Abstract

With the continuous deepening of globalization, cross-border e-commerce has become an important part of global trade. Especially driven by digital payment technology, network technology, industrial upgrading and policy support, China's cross-border e-commerce industry has developed rapidly. This research aims to analyze the sales data of men's footwear on the Amazon platform, understand market trends, user behavior patterns, and product characteristics, and then provide data-supported marketing strategies and operational decisions for e-commerce platforms. We have adopted a variety of data analysis techniques, including data cleaning, ARIMA model prediction, price band analysis, repeat purchase rate analysis, user profiling (RFM model), sentiment analysis and cluster analysis. Through comprehensive analysis of multi-dimensional information such as store sales data, product attributes, market hot words, and user evaluations, market dynamics and user preferences are revealed. We have comprehensively applied a variety of data analysis models and techniques, such as using the ARIMA model for sales prediction, the LDA model for sentiment analysis, and the RFM model combined with cluster analysis to construct a refined user profile. Through in-depth analysis of user transaction behaviors and product attributes, accurate marketing strategies can be provided for e-commerce platforms, enhance user experience, increase user stickiness, and thus achieve business growth and improvement of profitability. At the same time, the research also points out the importance of brand building, supply chain management, risk assessment and other aspects, providing strategic suggestions for the long-term stable development of cross-border e-commerce.
