How to Use Customer Lifetime Behavior Reports
The homepage of Customer Lifetime Behavior shows nine reports. Each report tile includes a key takeaway or metric that highlights a driver or outlier in customer behavior or performance across customer cohorts, segments, and types compared to the average customer.
- Segment Comparison: Compare key customer segments against top KPIs to help determine which segments are most valuable to driving objectives measured by different metrics.
- Acquisition Quality: Compare the relative quality of weekly, monthly, or quarterly new customer cohorts. Analyze their initial impact by understanding first transaction values and their long-term contributions by viewing their % of value retained over time.
- Migration Timing: Compare the quality of migration strategies by acquisition cohort. Identify how many acquired customers purchase again within 4, 8, 13, and 52 weeks.
- First Purchase Impact: Compare the quality of acquiring categories, brands, and selling locations. Analyze their immediate benefits by understanding first transaction values and their long-term contribution by understanding their % of value retained over time.
- RFM: Segment customers by recency, frequency, and monetary value bins to identify opportunistic and at-risk customer populations.
- Product Profit Decile: The customer cohort is most likely to provide the highest lifetime profit/customer compared to the average.
- Sales Decile: The customer cohort is most likely to provide the highest lifetime revenue/customer compared to the average.
- Discount Decile: The customer cohort is most likely to provide the highest Lifetime Discount Rate compared to the average.
- Returns Decile: The customer cohort is most likely to provide the highest lifetime return rate compared to the average.
The timeframe for this analysis type will automatically change to be lifetime through to the current day. All data and metrics included will be calculated based on their lifetime.
