2. Executive summary
As market dynamics are changing, companies are looking for new segmentation to improve the way they
attract, manage and retain their customers. This re-segmentation exercises can be used to support strategic
objectives, such as identifying new market potential, or tactically, to improve retention, ROMI and cross-
selling. However, moving from traditional segmentation methods to more advanced methods require
marketing organizations to invest beyond their basic capabilities
Within the advanced methods, the value-based segmentation allows for prioritization of the customers
portfolio according to their economic value (past or future). One of the most effective value-based
approaches is Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). While CLV can be seen as complex, its pragmatic application
yields most benefits and the use of customer lifetime value as a marketing metric tends to place greater
emphasis on customer service and long-term customer satisfaction, rather than on maximizing short-term
sales
A multi-layer segmentation model leverages the particular benefits of each segmentation method by crossing
basic segments and value-based approaches. This results in operational segments allowing more efficient
targeting actions (acquisition, costs reductions, loyalty, etc.) and connecting with your customers
Segmentation projects are typically approached in seven steps, from defining objectives of the segmentation
exercise to assessing its effectiveness. Key success factors are to implement a standard data collection
process, to respect segment definition rules and to ensure continuous improvement of the segmentation
model

Characteristics Benefits
• Most readily available metric Low
Revenue-based
• But often poorly correlated to real profitability
• Includes both actual and potential customer revenue
Market • Can be estimated using overall spend in the category and / or potential
opportunity / growth in revenue over time
revenue potential
• To be used when share growth is a leading objective
• Accounts for the cost to serve the customer (allocates costs such as S&M
acquisition costs, service / support, R&D, etc.)
Current / past
customer • Very useful in industries where the cost to serve varies significantly by customer
profitability
• Mostly feasible for companies with a small number of customers or with very
advanced customer management systems
Customer
• Recognizes the customer as a corporate asset
Lifetime Value
• Encompasses the holistic value a customer provides (influence on others)
Customer
Influence • Useful in industries where a few customers have a disproportionate share
of influence on others’ buying decisions (ex: Pharmaceutical companies) High

€50 and €10 of profits in the next five years, will have
a CLV of €238,11 if the discount factor is 10%. This
value is unfortunately unobservable for now, and a
predictive model needs to be developed

16. How to model the future profitability and activity of the
Case Study
customers?
Approach Pro’s and con’s
• Create “cells” or groups of customers • Pro: very simple and flexible. Good for long
based on the recency, the frequency and term predictions
RFM models the monetary value of their prior
• Con: many segments needed if used for
purchases, the model is then estimated
individual customer valuation
using decision trees or Markov chains
• Assume an underlying stochastic model • Pro: statistically elegant, extensively discussed
Probability (e.g. the Pareto/NBD model) in the academic literature
models • Con: PhD needed…
• Hazard functions • Pro: very flexible and extensively used in the
industry (but not for CLV modeling)
Econometric • Survival analysis
models • Con: work only for contractual setting (when the
end of the contract is observed)
• Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model • Pro: very flexible and easy, powerful for short
Persistence term predictions, can take into account many
models types of drivers
• Con: computationally expensive

– is a function (regression) of Yi ,t ... ,
Y
• Yi,t-1 the matrix of the activity of customer i in the product categories at time before t,
i , J ,t
– The activity at time t is a function of the activity at time t-1, t-2, …., t-T.

– Used for modeling: cross-selling, halo effect, cannibalism. i , J ,t T ... Yi , J ,t 1
• Xi a vector of characteristic of customer i,
– The activity at time t is a function of the age,…,etc.
– Used for modeling: customer heterogeneity, customer segmentation.
• Ui,t a vector of actionable drivers (marketing actions),
– The activity at time t is a function of the marketing campaign m implemented at
time t-1,…t-T.

• As Pi,j,t is unknown, a prediction model needs to be build:
– The future profits will be derived from the predicted future activity Yi,j,t, as Pi,j,t = sj x Yi,j,t, where sj is
the spread of product j and Yi,j,t is the outstanding amount on customer’s i account at time t.
– The future activity of the customers Yi,j,t will be predicted using an adaptation of a Vector Auto-
Regressive (VAR) model.

21. Case Study What you need for starting a value-based project
• Data and information needed
– You need to know who your customers are
– You need to know what is your CURRENT customer profitability
– You need to know what your customers did in the past
• Maturity level needed
– Typically, you already implemented customer analytics type of project:
o Propensity to buy
o Attrition modeling
– The profitability of your customers is a key question
• Type of business
– Typically, with many customers, and a lot of past transactional data available
– Example of industries: Retail Banking, Telecommunication, Pharmaceuticals, Retailers
21
22. Case Study Lessons learned from past projects
• The risks
– Politics, conservatism, etc.
– Heterogeneity of your customer base: adapt your segmentation accordingly
– Endless arguments on the price and cost structure: use marginal revenues!
– Mature products vs. newly developed products: discard new products!
– Profitability approach might be conflicting with existing sales incentives (e.g. volume-
based)
• The key success factors:
– It’s a business project, not an IT one! The project has to be led by the marketing
department
Have someone from marketing leading the project
Knowing that the effort will be 80% IT
– Be pragmatic: use the 80/20 rule
– Be realistic: it is impossible to predict what will happen in 20 years with a 90%
accuracy
– The Key Question is “HOW WILL THE VALUE BASED SEGMENTATION WILL BE
ACTIONED?”
22
23. Case Study Conclusions
Value-based segmentation allows to allocate resources where they'll deliver the highest
payoff
– Marketing actions can be implemented in a more optimal way
– Customers can be targeted more profitably
Value-based segmentation models and CLV Models can be estimated using standard
procedures
– We model the future activity of the customers using an adapted Vector Auto-Regressive Model
– Markov-chains are an efficient alternative when an aggregated level (segment) is needed
By taking into account the relevant drivers of customer activity, accurate and reliable
predictions are made:
– Owing to the model simplicity, the estimates can easily be interpreted
– For prediction, we achieved a correlation of 95% between predicted and actual over the first
three months

24. Executive summary
As market dynamics are changing, companies are looking for new segmentation to improve the way they
attract, manage and retain their customers. This re-segmentation exercises can be used to support strategic
objectives, such as identifying new market potential, or tactically, to improve retention, ROMI and cross-
selling. However, moving from traditional segmentation methods to more advanced methods require
marketing organizations to invest beyond their basic capabilities
Within the advanced methods, the value-based segmentation allows for prioritization of the customers
portfolio according to their economic value (past or future). One of the most effective value-based
approaches is Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). While CLV can be seen as complex, its pragmatic application
yields most benefits and the use of customer lifetime value as a marketing metric tends to place greater
emphasis on customer service and long-term customer satisfaction, rather than on maximizing short-term
sales
A multi-layer segmentation model leverages the particular benefits of each segmentation method by crossing
basic segments and value-based approaches. This results in operational segments allowing more efficient
targeting actions (acquisition, costs reductions, loyalty, etc.) and connecting with your customers
Segmentation projects are typically approached in seven steps, from defining objectives of the segmentation
exercise to assessing its effectiveness. Key success factors are to implement a standard data collection
process, to respect segment definition rules and to ensure continuous improvement of the segmentation
model
