Trang 2• Computation of Customer Profitability
• Past Customer Value of a customer
Where i = number representing the customer, r = applicable discount rate
n = number of time periods prior to current period when purchase was made
GCin = Gross Contribution of transaction of the i th customer in the n th time period
• Since products/services are bought at different points in time during the customer’s lifetime, all transactions have to be adjusted for the time value of money
• Limitations: Does not consider whether a customer is going to be active in the future Also does not incorporate the expected cost of maintaining the customer in the future

Trang 3Spending Pattern of a Customer
The above customer is worth $302.01 in contribution margin, expressed in net present value in May dollars By comparing this score among a set of customers a prioritization
is arrived at for directing future marketing efforts

Trang 5Calculation of Lifetime Value: Simple Definition
where LTV = lifetime value of an individual customer in $, CM = contribution margin, = interest rate, Rr = retention rate, so Rrt=survival rate for t periods
• LTV is a measure of a single customer’s worth to the firm
• Used for pedagogical and conceptual purposes

Trang 6LTV: Definition Accounting for Acquisition Cost and Retention Probabilities
Where, LTV = lifetime value of an individual customer in $
Rrk = retention rate
П = Product of retention rates for each time period from 1 to T,
AC = acquisition cost
T = total time horizon under consideration Assuming that T and that the contribution margin CM does not vary over time,

Trang 7To Calculate Customer Lifetime Value
1 You must be able to forecast profit contributions
2 You must understand the cost of marketing
3 You must be able to forecast retention rates of customers (since if the customer has abandoned the firm no profits will flow.)
4 It is possible that customers will “churn.” That is, they may leave and then return later
5 The contribution of a customer may be causally tied to churn and abandonment, making this trickier than it looks
6 You need to understand NPV calculations

Where, LTV = lifetime value of an individual customer i in $, S = Sales to customer i, DC = direct cost of products purchased by customer i, MC = marketing cost of customer i
