Customer centricity and value orientation are central themes in marketing, and customer lifetime value (CLV) has emerged as a core concept related to these themes. CLV provides crucial data for overall customer value management and marketing decision-making. However, the extant literature offers few generalizable insights that can be applied across diverse contexts. The main goals of this research are to systematically review the extant literature regarding CLV, integrate developmental contexts and multiple influential factors related to CLV, and construct a typical application process for data-driven CLV planning. To achieve these goals, we implement a specific process in three distinct cases. This study demonstrates the effective use of CLV in connecting customer segmentation, selection, and marketing strategies and thus establishes the importance of customer segmentation and selection in the formulation of CLV strategies. The theoretical contribution of this study is its bridging of the gap in the extant literature by combining CLV with marketing strategy frameworks. From a practical perspective, this research could help senior executives, marketing personnel, and nontechnical researchers gain a deeper understanding of the underlying principles of CLV as applied to marketing. Finally, this research could enable them to extract strategic implications that foster value creation for enterprises. |
