What is Customer Lifetime Value?

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV or LTV) is the total revenue a customer generates over their entire relationship with your store. It's one of the most important metrics for sustainable e-commerce growth.

Knowing your CLV tells you how much you can afford to spend to acquire a customer (CAC). The golden rule: CLV should be at least 3x your CAC.

How to Increase CLV

  • Email marketing: Build flows — welcome, post-purchase, win-back
  • Loyalty programs: Reward repeat purchases
  • Subscriptions: Turn one-time buyers into subscribers
  • Cross-selling: Recommend related products
  • Customer experience: Fast shipping, easy returns, great support
