From the Paper:

"Determining the CLV, or economic worth of a customer, is, in principle, a straightforward exercise. To calculate CLV, project the net cash son, household, or company whose revenues over time exceed, by an acceptable amount, the company costs of attracting, selling, and servicing that customer. This excess is called customer lifetime value (CLV).

Recognizing its importance, many researchers in direct marketing have studied CLV and its managerial applications "
