Join Theta co-founder Dan McCarthy and Theta data scientist Jingjing Fan as they share insights from a recent in-depth analysis of four major e-commerce companies (Wish, Shein, Etsy, and Amazon) using credit card transaction data from Earnest Analytics and Theta’s best-in-class Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) models. Through the review of analysis across all four companies, this webinar will share how companies can:

  • Significantly improve the understanding of trends in post-acquisition value (PAV)
  • Uncover hidden risks that may arise as customers change in quality over time
  • Determine how they are performing relative to their competition
  • Develop optimized action plans that maximize the value of their customer base, driving improved profitability
