Customer lifetime value
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) represents the total revenue you can expect from a customer over the entire duration of their relationship with your company. It's a projection of how much a customer is likely to spend on your products or services, from their first purchase to their last.

The formula for calculating CLV typically involves multiplying the average purchase value by the average number of purchases over a given period of time, followed by considering the customer retention rate.

Tracking CLV is important for lead generation because it helps you understand the long-term value facebook database of customer acquisition. While it's important to focus on generating leads, it's equally important to ensure those leads are converted into high-value, long-term customers.

I also prioritize tracking customer lifetime value (CLV) because it informs long-term marketing strategies and guides resource allocation.

A high customer lifetime value means your business is building strong relationships with customers who are likely to make repeat purchases and generate ongoing revenue.

This metric is crucial when combined with Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) because it allows you to compare how much you spend to acquire a customer versus how much revenue that customer is expected to generate over time.

If your CLV is significantly higher than your CAC, your lead generation efforts are on the right track. On the other hand, if your CAC is higher than your CLV, adjustments are necessary to improve profitability.
