Answer to Question 1

Customer lifetime value is the net present value (NPV) of the profit that a company stands to realize on the average new customer during a given number of years. There are five ways to augment lifetime value:
1 . Increased the retention rate. The more customers a firm has and the longer they are retained, the greater the lifetime value.
2 . Increase the referral rate. Positive relations created with existing customers can influence others to become customers through the positive word of mouth expressed by a company's satisfied users.
3 . Enhance the average purchase volume per customer. Existing customers can be encouraged to purchase more of a brand by augmenting their brand loyalty.
4 . Cut direct costs. By altering the channel of distribution via direct marketing efforts, a firm may be able to cut costs and hence increase profit margins.
5 . Reducing marketing communication costs. Effective database marketing can lead to meaningful reductions in marcom expenses because direct marketing often is more productive than mass media advertising.
