    Abstract  
    STORE, MARKET, AND CONSUMER-CHARACTERISTICS: THE DRIVERS OF STORE PERFORMANCE
 
 
  
The authors develop a framework that incorporates projected profitability of customer in the computation of lifetime duration. Furthermore, the authors identify factors under a manager's control that explain the variation in the profitable lifetime duration. They also compare other frameworks with the traditional methods such as the recency, frequency, and monetary value and illustrate the superiority of the proposed framework. Finally, the authors develop several key implications that can be of value to decision makers in managing customer relationships.
