16. Definition of customer relationship management
• A discipline in marketing combining database and computer
technology with customer service and marketing
communications.
• Customer relationship management seeks to create more
meaningful one-on-one communications with the customer by
applying customer data (demographic, industry, buying history, etc.)
to every communication channel.
• At the simplest level, this would include personalizing e-mail or other
communications with customer names.
• At a more complex level, CRM enables a company to produce a
consistent, personalized marketing communication whether the
customer sees an ad, visits a Web site, or calls customer service.

CLVi = Ai + ∑(CMIit – CMOit) .
t=0
1+r
CLVi = Customer lifetime value of customer i
Ai = Present value of investment for acquisition of customer i until t=0
t = Time in years (t=0: start of business relationship)
CMIit = Customer related monetary incomes for customer i and year t
CMOit= Customer related monetary outcomes for customer i and year t
r = Annual interest rate for evaluation of customer related costs of capital

Costs for banner advertising in the Internet 100,000 EUR
Thereby generated clicks (on homepage) 12,000
Thereof buyers 800
Acquisition costs per customer 125 EUR
Average initial order value per customer 180 EUR
Thereof contribution margin (CM rate 40%) 72 EUR
Initial investment per customer (since costs > revenues) -53 EUR
Average purchasing Contribution margin
Period Rate of repeat buyers CM rate

1st year 60 % 150 EUR 40 % 36.00 EUR
2nd year 48 % 175 EUR 40 % 33.60 EUR
3rd year 30 % 220 EUR 40 % 26.40 EUR
With interest rate of 20 %

20. CRM – Sources of customer value
Sources of customer value
Basically quantifiable Hard to quantify
 Purchase quantity  Reference potential (gaining of new
 Willingness to pay (payment of prices customers via recommendation / word-
above average)
 Customer support coefficient(reduction of-mouth propaganda)
of marketing costs)  Information potential
 Cross-selling potential (customer as market research object)
 Duration of customer relationship
! But:
 Long lasting customers not necessarily provide an improved marketing efficiency
or a higher willingness to pay.

40. Apple
Why is it so successful?
„Importantly, iPod innovation was not a one-hit wonder, but a series
of „episodes‟. Each has packed a punch that combines superior
functionality, ease of use and aesthetic appeal.
The first iPod offered a step-change in storage capacity, the iTunes Store
made online music-buying much easier and iPod Photo has expanded the
device's functionality, and so the list goes on.”
