Estimation of lifetime value of an Audi customer .
• The lifetime value (LTV) of your customer is loosely defined as
the net money a customer contributes over their life as a
customer.
• Lest roughly assume that Audi profit per vehicle is $6000 . On
average a customer purchase car after every 5 years and in life
time purchases 10 cars so profit from a customer will be
$60000 so at 15% of discount rate the NPV will be CLV for an
Audi.
What measures should Audi take to build long term
loyalty relationships ?
• Build best communication means with customer .
•Try to follow each customer needs & expectation & make
relevent promotion and communication with customers .
• Design a comprehensive , point-by-point marketing &
communication plan for each of the customer profiles Audi
have made .
• By designing a communication & marketing strategy to keep
customers coming back again & again .
