Customer Value Defined
Customer Value is the perception of what a product or service is worth to a Customer versus the possible alternatives.
Worth means whether the Customer feels s/he or he got benefits and services over what s/he paid.
In a simplistic equation form, Customer Value is Benefits-Cost (CV=B-C)

With rise of digital technologies, informed customers excpect companies to do more to connect with them - expect them to listen and respond.
6
How Customers Choose
Customers choose offer that they believe offers the highest value
Customer Perceived Value (CPV) -The difference between the prospective customer’s evaluation of all the benefits and costs of an offering and perceived alternatives
Total Customer Benefit (TCB)-Perceived monetary value of the bundle of economic, functional and psychological benefits based on product, service, people and image
Total Customer Cost (TCC) -Perceived bundle of costs incurred for market offering
Integrated Marketing
‹#›
Examples - Dell Computer- Rose to success on low-priced computers, logistical efficiency and after-sales service. Cut costs by moving call centers to Phillipines & India, with understaffing. Led to 30 minute waits and half were transferred. Toll-free number was removed from site to discourage calls. Competitors took up the slack with low-cost and effective customer service. Market share and price declined sharply - focus was cost versus customer satisfaction

Applying Value Concepts
Customer adds up: Economic +Functional +Psychological benefits from four sources:
Product - Deliver durablity, performance resale
Service - Delivery, Training, Maintenance
People - Knowledgeable and responsive staff
Image - Corporate image, reputation
Total Customer Cost; buyer’s time, energy. Psychological costs expended in acquisition, usage, maintenance, ownership and disposal + monetary cost = TCC

Consumer Value Analysis
Integrated Marketing
‹#›
Accurate and thorough intelligence is the foundation of all successful business ventures because it provides vital information about prospective and existing customers…the competition…and the industry in general. It enables business owners to determine the feasibility of a business before committing substantial resources to the venture.
10
Delivering High Customer Value
Value Proposition - Cluster of benefits company promised to deliver, more than the core positioning of the offering e.g. Volvo - Not only safety but good performance, design, good for environment
Value Delivery System - All experiences customer will have on the way to obtaining and using the offering
Customer Loyalty - Deeply held commitment to rebuy or repatronize a preferred product or service in the future despite situational influences and marketing efforts that strive to cause switching behavior

Customer Satisfaction
Description:
Customer satisfaction is a marketing term that measures how products or services supplied by a company meet or surpass a customer's expectation. If product or service falls short - dissatisfied.
Customer satisfaction is important because it provides marketers and business owners with a metric that they can use to manage and improve their businesses.
High satisfaction creates an emotional bond and can be used to market product
Integrated Marketing
‹#›
Company can not just satisfy customer - lowering price or increased service may decrease profit. Other options? Improve mfg, R&D
Investment. Can divert funds from other stakeholder needs - employees, dealers, suppliers and stockholders
12
Monitoring Consumer Satisfaction
Companies systematically monitor how well they treat customers, identifying satisfaction and changing operations and marketing to keep them happy and satisfied.
Why? Key to customer RETENTION
Satisfied customer stays loyal longer, buy new and upgraded products, talk to others, less attention to competing brands, less price sensitive, transactions become routine. So less cost to retain.
Link btw CS and CL is not proportional; rated 1-5
1 - likely to abandon and badmouth
2-4 Fairly satisfied - easy to switch
5 - HIgh satisfaction/delight = emotional bond, will repurchase, talk (HS Xerox customers 6x more likely to repurchase
CS rank performance differently, impt to know perception of competition
Integrated Marketing
‹#›
13
Measuring Consumer Satisfaction
Periodic surveys - “How are we doing?”; measure repurchase intentions, NPS - recommend?, explore perceived attributes or benefits
American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) University of Michigan - Measures consumer perceived satisfaction with different industries, economic sectors, national economies. Correlation between Customer Satisfaction and and firm financial performance and ROI
Monitoring of own website, consumer comments/complaints and taking action

Value Based Pricing
Value-based pricing - The method of setting a price which a company calculates and tries to earn the differentiated worth of its product for a particular customer segment when compared to competitor (Harvard Business Review) Place a dollar amount on differentiation
Brand A to launch new 65 inch LED television biggest screen in marketplace
Brand B introduced 60-inch TV for $799
Both TVs have similar, undistinguished features
WIFI
High Definition
Same HDMI inputs
Same refresh rate
How do you determine price for Brand A?
Integrated Marketing
‹#›
15
Value Based Pricing Guidelines
Focus on single segment:
B2B customer/Best Buy
Big-screen buyers, not all buyers
2. Compare with next best alternative (what would segment buy if this is not available?
3. Understand differentiated worth
4. Place dollar amount on differentiation
How much will buyers pay for 5 more inches of screen?

How much - $150 makes Brand A pricing at $949
Will use conjoint analysis or qualitative customer interviewing to validate
May be too many features to be able to differentiate
May not work - may be better for B2b

Maximizing Customer Lifetime Value
Customer lifetime value measures the profit your business makes from any given customer.
What can you do with Customer Lifetime Value?
Customer Lifetime Value is the single most important metric for understanding your customers. CLV helps you make important business decisions about sales, marketing, product development, and customer support. For example:
Marketing: How much should I spend to acquire a customer?
Product: How can I offer products and services tailored for my best customers?
Customer Support: How much should I spend to service and retain a customer?
Sales: What types of customers should sales reps spend the most time on trying to acquire?
Integrated Marketing
‹#›
22
Calculating Customer LIfetime Value
How do you calculate Customer Lifetime Value? - May nuances BUT – Way to calculate CLV is to take the revenue you earn from a customer and subtract out the money spent on acquiring and serving them.
Estimate your Customer Lifetime Value - Value of an average order at your business is $50. Any time someone makes an order, they have a 10% chance of making a repeat purchase. It costs you $15 to acquire each new customer.
The total revenue you can expect to get from each customer is your average order value divided by one minus the repeat purchase rate, or $50 / ( 1 - 0.1) = $55.56. Subtract your customer acquisition cost from that, and you get a customer lifetime value of $40.56.
How to predict your Customer Lifetime Value - CLV can be calculated historically, over specific time periods, or it can be predictive. Each of these calculations serve different purposes. But, predictive CLV is the most powerful way to not only understand what a customer is worth to you now, but also how their value will change overtime.

Calculating CLV
Calculate any purchase value Total Revenue divided by # or purchases
Starbucks customer spends $5.90 each visit (avg per week). 3x per week average is $9.00. Overall avg. $3,00
Calculate purchase frequency- avg. for 5 customers is 4.3 visits per wekk
Calculate avg. customer value for 5 customers x avg. purcshed value by avg. frequency = $24.30
Calculate avg. customer lifespan. Divide 1 by your churn rate
Customer Lifetime Value – Multiply avg. customer value by 52(weeks in a year) 52 x $24.30 =$25,272

Value of Customer Lifetime Vlaue
New customer costs 5 to 25 times more than existing customer (Harvard Business Review)
