3 Reasons Why Tracking LTV Matters

It shows the true worth of your customers

Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) reveals the long-term financial impact of each customer relationship.
By calculating LTV, you can understand how much revenue an average customer brings to your business over time and identify areas to improve.

It helps shape retention and pricing strategies

By analyzing LTV by customer segment, you can see which initiatives, like loyalty programs or price adjustments, provide the greatest ROI.
Additionally, integrating LTV with churn metrics helps you assess the real cost of losing a customer.

It empowers future planning

LTV offers critical insights into the sustainability of your growth model.
A strong LTV helps you allocate resources strategically, forecast revenue, and plan for smart, scalable growth.
