Customer LTV—the primary marketing metric

LTV is your primary marketing metric when you try to grow your business. It shows you what customers to prioritize and how to adapt your marketing strategy to maximize profits. Eventually, LTV helps to boost sales and revenue while keeping marketing spend optimized.

Higher LTV is...
Did you know? Customer lifetime value is sometimes also referred to as CLV, CLTV, or even LCV.
Don’t worry, they mean absolutely the same thing. For consistency, we at Verfacto stick to the LTV acronym.

How to use customer LTV in marketing
Knowing customer lifetime value is vital. However, this knowledge would lead you nowhere if you don’t know how to incorporate LTV into your marketing. We have collected several use case examples to demonstrate what you can do when you know which customers spend more and why.
1
Findings
LTV analysis showed that customers who buy sample packs have a 70% lower customer LTV and a low second purchase rate.
Actions
Set up A/B test to hide sample packs from customers.
A/B testing proved that customers spend more if they don't see sample packs. Removing samples from the shop lead to an 8% revenue increase.
2
Findings
LTV Smart Segments (customer segments generated by Verfacto Machine Learning algorithms) identified 16 distinctive groups of customers with demographic, purchasing, and behavioral characteristics that significantly affect their lifetime value.
Actions
Exported TOP 5 LTV-driven segments and created a Facebook lookalike audience for the biggest spenders.
Lookalike audience for the biggest spenders brought customers with a 13% higher average LTV within the first month (money they spent in the short term) and 19% higher predicted LTV (money they are expected to spend within a year).
