Vilfredo Pareto was an Italian engineer, sociologist, economist, political scientist, and philosopher. He theorized that approximately 80% of the land was owned by 20% of the population in Italy. Later, this theory got widely popular as the 80/20 rule, the law of the vital few (or) Pareto Principle. It states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
This Principle can be applied across multiple industries to optimize efforts and generate effective results.
At Gramener we delivered an analytics solution to one of the world’s largest CPG clients. Their problem was to know ways of increasing the advertising efficiency of their products on TV.
We developed a one-stop analytics platform for their marketing team, which helps them explore weekly insights based on the selections made. It helps the team with improved decision-making to advertise their products on TV. During the Data analysis stage, we found some interesting patterns that satisfy the Pareto Principle.
“For a particular State,80% of the Gross Rating Point (GRP) comes from only 20% of the product genres they advertise on TV.”
From the above visual you can infer that only General Entertainment Channel (GEC) and Movies constitute 80% of the GRP. This helps the team focus much on the two genres to increase outcomes and also to optimize the cost spent on other genres.
