What is LTV?

LTV stands for Lifetime Value and is also known as Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV). It is a useful way to work out how much you will earn from a customer over your entire relationship with them, as opposed to just from a single sale.

By knowing how much money you will make in the long run from a new customer, you can adjust the amount you spend on getting new customers accordingly.

 

Lifetime Value Example

A pair of shoes from a particular brand sells for £50. However, each person who buys a pair of shoes from that brand generally continues to buy another pair of shoes each year for the next four years.

This means that the Average Revenue per User is £50, and the average length of the relationship is 5 years. This makes the Lifetime Value of each customer £250.
