LTV Case Study This case involves a company selling seasonal food products (Florida fruit) by catalog, retail store and face-to-face sales. Most (85%+) of their sales occur during the holidays from mid-November through January Most buyers are consumers, purchasing either as a gift to be sent by the company, or for a family gathering, Businesses are not the bulk of the customers but make up a very large part of the sales. Salespeople contact the larger businesses (those with 50 or more employees). The smaller businesses are treated like consumers. Converting prospects into customers is currently being done at or near break even level. The best source to acquire new customers above break-even is by marketing to the gift recipients . As recipients are mainly people at their home address, most new customers gained this way are consumers. Converting a business prospect into a buyer is generally done below break-even. That is acquisition cost tends to be higher than with consumers. However, they tend to be much more loyal place larger orders, and send to more recipients (who can then be acquired) Recently, the company began acquiring new customers through remnant space" newspaper advertising. They did this by offering a low-priced selection for $19.95. Their typical average order from catalogs is $65. While these new buyers from newspapers are marginally profitable to acquire they tend to continue to make small orders in the future and are less loyal than catalog buyers that made a larger first order Because the business is seasonal, and food is perishable, they will at times use whatever methods are necessary to move Inventory, even if it means acquiring customers with a lower Lifetime Value than would otherwise be possible Up to now, however, they have not considered Lifetime Valoe, only acquisition cost Compare acquisition cost to Lifetime Value using the following input numbers. Also consider value after 1 year. The company spends most of its prospecting dollars on space advertising, much less reaching consumers, and has virtually discontinued reaching businesses Use the LTV Case Study Sample input numbers below to compare consumer business, and space ad acquisition methods Space Ad Consumer Figures Business Figures Figures $0.70 $0.01 $0.60 Cost to reach a prospect DELL Consumer Figures: Business Figures: Space Ad Figures Cost to reach a prospect $0.60 $0.70 $0.01 Average response 1.10% 0.90% 0.51% Average initial order $70.00 $80.00 $19.95 Average COGS 50.00% 50.00% 70.00% Initial Fulfillment Cost $7 $8 $4 Cost to reach a customer $0.50 $0.50 $0.50 Number of customer mailings/year 4 4 4 Response per mailing year 16.00% 24.00% 8.00% one Response per mailing year two 13.00% 16.00% 6.00% Response per mailing year three 11.00% 12.00% 4.00% Time Value of Money Discount 20.00% 20.00% 20.00% Average repeat order $75.00 $150.00 $30.00 Average repeat COGS 50.00% 50.00% 55.00% Repeat Order fulfillment Cost $6 $7 $5 Question 1 Use LTV Case Study under Details - that will have "Consumer figures", "Business Figures" and "Space Ad Figures."

Question 3 4 pts . Go on-line and look at the Harry & David web site. Select a product or group of products your group thinks would be attractive. Plug in numbers you think make sense in an LTV equation and use LTV to explain why you selected those products. Let me say that again: "Plug in numbers you think make sense in an LTV equation" Then describe: Average Order (Larger bundles of products or higher priced products get higher average orders, so Product Managers are happy) - what would you do to try to grow average order? Response Rates (More attractive offers get more response rates, so Marketing is happy) - what would you do to try to grow response rates? Fullllment cost fassume simple orders towers fulfillment cost, so accounting is happy) - what would you do to try to low the cost to fulfill orders? (if anything you can argue against that as a goal if you prefer) For question 3, use your own creative judgement. Based on your exposure to LTV. go to Harry & David, look through the products/offers, and take a guess at numbers you can plug into #3 Question 3 doesn't have right or wrong answers. High priced bundles with high margins, low-priced items with higher response rates, you name it. Be creative.
