the data. For 'Partner_salary', which had 106 missing values, missing data was imputed based on the relationship with 'Marital_status' and 'Partner_working'. If 'Partner_working' was 'Yes', records were ensured to reflect 'married' under 'Marital_status'. If 'Partner_salary' was null, it was calculated as 'Total_salary - Salary'. When 'Partner_working' was 'No', 'Partner_salary' was set to '0' .

Austo Motor Company can use insights into gender-specific car preferences to craft targeted marketing campaigns. For males, who show a preference for Sedans and Hatchbacks, campaigns could underscore performance, innovation, and style features. For females, who prefer SUVs, messaging should focus on safety, family-friendliness, and versatility. Tailored digital marketing approaches, personalized offers, and content highlighting gender-specific lifestyle integrations can enhance engagement. Additionally, incentivizing referrals within these groups or bundling related services (e.g., family travel packages with SUVs) can further personalize and boost campaign effectiveness .

Data indicates that individuals without a personal loan tend to spend more on vehicles, suggesting a greater disposable income. Austo Motor Company should consider directing premium vehicle marketing toward such customers, highlighting investment aspects and premium features. For those with personal loans, strategies could emphasize cost-effective alternatives and flexible financing plans. Recognizing loan possession as a behavior indicator allows tailored marketing to align product offerings with customer financial conditions, thus enhancing relevance and purchase likelihood, fostering a deeper market penetration .

The demographic analysis shows a higher number of males and salaried individuals, with most males preferring sedans and hatchbacks and females preferring SUVs. Consequently, marketing strategies should focus on emphasizing Sedans and Hatchbacks to males, highlighting their features and benefits to align with male preferences. For females, strategies should boost SUV sales by addressing lifestyle alignment. Additionally, tailored offers could capitalize on males' existing inclination towards Sedans and Hatchbacks and use promotional incentives to enhance SUV appeal among females. The data hence guides gender and vehicle type-targeted promotions that leverage the demographic purchasing trends .

The observed linear relationships suggest higher salaries, total salaries, and car prices with increasing age. Younger age groups, with lower salaries, might prefer cost-effective vehicle options, such as hatchbacks or entry-level sedans. Marketing strategies should focus on affordability and financing options for these age groups. Conversely, older age groups likely associate with higher financial capacity, justifying marketing premium vehicles like advanced sedans or SUVs by emphasizing luxury and additional features. Tailoring offers and financing solutions by age-based financial capacity can maximize engagement and conversion rates in targeted segments .

Focusing marketing efforts on females could increase vehicle sales, particularly SUVs, as data indicates females prefer SUVs over Sedans and Hatchbacks. On average, females spend more on cars. Enhancing marketing towards females could introduce segmented strategies, such as personalized marketing messages, value-based promotions, and highlighting vehicle versatility and family-friendly features, driving an increase in sales volume and average transaction values. This focus can exploit the untapped potential in female segments, leading to increased overall revenue and profitability while diversifying market reach .
