In this study, by making customer basket analysis of a company operating in the retail sector, to organize suitable campaigns for the customers has been aimed and sales amounts of campaign items have been predicted before the campaign. The association rules for the items purchased by the customers has been obtained by using the Apriori algorithm. Sales amounts of associated items have been predicted with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). For prediction process with ANN, MATLAB-NNTOOL toolbox has been used. With these prediction process, sales amounts of the campaign items offered to the customers have been determined and an idea about the success of campaign success has been obtained. In the study, 34 months sales data has been considered.
