Customer relationship management (CRM) involves managing interactions with current and future customers to sustain long-term profitability. Companies recognize valuable customers through customer databases recording buying histories and shopping behaviors. Customer lifetime value (CLV) forecasts sales from a customer over time, considering acquisition costs versus retention. CLV is calculated as the average sale value multiplied by annual repeat purchases multiplied by retention time in months or years.

Management (CRM) is a process of managing an organization’s interactions with current and future customers.
The rationale for CRM is the recognition that
companies can sustain long-term profitability by attracting and maintaining their most valuable customers. How can these customers be recognized? 1. Customer database information Marketing companies create and maintain customer databases that record and keep the following information progresses to include customers’ buying history and behavior. 2. Customer Shopping History It can be used to accurately identify the type of merchandise frequently purchased, the amount spent, the preferred days of shopping, etc. Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) • It is the forecasted sales or profits that a company can derive from the entire span of its future relationship with a particular customer. Implications of CLV 1. It considers a longer-term perspective of a company’s relationship with customers in contrast to a short-term view of “take the customer’s money and run”. 2. It calculates and compares costs of acquiring new customers and keeping the old ones. 3. It highlights the importance of market segmentation, with the recognition that some customer groups are more profitable than others. Formula: CLV = (PV) (RP) (RT) Where: PV is the average peso value of a sale to a paticular customer or customer group RP is the repeat purchase in a year RT is the retention time in months or years CLV is the customer lifetime value Example 1: An athlete who spends P 2,000 for every visit to a spa and goes to the spa twice a month for an expected time period of five years would have a CLV of what? Example 2: A freelance host buys beauty product every month. She purchases facial cleanser, toner, serum as well as day and night cream. The total purchase is amounting to P 5,000 for an expected time period of two (2) years.
