  • Publication number: 20090012839
    Abstract: To determine brand affiliation, a consumer criterion may be identified. A filtered group of one or more consumers may be created in which each consumer in the filtered group is subject to the consumer criterion. A percentage of consumers in the filtered group of consumers having at least one transaction with a brand of interest may then be determined. A percentage of consumers in a control group of consumers having at least one transaction with the brand of interest may also be determined. A ratio comparing the percentage of consumers in the filtered group to the percentage of consumers in the control group may then be calculated. Based on the calculated ratio, the brand affiliation between the consumer criterion and the brand of interest is determined. This affiliation can be leveraged to target marketing materials for one of the brands to consumers of the second brand.
