Understanding Customer Lifetime Value Basics:
CLV measures the total revenue a single customer (or average customer) generates over their relationship with your business. "Per customer" refers to one customer or an average across customers. B2C CLV is often lower (e.g., > $2,000 is high) due to volume; B2B is higher (e.g., > $20,000 is high) due to longer contracts. Aim for a 3:1 CLV:CAC ratio for sustainability. High CLV supports retention-focused strategies.
Key Components:
1. Business Type: Select B2B or B2C for tailored benchmarks.
2. Period: Choose monthly or annual for purchase value and frequency.
3. Average Purchase Value: Revenue per customer purchase (single or averaged) in AUD.
4. Purchase Frequency: Number of purchases per customer in the period (e.g., 2 times/month).
5. Customer Lifespan: Average years a customer stays with your business.
