“ Customer centricity is a strategy that aligns a company’s development and delivery of its products and services with the current and future of a select group of customers in order to maximize their long-term financial value to the firm”
Confidential & Proprietary
“ Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) is the present value of the future (net) cash flows associated with a particular customer “

How does CLV look like in reality?
For each customer you typically estimate lifetime profit (discounted in following years).
I’ve found out that for better actionability it is useful to estimate profit for some shorter term: ¼ to 3 years. This should be selected depending on the nature of business when your customer have high probability of repurchasing.
Also, you typically calculate CLV each month/week/day in order to see how your predictions evolve.
Confidential & Proprietary
How does CLV look like in reality?
Your monthly calculations for each customer. Naturally, CLV models change when customer purchases and “fade out” the value when the customer is inactive.
Confidential & Proprietary
Main areas where online marketers can benefit from CLV
Theoretically:
➔ Customer Acquisition - Expansion - Support - Retention➔ Direct Campaigns➔ Customer Intelligence (CRM, managerial reporting)
Ideas of use cases like those mentioned on The Wise Marketer, on Econsultancy and Custora are nice, but lack details.
Confidential & Proprietary
1) Customer AcquisitionHow much can we afford to pay for a new customer? What is the true value per acquisition? Should that differ from CPA / ROAS targeting?
What products drive higher CLV?
How fast can we estimate CLV for a fresh user/customer?
When can we compare CAC and Historical Profit + CLV?
Confidential & Proprietary
2) Customer ExpansionFor what segments of customers should we increase/decrease marketing activities (/costs)? When?
When can we push marketing efforts on fresh customers?
What is the impact of (up|x)-selling on CLV?
What less profitable customers should we remove from mailing?
What if CLV estimation rises?
Confidential & Proprietary
3) Customer SupportWho can (not) be given a discount?
Who should wait in a queue for a support?
Should we give a customer a gift or an exclusive deal?
Confidential & Proprietary
4) Customer RetentionHow much can we afford to pay to retain a customer and still being profitable?
What to do when CLV estimation drops?
How to treat customers with low or negative CLV?
Should we give incentives when CLV rises?
Confidential & Proprietary
5) Direct Campaign EvaluationDecide which customers by CLV to select for a campaign.
Can we get top 10% customers by CLV?
Use ratio of CLV as max costs per campaign.
Evaluate campaign by change in CLV.
Confidential & Proprietary
6) Customer Intelligence and managerial reporting of your customer base
How does CLV/Customer Equity evolve? For various companies, markets, customer types, segments of customers.
How well can we forecast sales?
What activities can you do to support the growth?
Where will high profits come from? What are profit drivers?

Causality Uplift
Orderly procedure carried out with the goal of verifying, refuting or establishing a hypothesis
Experiments that provide insight into cause-and effect by demonstrating what outcome occurs when a particular factor is manipulated
Refers to any of a broad class of statistical relationships involving dependence, which is any statistical relationship between two random variables or two sets of data
The relation between an event (the cause) and a second event (the effect), where the second event is understood as a consequence of the first
Usually defined as the difference in response rate between a treated group and a randomized control group, allowing marketers to isolate the effect of a marketing action and measure the effectiveness or otherwise of that action

Are you relying on correlations, or can you base decisions on measured causal impact?
