What is the lifetime value of customers, and how can marketers maximize it ?
Maximizing customer lifetime value (CLV) focuses on attracting and retaining profitable customers, with the potential for significant profit by 'firing' the least profitable ones. Companies should conduct customer profit analysis using activity-based costing (ABC) to accurately measure costs and allocate resources effectively. CLV serves as a framework for long-term investment planning, with estimations typically based over a 3-5 year timeframe.
