Frequently Asked Questions

How is customer lifetime value calculated?

Average order value × orders per year × gross margin × average customer lifespan in years. Use contribution margin, not revenue — a $500-revenue customer at 30% margin is worth $150, not $500.

How do I increase customer lifetime value?

Raise repeat purchase rate (email/SMS flows, subscriptions), grow AOV (bundles, thresholds), and extend lifespan (loyalty programs, replenishment reminders). Retention moves LTV faster than acquisition ever will.

What LTV:CAC ratio should I target?

3:1 is the classic benchmark — below 2:1 growth burns cash, far above 4:1 may mean underinvesting in growth. Measure on margin-based LTV over a 12-month window for honesty.
