clear, often tangible goals. This helps them feel in control and prepared
for the future.

present. They seek delight in how they choose to spend money and are
optimistic about the future.

12. Customer Lifetime Value

• One fifth of your customers are worth more to your business than all the
others
• Customer Lifetime Value Analytics gives us the ability to prioritize budgets,
focus on retaining the right customers, and avoid wasting money and effort
when you roll out targeted promotions
• Need to understand your customers’ future value across multiple
dimensions – current spend, cross-sell potential, loyalty and social clout,
among others.
• This information, combined with Advanced Predictive Analytics, helps
determine a single metric, or dollar number, to more accurately quantify
CLV.
13. The Next Generation of Analytics
• Democratization of analytics
• Leveraging new data types and sources - Semistructured and unstructured
data.
• From big data to fast data, reducing the time between data arriving and

Customer Segmentation allows analysts to understand the landscape of the market in terms of customer characteristics and whether they naturally can be grouped into segments that have something in common.
Customer Acquisition is used to acquire new customers and increase market share, and often involves offering products to a large number of prospects.
Upsell/Cross Sell aim to provide existing customers with additional or more valued products. Upsell is the practice of selling more expensive products, upgrades or add-ons to an existing customer. Cross sell is the practice of selling additional products to existing customers.
Next Product/Recommendation: When a company has many products to offer they have to determine which of those should be offered to a customer based on the existing products the customer owns.
Next Best Communication Channel: Determine the optimal communication channel to reach prospects. Increase response rates, customer satisfaction and ultimately customer retention.
Customer Retention/Loyalty/Churn aim at maintaining and rewarding customer loyalty and reduce customer defection. Reducing churn and building loyalty with retention strategies can significantly help grow your business. In the case of churn, we are looking for customers who will cancel a product within a certain time frame.
Customer Lifetime Value models are used to design programs to appreciate and reward valuable customers. Customer lifetime value represents the expected revenue that is to be earned from the customer over her/his lifetime considering all of the possible products that this customer could purchase.
Product Segmentation allows you to optimize product bundles using product affinity, in most cases using Market Basket Analysis. Market Basket Analysis is used to find product bundles.

Customer segmentation identifies groups of customers that are similar such that when you apply different service approaches to limited number of customer segments; it is the optimum compromise between the benefits of the centralised operations with the individual approach to each customer.
Whether you are looking to determine new product offerings or develop a personalized marketing campaign, customer segmentation is the principal basis for allocating resources and extracting maximum value from both high and low-profit customers. Our experts use both demographic segmentation data and advanced clustering segmentation techniques to:
Conduct market segmentation to unveil meaningful and measurable segments or microsegments according to customers needs, behaviors, demographics and social profiles
Determine the revenue potential of each segment and target segments according to their profit potential and the ability of your company to serve them
Obtain a complete customer profile to help predict future behavior through a 360° customer view
Use target market analysis to tailor products, services, marketing and distribution strategies to match the needs of each segment
Measure performance of each segment and optimize your segmentation approach over time

Next-best-action is the ability to translate all the information you know about a customer into actions or interactions that make sense to the customer, driving long-term customer loyalty and value, while optimizing for business considerations – revenue, cost and profitability.
The principle of next-best-action is a critical step in marketing to individuals. As customers increasingly dictate the terms of their interactions with businesses, it is crucial to make that interaction as personalized and relevant as possible.
Enterprises that aren’t using next-best-action are leaving money on the table: missing opportunities to upsell or early warning signs that a customer will switch to a competitor.

Customer lifetime value (CLV) is the expected value of the future relationship with a given customer. The potential value of a group of customers or of the entire customer base is called customer equity. The calculation of customer lifetime value has four components: lifetime duration, cash in, cash out and the discount rate as illustrated below.
Based on the input data, we build customer micro-segmentation and customer profitability model using homogeneous Markov chains. The CLV model can be used together with a churn model in a matrix to identify the target group eligible for a marketing action, which is usually a contact with a special offer.
