Abstract

In an intensively competitive environment of e-commerce, how businesses maintain a good customer loyalty and master the consumption trend of customers have become the key factors for today's business survival. If personalized recommendation is implemented concurrently through bundling or tie-in sales strategies, businesses are likely to increase sales opportunities for their products. Nonetheless, most of the bundling or tie-in sales strategies are business-niche oriented in which the businesses design the product composition and they rarely take into account customer requirement and preferences. Therefore this approach has also failed to offer a prediction and recommendation for customer repurchasing or even to recommend precisely based on the product periodicity. In view of this, with the objective to effectively implement the bundling or tie-in sales strategy into the recommendation system, the study proposes the periodical product bundling -recommendation system (PPB-RS), thereby analyze customer's periodical needs, preferences, and product purchasing periodicity, while taking the product periodicity and preference as reference for product composition of bundling or tie-in sales strategy. The empirical experiment from the study proves the superior performance of PPB-RS.
