Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)

Definition: Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) estimates the total revenue a business can expect from a customer over their relationship with the company.

Formula:
(Avg Purchase Value × Purchase Frequency) × Customer Lifespan

Why It Matters:
A higher CLV means better long-term profitability and customer loyalty.

How to Improve:

Example Calculation:

If a customer spends $50 per order, buys 5 times per year, and stays for 3 years:

CLV=(50×5)×3=750
