Increased ROI: How our Customer Lifetime Value model boosted profitability and customer loyalty

by with No Comment Success Stories

The Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) is one of the most important metrics in the marketing and loyalty strategy of any company. Through the CLTV calculation, companies can understand how much each customer is worth throughout their life cycle and therefore optimize their customer retention and acquisition strategies.

In this post, we will share a success story in which CLTV was extracted to improve the marketing strategy of a company, which resulted in a significant increase in profitability and customer loyalty.

Discover how the use of customer lifetime value can be the key to the sustainable success of your business.

What is the Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV)?

The Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) is a metric used in marketing to measure the total economic value that a customer brings to a company during the entire time they are a customer of the same.

The CLTV is calculated taking into account the monetary value that a customer contributes to the company throughout his life as a customer. It takes into account the amount he spends on each purchase, the frequency with which he makes purchases, and the time spent remains as a customer of the company.

This metric is very useful for companies, since it allows them to know the real economic value that each customer contributes. And, therefore, focus their efforts on retaining the most valuable customers and loyalty, instead of spending only on acquiring new ones.

The client

A renowned retail company that sells all kinds of products, from textiles to home and appliances, among others. With a presence in different Latin American countries.

The business challenge

Within a sample of 10% of the consumer portfolio selected by our client, four types of consumers were identified:

1. Those who were inactive for more than 6 months

2. Those who presented a very sporadic transactional behavior and low ticket, with purchases between 3 and 6 months.

3. A third group with a high transactional behavior from the point of view of the value of the ticket and with purchases in the last three months.

4. The highest value group, where there were customers with at least one purchase per month in the last 6 months, with medium and high ticket values.

The challenge posed by the client was to carry out campaigns through three channels (mobile phone, email and physical mail) that would increase the RFM (Recency, Frequency, Value) in each of the identified groups.

Solution GBA Smart Marketing®

Initially, we collected all transactional information from the four customer groups for the last 24 months. Understanding their consumer categories, points of sale where they made purchases, payment method, and, of course, the details of the products purchased.

We carried out analyses that allowed us to understand the correlation of the points of sale with the places where the consumers lived. We analyzed the correlation that existed between the campaigns to which these consumers were exposed during this period of time and their actual purchases for each of the categories and PLU’s/SKU’s.

In the same way, we study the response to the different messages and define the “Best Time to Contact” for each one in order to differentiate the results from the dimension of the contact rate. Likewise, the response of the campaigns and the purchases were actually achieved.

With the Attribute Set by GBA Smart Marketing®, and information from our client, we built a CLTV model that contributed to the prioritization of each of the consumers according to their segment. The budget that was worth investing in each of them, identify those consumers with high potential, and optimize the budget by calculating the ROI of each of the campaigns we manage. All of them were analyzed from four dimensions: Point of Sale, Product Category, RFM, and Consumer Segment.

The comprehensive solution also incorporated the Social & Mobile Data of the target we are targeting. It was possible to segment and sub-segment all the consumers by their tastes in more than 300 categories, profiles, and geolocation.

The result

  • We built a solution that allowed us to have, in one place, the complete and necessary information to plan a successful campaign.
  • We make it possible to measure the ROI of each campaign just hours after it is executed.
  • We optimize the communications budget by generating fewer contacts with greater effectiveness.
  • We increased recency globally in the four groups by 8.76%.
  • The frequency increased, on average, for the four groups, with 0.65 monthly transactions per consumer.
  • The average ticket of the four groups increased by 11.54%.
  • The ROI of the solution, at the end of the project, was 21.98% higher than the customer’s historical ROI.

For GBA Smart Marketing®, the value and interpretation of the data have a fundamental role in the development and innovation of our portfolio of customized solutions for each of our clients. Contact us for more information about our services.

Aumento del ROI: Cómo nuestro modelo Customer Lifetime Value impulsó la rentabilidad y fidelización de nuestro cliente

by with No Comment Casos de éxito

El Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) es una de las métricas más considerables en la estrategia de marketing y fidelización de cualquier empresa. A través del cálculo del CLTV, las empresas pueden entender cuánto vale cada cliente a lo largo de su ciclo de vida y, por lo tanto, optimizar sus estrategias de retención y adquisición de clientes.

En esta publicación compartiremos un caso de éxito en el que se extrajo el CLTV para mejorar la estrategia de marketing de una empresa, lo que resultó en un aumento significativo de la rentabilidad y la fidelización de sus clientes. 

