Ans) Lifetime value of customer refers to the maximum amount of
profit that can be made per customer over a time. Following are
some of the ways in which IKEA can maximise its lifetime value of a
customer ÷
- Providing loyalty points- providing loyalty points to the
customer on each purchase with option of redeeming it when a
certain level is reached will keep customers engaged for long in
buying the products. And they will prefer the next purchase from
your store as they will have a benefit of redeeming the points and
availing the discount.
- Improve onboarding process- it will help in engaging the
customer with the product and can at the same time leave a positive
impact for the product and company on the customer. This is though
beneficial for all types of customers but it particularly plays a
great role in influencing new customers.
- Providing best customer service and complaint redressal-
customer service plays an important part in keeping the trust of
customers for a long time. Also quick complaint redressal helps in
strengthening the trust of the customer building a long term
relationship.
- IKEA should be present on as many communication channels as
possible to catch more public attention.
- Enhancing the purchasing experience of the customer by
providing a complimentary gift or a thank you message on registered
number.
