Kaufhäufigkeit

Kaufhäufigkeit, often translated as purchase frequency, is a key metric in retail and marketing that measures how often a customer or a group of customers buys a specific product or service within a given period. This metric is crucial for understanding customer loyalty, the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, and for forecasting sales. Analyzing Kaufhäufigkeit allows businesses to identify their most frequent buyers, who are often the most valuable customers. It also helps in segmenting customers based on their purchasing behavior.

A high Kaufhäufigkeit for a product might indicate strong customer satisfaction, brand loyalty, or that the product is a necessity or frequently used consumable. Conversely, a low Kaufhäufigkeit could signal issues with product appeal, pricing, availability, or customer retention strategies. Businesses use this data to tailor promotions, loyalty programs, and product development efforts. For example, a company might offer discounts for repeat purchases to increase Kaufhäufigkeit or introduce new products to customers who already have a high frequency of buying related items. This metric is typically tracked over defined intervals such as weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually.
