életciklusérték

Életciklusérték is a Hungarian term that translates to "lifetime value" in English, commonly used in business and marketing contexts. It represents the total profit a company can expect to earn from a single customer over the entire period of their relationship with the company. Calculating this metric is crucial for understanding customer profitability and making informed decisions about customer acquisition, retention, and marketing strategies.

The calculation typically involves estimating the average purchase frequency, the average transaction value, and the average customer lifespan. By multiplying these factors, businesses can arrive at a projected lifetime value. For instance, if a customer spends $100 per year, purchases 5 times a year, and remains a customer for 10 years, their estimated lifetime value would be $5000.

Understanding Életciklusérték helps businesses to: identify high-value customers who warrant special attention and loyalty programs; determine how much they can afford to spend acquiring new customers; and optimize marketing efforts to maximize long-term profitability. It shifts the focus from short-term sales to building sustainable, profitable customer relationships. Different industries and business models will have varying methods and complexities in calculating this value.
