Sammanfattning	Customer equity modeling treats a firm's customers as financial assets and defines the value of the firm's customer base as the sum of the discounted lifetime values of its current and future customers. The idea was crystallized by Robert Blattberg and John Deighton, who proposed managing marketing by the 'customer equity test,' asking of any initiative whether it will grow customer equity, and who showed how to balance spending between acquiring new customers and retaining existing ones. Roland Rust, Katherine Lemon and Valarie Zeithaml extended the framework into a strategic, driver-based model, decomposing customer equity into value equity (objective perceptions of quality, price and convenience), brand equity (subjective and emotional brand perceptions) and retention equity (the strength of the customer relationship and loyalty programs). Their 'Return on Marketing' approach links each marketing action through these drivers to brand-switching probabilities, to changes in lifetime value, and ultimately to the change in customer equity it produces, so competing strategies can be compared on projected financial return. Customer equity modeling thus connects customer-level analytics to firm-level valuation and budget allocation, providing a common currency for marketing decisions.	Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) is a financial metric that quantifies the total profit a company expects to generate from its relationship with a customer over the entire duration of that relationship. Developed through work by Blattberg, Getz, and Thomas in the 1990s-2000s, CLV integrates acquisition costs, purchase behavior, retention rates, and margin information to estimate the net present value of each customer.
