Abstract

Loyalty and customer value are defined and we propose a model that relates the two concepts to each other and to firm performance. We survey applications of the concepts and discuss how they are measured. We derive aggregate-level estimates of CLV for the contractual setting, maximum likelihood estimates of retention rates, and give an example for a non-contractual setting. Strategies for increasing loyalty and customer value are also discussed.
