How to increase subscriber customer lifetime value

Customer lifetime value, often abbreviated as CLTV or LTV seems self-explanatory: the total profit you make from an average customer between their first and last purchase.

While the definition is straightforward, calculating it and understanding how to optimize and increase it can be more challenging. You need to strike a balance that’s right for your business by adjusting four key levers that affect LTV.

But at the end of the day, the secret to being more profitable is happy customers. The purpose of all these concepts and formulas is to help you find more efficient and effective ways to do so.

Customer lifetime value definition
LTV refers to the total profit you earn from the average customer over the course of time they’re engaged with your service, or over a specified timeframe.

It’s calculation most often associated with subscriptions because it’s relatively easy to see how much a customer has spent with you until the time they cancel. However, LTV can also take into account things like one-off purchases during a specific time period.
