Study Notes
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)
- CLV measures the total revenue a business expects to generate from a single customer throughout their entire relationship.
Using CLV for Customer Segmentation
- Companies can segment customers based on their predicted CLV, allowing for targeted marketing and resource allocation to high-value customers.
High Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) vs. Low CLV
- If CAC exceeds CLV, the company is losing money on customer acquisition. Strategies to address this include reducing CAC, increasing CLV (e.g., through improved customer retention or upselling), or both.
Indirect Costs Example
- The provided text does not offer examples of indirect costs. Indirect costs are those not directly tied to production (e.g., rent, administrative salaries).
Contribution Margin Calculation (Oreos)
- The contribution margin for a pack of Oreos is $1.60 ($2.00 sales price - $0.40 direct cost).
Break-Even Point Calculation (Oreos)
- To break even with $16,000 in indirect costs and a $1.60 contribution margin per pack, 10,000 packs of Oreos need to be sold ($16,000 / $1.60).
Break-Even Point Formula (with Profit)
- The break-even formula incorporating a required profit is: Break-Even Point (Units) = (Fixed Costs + Target Profit) / Contribution Margin per Unit.
Direct Costs
- Direct costs are those directly attributable to producing goods or services. Examples include raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing supplies.
Covering Production Costs
- To determine if a company can cover production costs, use the break-even analysis.
Marketing Investment Performance (Missing Data)
- The provided text does not contain data to answer the questions about which business had the highest/lowest number of new customers, average purchase value, average spending per customer, or ROI based on new customers gained. More data is needed.
