Examples of Customer Lifetime Value metrics and KPIs

Metrics for Increasing Revenue and Users

  • 1. Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)

    The total expected revenue from a customer over the duration of their business relationship. It helps in understanding how much a company should spend on acquiring new customers.

    What good looks like for this metric: Benchmarks vary by industry, but generally a CLV to customer acquisition cost (CAC) ratio of 3:1 is considered good

    Ideas to improve this metric
    • Enhance customer retention strategies to increase repeat purchases
    • Personalise customer experience based on data analysis
    • Optimise pricing strategies to maximise revenue
    • Increase customer engagement through targeted marketing campaigns
    • Develop loyalty programs to encourage customer retention
