Q1. What is the CIV of each customer?

Using the diagram below, please fill in the empty cells in the

table. Make sure to show the steps for calculating each customer’s CIV in the next page.

Solution: Based on the diagram, the below equations will be framed:

1. CIV(Jogi) = 0.5 * CLV (Babil) + 0.5 * CIV (Babil) + CLV(Richa) + CIV (Richa)

2. CIV(Richa) = 0.5*CLV(Astha) + 0.5* CIV (Astha) + 0.5*CLV(Babil)+ 0.5*CIV(Babil)

3. CIV(Babil) = CLV(Teher) + CIV (Teher)

4. CIV(Teher) = CLV(Sahil) + CIV(Sahil) + 0.5*CLV(Astha) + 0.5CIV(Astha)

5. CIV(Astha) = CLV(Jonson) + CIV (Johnson)

6. CIV(Jonson) = 0

7. CIV(Sahil) = 0
On solving the equations from bottom to top,

CIV(Astha) = 45+0 = 45

CIV(Teher) = 40 + 0 + 5 + 22.5 = 67.50

CIV(Babil) = 50 + 67.50 = 117.50

CIV(Richa) = 5 + 22.5 + 15 + 58.75 = 101.25

CIV(Jogi) = 15 + 58.75 + 75 + 101.25 = 250

Q2. Based on the below information calculate the Customer Referral Value (CRV) of a typical

customer for one year (over 2 periods)

Solution: As per the data, annual rate of discount is 15%, therefore, half yearly discount is 7.5%

We will use the below formula:


1st Six months (1st half):

= (3*((56-10-25+15)/1.075)) + (2*(15/1.1075))

= 3*33.488 + 2*13.953

= 128.37

2nd six months (second half):

= (56-10-25+15)/(1.075)^2 + 15/(1.075)^2 + (56-25)/(1.075)^2

= 3*31.15 + 2*12.97 + 3*26.82

= 199.89

Net CRV = 128.37 + 199.89 = 328.26

Therefore, Net CRV = 328.26

Q3.

3 (a) “By focusing the reference program efforts only on the high value customers, it is possible for

companies to increase their CRV.”

(1) Do you agree with this statement? If not, state all the possible reasons.
(2) What are the drivers of maximizing CRV? Please explain rather than just listing the

attributes.

Solutions:

1. I disagree with the statement because of the below reasons:

● Limited Vision: Only aiming at high-value customers might miss out on the chance to

involve lower-value ones, who together can add a lot to CRV.

● Too Much Pressure: High-value customers might get too many referral requests, which

could make them feel annoyed and affect how they feel about the brand.

2. By ensuring high-value customers are satisfied, companies can encourage these key customers to

refer others, thereby maximizing CRV.

○ Personalized Experiences: Providing personalized experiences and addressing the

specific needs and preferences of high-value customers can enhance their satisfaction and

loyalty. This, in turn, makes them more likely to become enthusiastic referrers.

○ Feedback and Improvement: Actively seeking feedback from high-value customers and

making improvements based on their input can lead to higher satisfaction. When

customers see that their opinions matter and lead to positive changes, they feel a stronger

connection to the brand and are more likely to refer it

3(b) To spread the WOM in social media, what drivers would you use to pick the right influential

individuals? Does the one who spread the message to more people likely to yield more profits

through their influence on others? Discuss the reasons

Solution- To spread the word of mouth, the below drivers would be picked for the right influential

candidates:
1. Monitor the Conversations: Use social listening tools to track mentions, hashtags, and keywords related
to your industry or brand.

2. Identify Individuals Who Can Spread the Message: Find people already talking about topics relevant to
your brand.

3. Identify Factors for Ideal Candidates: Look for:

● Reach: Number of followers.


● Engagement: Interaction levels (likes, comments, shares).
● Relevance: Content alignment with your brand.
● Authenticity: Trustworthiness and genuine presence

4. Locate All Ideal Candidates: Use social media tools to find influencers who match these factors.

5. Recruit Ideal Candidates: Reach out to these influencers and propose collaborations that benefit both
parties.

6. Use Candidates in a Campaign: Incorporate influencers into your marketing campaign, letting them
share authentic experiences.

7. Reap the Rewards: Monitor results to see increased brand awareness, engagement, and sales.

Big influencers may get your product seen by more people, but they don't always bring more profits.
Influencers with engaged followers who trust them can actually be more effective. It’s key that people
really hear what the influencer says. Even if the influencer doesn’t have lots of followers, if those who
follow them really listen and respond, it can lead to more sales.So, it's crucial to pick influencers based on
trust and engagement, not just their follower count, for successful social media campaigns.

Q4. An appliance manufacturer has grouped its customers into 4 cells as given in Table 1. If the

company wants to maximize profitability and brand value, what strategic initiatives should it take

with respect to customers in each cell? In other words, describe your strategy with respect to the

components of Brand Value


Solution- Based on the above table, we can categorize the customer cells into 4 categories:

Cell 1: Friends (High CLV and Low CBV)

Cell 2: Fans (High CLV and High CBV)

Cell 3: Outsiders (Low CLV and Low CBV)

Cell 4: Infrequent Buyers (Low CLV and High CBV)
