The Customer Lifetime Value Solution by HVG


Is your team missing a massive opportunity, by not understanding CLV?

How does this solution work?

It's a self-refreshing dynamic solution built for WooCommerce and Shopify where we connect real sales-data to Google Cloud and visualize a CLV analysis.


What is CLV?

Customer Lifetime Value is a KPI usually used by Marketing Teams that allows you to measure revenue from customers over a longer period.


But as with everything in life, there's more to it.


What can you measure with a CLV analysis solution?

A lot of things, let me list what you can measure with HVG's solution:

  • Total Unified Customer ID's

  • First Time Customers

  • Returning Customers

If you're wondering; "Why does First time and Returning not equal Total Unified Customer ID's?", it's because there are First time customers during the selected period, that have become returning customers as well.

  • Total Revenue

  • Total Orders

  • Avg. Customer Lifetime Value

Avg. CLV = (Total Successful Revenue) / Amount of (Unified Customer ID's)
Avg. CLV = (Total Successful Revenue) / Amount of (Unified Customer ID's)
  • 12 Months Avg. Days Between Last 2 Orders

  • 12 Months Med. Days Between Last 2 Orders

  • Purchase Frequency Per Year

    • How many orders the average customer will make per year.

Side Note: My favorit data from this report, Dynamic RFM

A dynamic RFM report for last 365 days AND all time.

RFM stands for;

  • Recency

    • How recent someone made a purchase VS the total order data

  • Frequency

    • How many orders someone made VS the total order data

  • Monetary

    • How much revenue someone made VS the total order data


For this solution, we're looking at the last 365 days of order data.

We split the year (365 days) into 5 groups, and call this r_score (Recency Score).

  • Group 1 = Orders Made 0-73 Days Ago

  • Group 2 = Orders Made 74-147 Days Ago

  • Group 3 = Orders Made 148-221 Days Ago

  • Group 4 = Orders Made 222-295 Days Ago

  • Group 5 = Orders Made 296-365 Days Ago


We split all the customers and count their total orders made last 365 days into 5 groups, and call this f_score (Frequency Score)

  • Customer Group 1 = Top 20% Customers With Most Orders Placed Last 365 Days

  • Customer Group 2 = Top 21-40% Customers With Most Orders Placed Last 365 Days

  • Customer Group 3 = Top 41-60% Customers With Most Orders Placed Last 365 Days

  • Customer Group 4 = Top 61-80% Customers With Most Orders Placed Last 365 Days

  • Customer Group 5 = Bottom 20% Customers With Most Orders Placed Last 365 Days

Once you have all of these groups, you are able to see what (and how many) customers, have generated how much of your total Revenue, and it allows you to see customers that are maybe loosing loyalty due to many days since last order made.

But if you want to active this information, 25 segments might be too much, so we've also created a 3x3 matrix that you can give to your Email & SMS marketing person.

If you want to have a 3x3 Matrix for Email and SMS instead, we recommend starting with this one, that is also dynamic and self-refreshing:

  • Engaged

  • Cooling

  • Dormant

Crossed with High, Mid or Low value customers.


  • Average Order Value By Order Number

    • AOV. on Order 1, AOV. on Order 2, etc.

  • Median Order Value By Order Number

  • Average Days to Previous Order

    • The amount of days on average for a customer who made Order 2 vs when Order 1 was made.

  • Median Days to Previous Order

  • A funnel that shows how many customers become Next Order Customer

    • For example, how many Order 1 customers, become Order 2 customers?

      • As seen in the screenshot, 25.42% of Order 1 customers, become Order 2 customers, and 46.35% Order 2 customers become Order 3 customers.

  • Amount of Revenue and Orders, per month that came from Returning VS First Time Customers