Descubre cómo el uso del valor de por vida del cliente puede ser la clave para el éxito sostenible de tu negocio.

¿Qué es el Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV)? 

El Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) o Valor del Ciclo de Vida del Cliente en español, es una métrica que se utiliza en marketing para medir el valor económico total que un cliente aporta a una empresa durante todo el tiempo que es cliente de la misma.

El CLTV se calcula teniendo en cuenta el valor monetario que un cliente aporta a la empresa a lo largo de toda su vida como cliente, teniendo en cuenta el gasto que realiza en cada compra, la frecuencia con la que realiza compras y el tiempo que se mantiene como cliente de la empresa.

Esta métrica es muy útil para las empresas, ya que les permite conocer el valor económico real que cada cliente aporta y, por lo tanto, enfocar sus esfuerzos en retener a los clientes más valiosos y fidelizarlos, en lugar de gastar únicamente en la adquisición de nuevos clientes.

El cliente 

Una reconocida compañía de retail que comercializa todo tipo de productos, desde textiles hasta hogar y electrodomésticos, entre otros. Con presencia en diferentes países de Latinoamérica.

El problema

Dentro de una muestra de 10% de la cartera de consumidores seleccionada por nuestro cliente se identificaron cuatro tipos de consumidores: 

  1. Aquellos que se encontraban inactivos hace más de 6 meses
  2. Aquellos que presentaban un comportamiento transaccional muy esporádico y de bajo ticket, con compras entre 3 y 6 meses.
  3. Un tercer grupo con un comportamiento transaccional alto desde el punto de vista del valor del ticket y con compras en los últimos tres meses.
  4. El grupo de más alto valor, en donde se encontraban los clientes con al menos una compra por mes en los últimos 6 meses, con valores de ticket medios y altos.

El reto planteado por el cliente era realizar campañas por tres canales (teléfono móvil, email y correo físico) que incrementaran el RFM (Recencia, Frecuencia, Valor) en cada uno de los grupos identificados

Solución GBA Smart Marketing®

Inicialmente, reunimos toda la información transaccional de los cuatro grupos de clientes para los últimos 24 meses. Entendiendo sus categorías de consumo, puntos de venta donde hicieron las compras, método de pago y, por supuesto, el detalle de los productos adquiridos.

Efectuamos análisis que nos permitieron entender la correlación de los puntos de venta con los lugares donde vivían los consumidores. Analizamos la correlación que existía entre las campañas a las que fueron expuestos estos consumidores durante este período de tiempo y sus compras efectivas para cada una de las categorías y PLU’s /SKU’s. 

De igual forma, estudiamos la respuesta a los diferentes mensajes y definimos para cada uno el “Best Time To Contact” con el fin de diferenciar los resultados desde la dimensión de la tasa de contacto. Así mismo, la respuesta de las campañas y las compras efectivamente logradas.

Con el Attribute Set by GBA Smart Marketing®, e información de nuestro cliente, construimos un modelo de CLTV que aportó a la priorización de cada uno de los consumidores de acuerdo con su segmento. El presupuesto que valía la pena invertir en cada uno de ellos, identificar a aquellos consumidores de alto potencial y optimizar el presupuesto calculando el ROI de cada una de las campañas que gestionamos. Todas ellas analizadas desde cuatro dimensiones: Punto de venta, Categoría de Producto, RFM y Segmento del consumidor.

La solución integral incorporó, además, Social & Mobile Data del target al que apuntamos. Fue posible segmentar y sub segmentar la totalidad de consumidores por sus gustos en más de 300 categorías, perfiles, y geolocalización.

El resultado

    • Construimos una solución que permitió tener, en un solo lugar, la información completa y necesaria para planificar una campaña exitosa.
    • Posibilitamos la medición del ROI de cada campaña tan solo horas después de ejecutada.
    • Optimizamos el presupuesto de comunicaciones al generar menos contactos con una mayor efectividad.
    • Incrementamos la recencia de manera global en los cuatro grupos en 8,76%.
    • La frecuencia aumentó, en promedio para los cuatro grupos, 0,65 transacciones mensuales por consumidor.
    • El ticket promedio de los cuatro grupos se incrementó en 11,54%.
  • El ROI de la solución, al final del proyecto, fue 21,98% superior al ROI histórico del cliente.

