Öz

Competition from both national and international sources has motivated firms to continually evaluate how they conduct business. In increasingly competitive markets, it is critical to know customer, market, and channel of distribution profitability as well as product profitability. Better understanding of customers’ profitability picture is imperative for survival in today’s competetive environment. Customer profitability analysis (CPA) provides the capability to determine how individual customer or customer groupings contribute to profitability. At this point, Activity-Based Costing (ABC) techniques have facilitated a firm’s understanding of customer profitability. The information obtained from CPA will guide long-term marketing, product development and capacity management decisions to yield a customer mix that will generate the greatest returns. The purpose of the paper is to show how to use Activity-Based Costing method in order to calculate the true profitability of customers and to show how intelligence emanating from customer profitability analysis (CPA) can help improve marketing decisions about product design, pricing, promotion, segmentation and targeting. It also shows how customer profitability analysis impacts customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, customer value, customer lifetime value and customer relationship management.
