Predictive analytics can help you use past data to predict likely future outcomes. While these techniques have long been used in forecasting, risk aversion, and even fraud detection, in the digital world, predictive can be extremely powerful.

These days the amount of digital marketing data and the availability of enormous processing power make the application of predictive analytics in the digital marketing space particularly exciting. It can be used to predict a likely lifetime customer value or the probability of customer loyalty or churn, and predictive techniques can also be used to gain insights into the best ways to allocate marketing budgets or understand the likely effectiveness of potential campaigns.

Check out this month’s Marketing Land column, What can predictive analytics REALLY do?
