Understanding Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) and Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) to Grow Your Business

5/29/2020

The Keys to Growing Your Business with Online Marketing

Most Businesses that are looking for Online Marketing in Connecticut don't understand the metrics that truly matter.  There are several factors that dictate business growth, but the most important factors are:
  • Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)
  • Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)

Customer Lifetime Value - #1 Key to Grow Your Business

Customer Lifetime Value is how much a customer is worth over the life of that customer.

Let's say you run a CrossFit Gym in Danbury and you charge $150 /month for 3 classes per week.  I went to that same CrossFit Gym for 3 years before moving to Southbury.  

Customer Will's Revenue Per Year = $1800

Customer Relationship Duration = 3 years

Total Revenue:  $5400

Profit Margin on Revenue:  50% (for example)

Minimum Lifetime Customer Value: $2700

Referral Amplifier:  I referred my wife and a friend of mine to this gym.  My wife's CLV was lower because she joined half way through and left with me after 1 1/2 years.  My friend Jenn's CLV is still going up because she's still at the gym for close to 2 years already.

Referral Value:  $3150
My wife ($1350) + My friend Jenn ($900 per year, $1800 so far)

Maximum Lifetime Customer Value:  $5850

Now you've got to run your stats.  Look through every single customer you've ever had and figure out the Average Lifetime Customer Value!


Average Lifetime Customer Value:  $4275 (Minimum LCV + Max LCV /2)

Customer Acquisition Cost - #2 Key To Grow Your Business

Cost of Customer Acquisition is the next metric to fully understand.  

From the first look at hiring a marketing company in Connecticut you might think that if you're going to pay $750 per month for internet marketing that you've got to get 5 new customers to break even on marketing.

5 Customers @ $150 = $750

But after understanding Customer Lifetime Value you'll now understand that:

​5 Customers @ $4275 = $21375

Even if you pay $750 /month and get 1 new customer @ $4275 LCV it still makes perfect sense.

Losing to Grow: CLV + CAC 

There's a MASSIVE difference between average businesses and growing businesses.  The difference comes down to understanding CLV & CAC and having a willingness to Lose.

If this gym needs to pay $750 for 1 Customer knowing that their LCV is $4275 then how do they eat in the meantime?

Debt Leverage is the answer.  They'll need to call their local bank and get a business line of credit to be able to survive until their LCV catches up.

Growth-minded Businesses understand this.  

​The average business owner doesn't.

The question is: which are you?

How to attract clients as a TMJ Specialist

3 Ways to Market yourself as a TMJ Specialist

Becoming a TMJ Expert is hard enough.  Realizing that new patients won't be knocking down doors to get into your dental clinic is harder.  We work with many TMJ Treatment Specialists to attract new patients and here's 3 ways to market yourself as a TMJ Specialist.

1) Get a DBA

Getting a "Do Business As" from your city is the first step to clearly marking yourself as a specialist.  

To your right is a picture of the search results when I googled "TMJ Specialist NYC".  

Who would you pick out of that line up?

Statistics say that upwards or 50% of people will pick the first listing because it's the first listing regardless of their star rating.

However the point that I'm trying to make is that Michael Gelb has positioned himself as a TMJ Specialist whereas Dr Tananbaum has better reviews, but we're not 100% he's actually an expert in TMJ Treatment.  

In the second picture I've googled "TMJ Specialist San Diego" and the first page real estate is completely taken up by the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of San Diego.

The TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of San Diego... now that's an authoritative statement.  You can easily do that with a simple "Doing Business As" from your city hall.

2) Provide Education Materials on your Website

A ton of research goes into answering questions such as:
  • Why is my jaw hurting?
  • Why is my jaw clicking when I eat?
  • What does TMJ stand for in medical terms?
Answering these questions and more on your website is an excellent way to further position yourself as an expert in TMJ.  Having a plethora of content on your website will also help your search results ranking.

SEO Specialists always say that "Content is King" because it helps with Search Engine Optimization.  This statement is absolutely true in the case of having a strong TMJ Treatment Website because of the long sales cycle.  People often suffer from pain in their temporomandibular joint for years before finally making the decision to call a TMJ Dental Specialist.  

You'll need to have a TON of information for your potential patients consume on your website.  

3) Display Before & After Pictures

Before and Afters are the key to success.  These pictures help to paint the picture of what your patients will look like when their done with the treatment.  TMJ is a large investment so you'll need to provide excellent proof of past success.  Depending on what form of continuing education you receive there may be the option to use pictures of patients who've had your treatment from other specialists.

Imagery is another big key to your website, but if you can get a video testimonial from one of your clients that far more valuable than any picture.
