The author does a comprehensive job of building knowledge frameworks to explain how analytics can be used for marketing datasets. Bonus stars on providing code for both R and Python. Covers a lot of ground that will be useful to brands operating in the retail, D2C space. Was personally looking to study the theory of attribution models and market mix models which was not sufficiently detailed in this edition. Hope the authors can address this in their subsequent revisions.

This book comes paired with a GitHub repo with all the code. However, the code depends on the data which is nowhere to be found in the repo. I have no interest in going to 70 different links, downloading the data, and putting it in the right folder per chapter just to follow along. Huge waste of time, if I could give this a negative rating I would. Save yourself hours and go find another option. I genuinely cannot believe this was ever approved for publishing in this manner

Easily a book that could have been a five-star contender, unfortunately, there are some shortcomings.Overall, the text is a fine (but basic) introduction to data science through applications of common marketing analytics to problems such as: engagement, conversion, retention, churn, recommendations, forecasting, segmentation, experimentation, lifetime value, etc.What it does well is that it provides exposure to a wide range of applications of data science techniques to some pretty good datasets that somewhat replicate what you'd see out in the wild. The author also shows some data manipulation and aggregation techniques that I was not familiar with, like the use of "Groupers" combined with timestamp resampling inside of "group_by" operations. His notebooks are all neatly organized in the book's repo and the code is very readable.From here on out, the book is a bit of a letdown. The most salient of its shortcomings involves the depth (or lack thereof) of its exposition when it comes to the technique or algorithm being discussed. There are a couple of simple formulas here and there and very short explanations of what the algorithms are doing behind the scenes. I guess that's ok if it is meant to be an intro and not a full-fledged encyclopedia, however, I cannot overlook the sidestepping of common pitfalls and best-practices when it comes to leveraging these techniques in other places.For instance, in chapter 6 (collaborative filtering) the author walks the reader through the application of user-user and item-item collaborative filtering using unary matrices and cosine distances, without mention of assumptions made of the data (you need a lot), on the shortcoming of the technique (collaborative filtering doesn't work well for new users or new items), why you'd want one vs. the other (user-user CF is much more computationally expensive than item-item since one is more likely to have more users than items), or why you'd use cosine distance vs. Pearson (mean centering), etc. This is pretty much the case in each section.There are some editing quibbles as well. Chapters 5, 7, and 8 are pretty much rehashed from earlier chapters, so there's no reason why the material couldn't have been consolidated.Also, I wonder what the folks at Packt were thinking in packing essentially the same book twice into the same print - one for R and one for Python. If you are a Python user, then half of the book is dead-weight (the R chapters and vice-versa). Why not have "Hands-On Data Science for Marketing with Python" and "Hands-On Data Science for Marketing with R"?I have no issues recommending this book to students in an introductory class as long as there's some adult supervision. I'd be slightly concerned that the exposition nonchalance might lead some practitioners into thinking data science is just a couple of one-liners and boilerplate API calls...

Perhaps I am a bit bias because I've read other Data Science books but it lacks color, page design, and overall the descriptions are not robust. It feels like a compilation of low quality posts from Towards Data Science. It seems Python and R portions should two different books, it's way too redundant. Not sure whether if I should return this or just power through the book.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