Account-Based Marketing Insights – ABM: Why Is It Critical For Your Business?

by with No Comment Digital transformation

Account-based marketing has become increasingly popular in recent years, especially among B2B (business-to-business) companies that have a limited target group and need to focus on generating sales with some high-profile accounts, worth.

Instead of waiting for customers to come to them, companies using ABM go directly to the accounts they want to reach, offering personalized content and solutions specific to their unique needs.

What is Account-Based Marketing – ABM?

Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is a marketing strategy that targets specific accounts or leads rather than a broader audience.

Instead of creating blanket marketing campaigns that try to appeal to a large audience, ABM focuses on identifying and targeting specific accounts that are considered high quality and have high sales conversion potential.

How to implement this strategy?

To implement an ABM strategy, you first identify the accounts that have the highest potential to become customers. Then, personalized content is generated and focuses on building long-term relationships with these specific accounts.

ABM often involves close collaboration between a company’s marketing and sales teams to ensure that the highest-value accounts are being targeted effectively. In general, the goal of ABM is to increase marketing effectiveness and revenue generation by targeting accounts that have the greatest potential to become long-term, profitable customers.

Data integration

ABM requires a large amount of data and analytics to be effective, so more and more companies are expected to invest in analytics tools and technology to improve their ability to collect and analyze data.

Focus on quality

Instead of operating on the number of leads generated, companies that adopt ABM will focus more on the quality of the accounts and their ability to generate long-term revenue.

Automation

Automation is expected to play an increasingly essential role in ABM as companies look for ways to improve the efficiency and scalability of their campaigns.

How can we integrate ABM with current marketing strategies?

  2. Align sales and marketing: ABM is most effective when it’s aligned with your sales team. Work with your sales team to identify key accounts and devise a plan to engage with them.
  3. Develop personalized content – ??that speaks directly to the needs and challenges of your target accounts. This can include blog posts, case studies, videos, and landing pages, among other types of content.
  4. Leverage Targeted Advertising – Use targeted advertising to reach your target accounts through different channels. This may include advertising on social networks, Google Ads, and other forms of online advertising.

Perspectivas del marketing basado en cuentas – ABM: ¿Por qué es crucial para tu empresa?

by with No Comment Transformación

El marketing basado en cuentas se ha vuelto cada vez más popular en los últimos años, especialmente entre las empresas B2B (business-to-business) que tienen un grupo objetivo limitado y que necesitan enfocarse en generar ventas con un número reducido de cuentas de alto valor. 

En lugar de esperar que los clientes vengan a ellos, las empresas que utilizan ABM van directamente a las cuentas que quieren alcanzar y les ofrecen contenido personalizado y soluciones específicas a sus necesidades particulares.

Qué es el marketing basado en cuentas – ABM

El marketing basado en cuentas (ABM, por sus siglas en inglés de Account-Based Marketing) es una estrategia de marketing que se enfoca en cuentas o clientes potenciales específicos en lugar de un público más amplio.

En lugar de crear campañas de marketing generales que intentan atraer a una gran audiencia, el ABM se enfoca en identificar y abordar a cuentas específicas que son consideradas de alta calidad y que tienen un alto potencial de conversión en ventas.

Cómo implementar esta estrategia  

Para implementar una estrategia de ABM, primero se identifican las cuentas que tienen el mayor potencial de convertirse en clientes. Luego, se genera contenido personalizado y se enfoca en la creación de relaciones a largo plazo con estas cuentas específicas.

El ABM a menudo implica una estrecha colaboración entre los equipos de marketing y ventas de una empresa para asegurarse de que se esté abordando de manera efectiva a las cuentas de mayor valor. En general, el objetivo del ABM es aumentar la eficacia del marketing y la generación de ingresos al enfocarse en las cuentas que tienen el mayor potencial de convertirse en clientes rentables y a largo plazo.

Pero, ¿cuáles son las perspectivas del marketing basado en cuentas para este año?

Las perspectivas son muy positivas para este año y se espera que tenga un impacto cada vez mayor en el marketing y las ventas en los próximos años. Estas son algunas de las tendencias y perspectivas que se esperan para el ABM en los próximos meses:

Mayor adopción

Se espera que más empresas adopten el ABM este año, ya que cada vez hay más evidencia de su efectividad para generar resultados. De hecho, según un informe de la Asociación de Marketing B2B, el 92% de los responsables de marketing consideran que el ABM es una estrategia muy importante para su negocio.

