Bayesian Analysis
Urban One wants to determine the probability that a customer is a streaming subscriber when they click on a digital advertisement.
Assume:
Prior Data
P(Stream)=250/1200=0.208
Probability customer is a streaming subscriber:
P(S)=0.208
Probability customer clicks advertisement:
P(C)=0.30
Probability subscriber clicks advertisement:
P(C∣S)=0.60
Bayes' Theorem
P(S∣C)=(P(C∣S)×P(S))/(P(C))
P(S∣C)=(0.60×0.208)/0.30
P(S∣C)=0.416
Interpretation
A consumer who clicks an Urban One advertisement has a 41.6% probability of being a streaming subscriber.
Recommendation
Urban One should use Bayesian marketing models to:
Predict customer conversion behavior
Improve ad targeting
Increase streaming subscriptions
Optimize advertising spending
