Online retailers - How loyal are your customers?

Converting infrequent customers on your site to regular spenders who purchase high value items is possible after you have identified your customer groups.

The recent use, frequency, monetary (RFM) model has been used by marketers to identify clusters of customers for decades.

Please see below for details of an MBA dissertation on this subject that could be used to support your online marketing activities free of charge.

FREE EVALUATION

Do you want an evaluation of your customer base which will identify which customers generate your profits and which offer the greatest future potential?

MBA DISSERTATION

My name is Ross Moran and I’m an Executive MBA student at Cass Business School in London. MEET ROSS at directorBAR / mobile, 10th May in London EC4: http://directorbar10may2011.eventbrite.com/

My MBA dissertation is on how the recency, frequency, monetary model (RFM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFM) can help online retailers determine customer loyalty by investigating how consumers behave once they are online.

Customer lifetime value (CLV) is generally defined as the present value of all future profits obtained from a customer during their life. CLV allows us to differentiate between clusters of customers, from the most loyal to the least profitable. Generally, CLV is measured by the RFM (recency, frequency, monetary) model.

CUSTOMER LOYALTY

Linking the model with your marketing communications can improve your customer loyalty by identifying which clusters of customers need special targeted attention.

Your goal is always to convert your low spending casual customers into frequent customers who purchase high value goods.

TARGET & TIMELINES

The target partricipants are business to consumer online retailers: anything from clothes to holidays, from insurance to software.

Timelines: to contact the dissertation author as soon as possible.
