Do you understand the value of long-term customer relationship?

If you think the primary performance driver of your business is ROI, then what about the returns you get from customers not only today, but throughout your customer’s lifetime?

Identifying high value customers plays a big hand in retaining customers that count! 

By calculating customer value, you will be able to analyze previous investments and gain a better understanding on future marketing investments.  

As customer retention is far better and cost effective than acquisition, customer value should precede customer acquisition. To create customer value, you need to constantly reinvent, refine and evolve customer experience and service.

By understanding your customers’ lifetime value:

• You can get to know what customers want,

• You can get better at giving customers what they want,

• Customers will get better at staying with you.

It is possible to create your own generation of high value customers by constantly surpassing your customers’ expectations through value.  As visionary Steve Jobs beautifully stated, “If I’d asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, ‘A faster horse!’” People don’t know what they want until you show it to them. That’s why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.”

Customer value is more than knowing the lifetime period; it is about providing an everlasting experience. Don’t Just “Do The Math”, Understand Customer Lifetime Value

Are You Plugged Into Your Customers’ World in this Connection Economy Era?

In this age of Connection Economy, can you identify…

• WHO your high value customers are?
• WHAT their preferences and characteristics are?
• WHEN the right time is to connect with customers?
• WHERE to find them?
• WHY you need to connect with them strategically?
• HOW do you communicate with this customer group?

Answering these questions is the best way to identify your high value customer group. The returns you aim to get from customers should not be limited to only today, but throughout your customer’s lifetime.

Marketers are very well aware that customer acquisition is a far more expensive affair than retention. In order to retain high value customers, there should be constant reinvention, refinement and evolution in customer service and the experience it creates.

Knowing your customer lifetime value helps in:

• Understanding what your customers want
• Identifying which customer segments to invest in further
• Determining which product and services need to be offered and promoted to specific segments
• Finding new markets and customers to target
• Adjusting pricing strategies to gain maximum value
• Identifying dormant or ‘unprofitable’ customers that you should focus less on
• Establishing investment areas which are not generating growth

Your most valuable customer need not be the one who pays you the most. They are those customers who are loyal and satisfied, who believe in your brand and become brand ambassadors.  Customer loyalty is one the primary ways of increasing value and segmentation is the way you can identify those high value prospects and customers.
