How to increase CLV & decrease CAC - Valentin Radu
This document provides strategies for increasing Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) and decreasing Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) in e-commerce through customer segmentation and behavioral analysis, specifically using RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) segmentation. It emphasizes the importance of understanding customer behavior to tailor marketing efforts effectively and the need for a customer-centric approach within organizations. Additionally, it discusses monitoring customer experiences and making data-driven decisions to optimize acquisition and retention efforts.

the effects come from 20% of the
causes"

That allows companies to target specific clusters of customers with more relevant for their particular behavior – and thus
generating higher rates of response, increased loyalty and better customer lifetime value.

customer purchase?”

purchase?”

need to have a large number of groups. The idea is to have manageable chunks of people that share a particular behaviour in
relation to your company.
