Data Mining Techniques to Enhance Customer Lifetime Value

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is proved by many studies that it is more costly to acquire than to retain customers. Consequently, evaluating current customers to keep high value customers and enhance their lifetime value becomes a critical factor to decide the success or failure of a business. This study applies data from customer and transaction databases of a department store, based on RFM model to do clustering analysis to recognize high value customer groups for cross-selling promotions.
