This paper is aimed at providing the key critical insights into the traditional customer valuation models RFM, FRAC and CLV in the context of relationship marketing. It examines the principal assumptions that have conditioned changes in the traditional approach to customer value measurement methods through the application of post-modern marketing (e.g., interactive, relationship, etc.) under the knowledge economy conditions.Although customer value can be examined using both quantitative and qualitative criteria (e.g., customer impact on public opinion, customer trust in the company, etc.), this paper treats customer value as a quantitative measure which is studied using different measurable qualitative indicators rather than analysing psychological, social and other types of qualitative criteria characterising the buyer/seller relationships.The analysis of the RFM, FRAC and CLV customer value measurement methods and of their variables is based on the methodology for the analysis and systematisation of the content of scientific and methodological literature to distinguish the key critical aspects of customer value measurement methods through the application of the principles characteristic of relationship marketing. The overview of customer value measurement methods provided in the paper does not purport for detailed research, which requires a profound study on the subject.

The aim of this article is to examine the relationship marketing model and the concept of brand community based on a case study of the content platform and production company, Netflix. Relationship marketing places a strong focus on the strategic management of collaborative relationships with customers and other stakeholders as a way of creating and distributing value in an equitable and mutually beneficial way. This study focuses on the idea of ‘community around the brand’, understood as a structured set of social relationships between the ‘fans’ of a brand and between the brand and its customers, who often dictate brand decisions. A theoretical analysis of the subject and a review of the relevant literature are followed by a case study of the leading content streaming company, Netflix, which analyses the company’s relationship marketing and community-building strategies and their role in the brand’s success.
