Customer Churn Prediction and Prevention

Predicting and preventing customer churn represents a huge additional potential revenue source for every business.

What is Customer Churn?

Customer churn (also known as customer attrition) refers to when a customer (player, subscriber, user, etc.) ceases his or her relationship with a company. Online businesses typically treat a customer as churned once a particular amount of has elapsed since the customer's last interaction with the site or service. The full cost of churn includes both lost revenue and the marketing costs involved with replacing those customers with new ones. Reducing churn is a key business goal of every online business.

The Importance of Predicting Customer Churn

The ability to predict that a particular customer is at a high risk of churning, while there is still to do something about it, represents a huge additional potential revenue source for every online business. Besides the direct loss of revenue that results from a customer abandoning the business, the costs of initially acquiring that customer may not have already been covered by the customer's spending to date. (In other words, acquiring that customer may have actually been a losing investment.) Furthermore, it is always more difficult and expensive to acquire a new customer than it is to retain a current paying customer.

Reducing Customer Churn with Targeted Proactive Retention

In order to succeed at retaining customers who would otherwise abandon the business, marketers and retention experts must be able to (a) predict in advance which customers are going to churn through churn analysis and (b) know which marketing actions will have the greatest retention impact on each particular customer. Armed with this knowledge, a large proportion of customer churn can be eliminated.

While simple in theory, the realities involved with achieving this "proactive retention" goal are extremely challeg.

The Difficulty of Predicting Churn

Churn prediction modeling techniques attempt to understand the precise customer behaviours and attributes which signal the risk and timing of customer churn. The accuracy of the technique used is obviously critical to the success of any proactive retention efforts. After all, if the marketer is unaware of a customer about to churn, no action will be taken for that customer. Additionally, special retention-focused offers or incentives may be inadvertently provided to happy, active customers, resulting in reduced revenues for no good reason.

Unfortunately, most of the churn prediction modeling methods rely on quantifying risk based on static data and metrics, i.e., information about the customer as he or she exists right now. The most common churn prediction models are based on older statistical and data-mining methods, such as logistic regression and other binary modeling techniques. These approaches offer some value and can identify a certain percentage of at-risk customers, but they are relatively inaccurate and end up leaving money on the table.

A Better Churn Prediction Model

Optimove uses a newer and far more accurate approach to customer churn prediction: at the core of Optimove's ability to accurately predict which customers will churn is a unique method of calculating customer life value (LTV) for each and every customer. The LTV forecasting technology built into Optimove is based on advanced acad research and was further developed and improved over a number of years by a team of first-rate PhDs and software developers. This method is battle-tested and proven as an accurate and effective approach in a wide range of industries and customer scenarios.

Without revealing too much about the "secret sauce" of Optimove's customer churn prediction technology, the approach combines continual dynamic micro-sntation and a unique, mathematically intensive predictive behaviour modeling system. The former intelligently and automatically snts the entire customer base into a hierarchical structure of ever-smaller behavioural-demographic snts. This sntation is dynamic and updated continually based on changes in the data. The latter is based on the fact that the behaviour patterns of individual customers frequently change over . In other words, the "snt route history" of each customer is an extremely important factor deteing when and why the customer may churn.

By meg the most exacting micro-sntation available anywhere with a deep understanding of how customers move from one micro-snt to another over - including the ability to predict those moves before they occur - an unprecedented degree of churn analysis accuracy is attainable.

Beyond Customer Churn Analysis: Preventing Customer Value Attrition

Optimove goes beyond simply predicting which customers will abandon the business by providing early warnings regarding customers whose life value prediction has declined substantially during the recent period, even though they are still active and may not abandon the business entirely in the near future.

Optimove's ability to identify customers which fall into this "decliner" category helps marketers increase revenues from existing customers, while simultaneously reducing the number of customers who may fall into the risk-of-churn category.

Now What? Targeted Proactive Retention

Predicting churn is important only to the extent that effective action can be taken to retain the customer before it is too late. A central - and unique - aspect of Optimove is the software's combination of cutting-edge churn prediction capabilities and a marketing action optimization ee.

Once those customers at risk of churning have been identified, the marketer has to know exactly what marketing action to run on each individual customer to maximize the chances that the customer will remain a customer. Since different customers exhibit different behaviors and preferences, and since different customers churn for different reasons, it is critical to practice "targeted proactive retention." This means knowing in advance which marketing action will be the most effective for each and every customer.

This course will introduce the learners to different aspects of Churn like proactive vs reactive strategy, the need for a Churn Prediction Model and the IT & Operations Dimensions in Churn. A Churn Maturity Framework is also being covered that can be used to assess your organization's maturity for Churn Management. For Machine learning enthusiasts, a walkthrough of the churn prediction model code is provided.