Personalización

La personalización seguirá siendo una tendencia clave en el ABM este año. Las empresas que pueden personalizar sus mensajes y experiencias para cada cuenta tendrán una ventaja competitiva en el mercado.

Integración de datos

El ABM requiere una gran cantidad de datos y análisis para ser efectivo, por lo que se espera que cada vez más empresas inviertan en herramientas de análisis y tecnología para mejorar su capacidad de recopilar y analizar datos.

Enfoque en la calidad

En lugar de operar en la cantidad de leads generados, las empresas que adopten el ABM se enfocarán más en la calidad de las cuentas y en su capacidad para generar ingresos a largo plazo.

Automatización

Se espera que la automatización juegue un papel cada vez más relevante en el ABM, ya que las empresas buscan formas de mejorar la eficiencia y la escalabilidad de sus campañas.

¿Cómo podemos integrar ABM con estrategias de marketing actuales? 

Al integrar ABM con sus estrategias de marketing actuales, puede crear un enfoque más específico y personalizado para interactuar con sus cuentas objetivo. Esto puede ayudarlo a construir relaciones más sólidas con sus clientes más valiosos y generar más ingresos para su negocio. Aquí hay algunos pasos para ayudarlo a integrar ABM con sus estrategias de marketing actuales:

  1. Identifique sus cuentas objetivo: comience identificando las cuentas clave en las que desea enfocarse con su estrategia ABM. Use datos y análisis para priorizar sus cuentas objetivo en función del valor potencial para su negocio.
  2. Alinee las ventas y el marketing: ABM es más efectivo cuando está alineado con su equipo de ventas. Trabaje con su equipo de ventas para identificar las cuentas clave y diseñar un plan para interactuar con ellas.
  3. Desarrolle contenido personalizado: que hable directamente de las necesidades y desafíos de sus cuentas objetivo. Esto puede incluir publicaciones de blog, estudios de casos, videos, landing pages entre otros tipos de contenido.
  4. Aproveche la publicidad dirigida: utilice la publicidad dirigida para llegar a sus cuentas objetivo a través de diferentes canales. Esto puede incluir publicidad en redes sociales, Google Ads y otras formas de publicidad en línea.
  5. Utilice análisis basados en cuentas: para medir el éxito de su estrategia ABM, esto puede incluir el seguimiento de las tasas de participación, la generación de clientes potenciales y las tasas de conversión para sus cuentas de destino.
  6. Integre ABM con otras estrategias de marketing: ABM es más efectivo cuando se integra con otras estrategias de marketing, como marketing de contenido, marketing en redes sociales y marketing por correo electrónico. Emplee ABM para complementar y mejorar sus esfuerzos de marketing existentes.
  7. Optimice continuamente su estrategia ABM: a medida que implementa su estrategia ABM, supervise y optimice continuamente su enfoque en función de los datos y los comentarios que reciba. Esto le ayudará a refinar su enfoque y lograr mejores resultados con el tiempo.

Emerging trends in business strategies and marketing for this 2023-2024

by with 16 Comments Innovation

2024 promises to be an exciting year for sales and marketing, with new technologies and approaches emerging that will enable companies to deliver a more personalized and effective customer experience. Therefore, we will analyze some emerging trends in business strategies and marketing for this year.

The biggest trend we are seeing is that companies are becoming more and more customer-centric. As customers become more demanding, it is important that companies provide them with the products and services they want.

Perspectives in business strategies and marketing

In the next five years, companies will focus on building long-term relationships with their customers, offering them better products and services at lower cost. This means that the customer experience is critical and must be considered in all aspects of businesses.

In a recent Forrester Research study, 80% of B2B buyers said they would stop doing business with companies that did not provide a great customer experience. Businesses that offer remarkable experiences will be rewarded with loyal customers who will recommend them to others and spend more money over time than those that don’t offer a seamless experience.

Customers no longer like to be treated like numbers, they want to be treated as individuals. Personalization means giving customers exactly what they need and want at every step of their journey through your website or app. This can be something as simple as offering them a discount if they share their email address. Or something more complex like offering them different options based on where they live or what device they use to access your website or app. It’s all about personalizing the experience so that it feels like it’s designed just for them.

• The rise of AI-powered marketing automation: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for decades, but it’s only recently that companies have begun to integrate it into their marketing strategies. By 2024, AI will be used by 80% of B2B companies to personalize their campaigns, create better content and increase ROI.

