different customer categories and regions.
3. Key Metrics

Corporate clients contributed the largest share of orders, indicating a strong B2B
performance. Small Businesses had the least engagement, signaling a potential area for
growth or reevaluation.
Air-based shipping indicates a preference for faster delivery, likely valued by Corporate and
Home Office segments.
8. Recommendations
1. Invest more in the Corporate segment through loyalty programs or bulk discounts.
2. Evaluate outreach to Small Businesses — investigate whether pricing, product fit, or
marketing is limiting growth.
3. Enhance air logistics, as it's the preferred shipping method.
4. Continue expanding data over future years to identify more long-term trends.
