What Is a Good Lifetime Value

Generally speaking, your Customer Lifetime Value should be at least three times greater than your Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). In other words, if you’re spending $100 on marketing to acquire a new customer, that customer should have an LTV of at least $300.

What is average lifetime value?

The simplest formula for measuring customer lifetime value is the average order total multiplied by the average number of purchases in a year multiplied by average retention time in years. This provides the average lifetime value of a customer based on existing data.

What does high customer lifetime value mean?

Customer lifetime value is the total worth to a business of a customer over the whole period of their relationship. It’s an important metric as it costs less to keep existing customers than it does to acquire new ones, so increasing the value of your existing customers is a great way to drive growth.