• Social networks as a sales tool: social networks are no longer just a place where people share photos and videos or comment on other people’s posts, but have become a valuable sales tool for companies that want to interact with your audience before they even get in touch with them by email or phone.

Competitive edge

As the global economy continues to evolve, businesses must stay ahead to remain competitive and successful. This includes understanding how business strategies, marketing strategies, and other trends will affect your operations. By having a clear understanding of these trends, companies can ensure that they are prepared for any changes that may arise in the future.

For this reason, we cannot lose sight of the fact that the digital revolution will continue apace. Technology will become more advanced, consumers will demand more from brands, and people will stay even more connected than ever before.

What are those emerging trends?

These are some of the trends that we foresee will be present in business and marketing strategies by 2024, among which the following stand out:

1. Content Marketing: Content marketing continues to be a key strategy to generate engagement and loyalty among consumers. In 2024, brands are expected to continue producing quality, relevant content adapted to the different channels and formats, such as videos, podcasts, and infographics, among others.

2. Personalization: Consumers increasingly expect a more personalized experience, and brands are embracing technology and tools to offer personalized products and services in real-time.

3. Artificial Intelligence: AI is transforming the way companies do business, and brands are expected to continue investing in this technology to improve efficiency, personalization, and customer experience. AI can also be used to improve audience segmentation and purchase behavior prediction.

4. Omnichannel: Consumers expect a seamless and consistent shopping experience across all the channels they use, from physical stores to social media. This indicates that brands continue to adopt an omnichannel strategy to improve the customer experience and increase retention.

5. Sustainability: Sustainability continues to be a major concern for consumers and in 2024, brands must continue to adopt sustainable practices in their supply chain, production, and distribution. Companies can also use sustainability as a competitive differentiator.

6. Influencer Marketing: Influencer marketing continues to be a relevant trend for brands looking to reach specific audiences and build trust in their products and services. In 2024, influencer marketing is expected to continue to evolve toward more authentic and lasting relationships between brands and influencers.

7. Marketing automation: Marketing automation allows companies to make the lead generation process and campaign management more efficient and effective. Investing in marketing automation tools to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your campaigns will be an irreversible trend.

8. Augmented and virtual reality: Augmented and virtual reality are being increasingly used by brands to improve the customer experience and increase interaction with their products and services. For example, some stores are using augmented reality to allow customers to virtually try on items like clothing and makeup before buying. In the case of virtual reality, some brands are creating immersive experiences for their customers, allowing them to virtually explore their products and services in a simulated environment.

9. Conversational commerce: refers to the use of chatbots and virtual assistants to interact with customers and facilitate purchase and support. Additionally, chatbots can be programmed to learn from customer interactions, improving their ability to provide accurate and helpful responses over time.

10. Immersive brand experiences: are those that seek to involve customers in an experience that goes beyond the simple purchase of a product or service. This technique can generate greater engagement and loyalty in your customers. For example, some brands are creating physical or virtual installations that allow customers to interact with their products and services in a unique and memorable way. These experiences can be shared on social networks and generate greater reach and engagement with the brand.

11. Values-Based Marketing: More and more consumers are looking for brands that share their values ??and social and environmental concerns. In 2024, companies are expected to continue to take a more conscious and sustainable approach to their business practices and to effectively communicate this to their customers. Brands can use their commitment to sustainability, social justice, or gender equality to differentiate themselves from the competition and build a deeper, more meaningful relationship with their customers.

12. Voice Marketing: With the rise of virtual assistants and voice recognition technology, voice marketing is emerging as a new way to interact with customers. Brands can use voice to provide product recommendations, make reservations, or answer customer questions. Additionally, brands can use voice to create personalized brand experiences, using the tone of voice and language that best suits their target audience.

In a recent Accenture report, it is mentioned that “the digital age has reached a point where it affects all aspects of our lives”.

As companies evolve and adapt to changing environments, so must their strategies. To succeed in business, it is essential to keep pace with changing times. Companies that do not adapt their strategies and practices to the latest trends run the real risk of falling behind the competition.

New technologies are transforming the way companies do business. It is important that customers are aware of the latest innovations in their area of ??business. You must be willing to experiment and try new tools and technologies to improve efficiency, personalization, and the customer experience.

Understanding these trends is essential for any business looking to continue to succeed for years to come.
