Customer Lifetime Value Models: A literature Survey

Authors

Abstract:

Abstract Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) is known as an important concept in marketing and management of organizations to increase the captured profitability. Total value that a customer produces during his/her lifetime is named customer lifetime value. The generated value can be calculated through different methods. Each method considers different parameters. Due to the industry, firm, business or product, the parameters of CLV may vary. Companies use CLV to segment customers, analyze churn probability, allocate resources or formulate strategies related to each segment. In this article we review most presented models of calculating CLV. The aim of this survey is to gather CLV formulations of past 3 decades, which include Net Present Value (NPV), Markov chain model, probability model, RFM, survival analysis and so on.

Customer Lifetime Value Modeling

Customer lifetime value (LTV) estimation involves two parts: the “survival” probabilities and profit margins. This article describes the estimation of those probabilities using discrete-time logistic hazard models and that of profit margins is based on linear regression. In the scenario when outliers are present among margins, we suggest applying robust regression with PROC ROBUSTREG.

In this paper, we use a hierarchical Bayes...

CUSTOMER CLUSTERING BASED ON FACTORS OF CUSTOMER LIFETIME VALUE WITH DATA MINING TECHNIQUE

Organizations have used Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) as an appropriate pattern to classify their customers. Data mining techniques have enabled organizations to analyze their customers’ behaviors more quantitatively. This research has been carried out to cluster customers based on factors of CLV model including length, recency, frequency, and monetary (LRFM) through data mining. Based on LRFM,...
