Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) Analysis

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) Analysis

Understanding and enhancing the lifetime value of customers is critical for Shopify merchants who aim to build long-term profitability. AngularView’s “Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) Analysis” dashboards empower merchants with insights across yearly, quarterly, monthly, and weekly timeframes, offering a comprehensive view of customer behaviors, trends, and opportunities for growth.


Yearly Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) Analysis Dashboard

The yearly CLV dashboard is designed to provide a strategic perspective of customer value over multiple years.

  • How It Works:
    This dashboard includes essential metrics like “Customer Lifetime Value,” “Average Order Value (AOV),” and “Median (50th Percentile),” allowing merchants to monitor long-term patterns. Dimensions such as “Shop Name” and “Customer State” help localize performance insights.
  • Why It Matters:
    • Assess the overall effectiveness of customer retention strategies.
    • Identify top-performing regions or segments contributing most to CLV.
    • Uncover long-term trends in customer purchasing behaviors.
  • Tips to Maximize Effectiveness:
    • Enable additional metrics like “Gross Profit” to align CLV insights with profitability.
    • Use “Does Customer Accept Marketing?” to evaluate how marketing opt-ins affect CLV growth.
  • Real-Life Example:
    A merchant identifies that customers in a particular state contribute the highest CLV and decides to launch a loyalty program tailored to that region.

Quarterly Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) Analysis Dashboard

Quarterly CLV insights are perfect for tracking shorter-term changes and adapting strategies accordingly.

  • What It Reveals:
    This dashboard uses metrics like “New Order Count” and “75th Percentile” to evaluate customer value trends each quarter. It includes time settings such as “Last 2 Quarters” and “Last 4 Quarters” to provide focused analysis.
  • Challenges It Addresses:
    • Detect shifts in high-value customer segments within a quarter.
    • Measure the quarterly impact of campaigns on AOV and CLV.
    • Evaluate the success of product launches in driving customer value.
  • Suggestions for Best Use:
    • Analyze the “Mode” metric to understand the most frequent order value range within the quarter.
    • Combine “Customer Email” insights with CLV data to identify high-value customers for personalized offers.
  • Example Scenario:
    A merchant notices a significant drop in CLV for Q2 and attributes it to delayed product launches. By expediting production schedules, they boost Q3 performance.

Monthly Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) Analysis Dashboard

The monthly dashboard is tailored for merchants seeking actionable insights on short-term customer behaviors.

  • Features and Benefits:
    Default measures such as “Order Subtotal” and “Customer Lifetime Value” allow merchants to monitor month-by-month shifts. CLV in each month is calculated based on the purchasing behaviour of the customer in the respective month.
  • How It Helps Solve Problems:
    • Identify high-value customers who consistently purchase during specific months.
    • Address spikes or declines in monthly AOV and CLV with targeted interventions.
    • Evaluate marketing campaigns’ effectiveness in real-time.
  • Pro Tips:
    • Use “Customer Display Name” to pinpoint individuals driving the most value each month.
  • Practical Use Case:
    A merchant identifies that February CLV spikes correlate with Valentine’s Day campaigns, leading them to invest further in February-specific promotions.

Weekly Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) Analysis Dashboard

Weekly CLV tracking ensures merchants can respond quickly to changing customer dynamics.

  • What It Offers:
    Metrics like “Order Updates” and “90th Percentile” provide a detailed view of short-term customer value trends. Weekly settings allow merchants to isolate specific weeks or monitor rolling trends.
  • Immediate Benefits:
    • Quickly identify the success of flash sales in driving CLV.
    • Respond to customer feedback or complaints affecting value during specific weeks.
    • Monitor high-value customer behaviors weekly for personalized engagement.
  • Tips for Weekly Success:
    • Enable “RFM Segmentation” to categorize customers into high, medium, and low-value groups.
    • Use “Shop Name” dimensions to compare weekly CLV trends across different stores.
  • Example in Action:
    A sharp dip in weekly CLV prompts a merchant to analyze complaints about delayed deliveries. By addressing the issue quickly, they maintain customer loyalty.
