Frequently Asked Questions
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) is a metric that represents the total revenue a business can expect from a single customer throughout their relationship with the company. It helps businesses understand the long-term value of their customer relationships and informs decisions about customer acquisition, retention, and marketing investments.
Our calculator uses the formula: CLV = (Average Sales Price - Cost per Sale) × Lifetime Number of Sales. The Net Customer Profit is then calculated by subtracting the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) from the CLV. This provides a clear picture of how much profit each customer generates over their lifetime.
Understanding CLV helps you make smarter business decisions in several ways: 1) It shows how much you can afford to spend on acquiring new customers, 2) It helps identify which customer segments are most valuable, 3) It guides retention strategy by showing the value of keeping customers longer, and 4) It provides a metric to evaluate the overall health of your business model.
You should calculate CLV when planning marketing budgets, evaluating customer acquisition channels, setting customer retention goals, developing pricing strategies, or considering business model changes. Regular CLV calculation (quarterly or annually) is recommended to track changes in customer value over time.
To increase your CLV, focus on strategies like: 1) Improving customer retention through better service and relationship building, 2) Increasing purchase frequency with follow-up marketing and loyalty programs, 3) Raising average order value through upselling and cross-selling, 4) Reducing costs to serve customers through operational efficiencies, and 5) Creating more valuable customer experiences that build loyalty.
