Recommendation
- Rockbuster has 600 customers in 109 countries. It is a great opportunity to grow as an online service. Next step would be to introduce a subscription-based rental program; however, further analysis is required to plan to find the most effective monthly fee to beat the competitors.
- To start the pilot service, we would recommend the top-3 revenue makers, which are the following countries: India, China, and the US.
- We suggest the marketing team to provide promotions within popular countries with highest number of customers; India, China, the United States, Japan, and Mexico.
Challenges and Limitations
Complicated database structure and dependencies which lead to complex SQL queries which are prone to error.
