CLV or “customer lifetime value” is a calculation done by companies to identify how much (on average) each person is worth to their business throughout the customers lifetime. This includes looking at the data that presents across channels, demographic, geographic, and other platforms.

For examples, if a customer is acquired through a social media account via Twitter, they are worth 23% less than the average CLV.

Don’t count out email marketing, it is on the rise. Another study noted that email marketing was beating search, social, and others as the largest conversion driver for ecommerce business / websites.

Through this data is sufficient, we also look at the organic search customer acquisition channel as well. This is much higher than email of course.

This study was done on 86 US retailers spanning across 14 industries and studied roughly 72 million customers. The analytics of choice was of course Google Analytics.
