The Retention report focuses on understanding and improving customer loyalty and long-term engagement. It provides insights into repeated purchases, loyalty program performance, customer lifetime value (CLV), and customer satisfaction using Net Promoter Score (NPS). This report helps identify opportunities to retain existing customers and maximize their lifetime value. Below is a description of the blocks and their uses.
Block 1: Repeated Customers
This block provides an overview of customers who have made more than one purchase:
• Displays the total number of repeat customers and their percentage change from the previous month.
• A circle graph visualizes the percentage of repeat customers in three categories (low, medium, and high engagement).
• Metrics include:
• Initial Users: Repeat customers at the start of the selected timeframe.
• New Users: Customers who became repeat buyers during the timeframe.
• Final Users: Total repeat customers by the end of the timeframe.
• Newsletter Subscribers: Percentage of repeat customers subscribed to newsletters.
• Loyalty Program Participants: Percentage of repeat customers enrolled in loyalty programs.
• Usefulness: Helps track retention trends, evaluate the effectiveness of loyalty programs, and identify areas to improve customer engagement.
Block 2: Average Repurchase Time
This block shows the average number of days between a customer’s first and second purchase:
• Displays changes in repurchase time compared to the previous month.
• Usefulness: Helps assess how quickly customers return to make another purchase, indicating satisfaction and product appeal. Shorter repurchase cycles often reflect strong customer loyalty.
Block 3: Average Order Value (AOV)
This block highlights the average order value of repeat customers:
• Shows the AOV in the selected currency and its percentage change from the previous month.
• Usefulness: Identifies trends in customer spending and helps evaluate the success of upselling and cross-selling efforts.
Block 4: Loyalty Program Performance
This block focuses on customers participating in loyalty or membership programs:
• Displays the total number of loyalty program members and their percentage change from the previous month.
• Usefulness: Measures the effectiveness of loyalty programs and provides insights into their impact on customer retention.
Block 5: Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)
This block analyzes the lifetime value of your customers:
• Displays the average and median CLV across all customers.
• A line graph tracks CLV trends over time, helping you understand how lifetime value evolves with different campaigns and strategies.
• Usefulness: Helps you identify high-value customers and plan strategies to increase overall customer value.
Block 6: Net Promoter Score (NPS)
This block measures customer satisfaction and loyalty using NPS:
• Displays the average NPS score with one decimal place and represents it as stars for simplicity (e.g., NPS 10 = 5 stars).
• Tracks changes in the average NPS over time with a line graph.
• Highlights how much the average NPS score has increased or decreased since the last measurement.
• Usefulness: Provides a direct measure of customer satisfaction and helps you monitor the impact of changes in your products or services on customer perception.
Block 7: CLV by Source
This block analyzes CLV based on the source of the customer:
• A bar chart shows the value of CLV segmented by acquisition channels (e.g., social media, search, email).
• Timeframe filters allow monthly or custom period views.
• Usefulness: Identifies which acquisition channels bring the most valuable customers, helping you optimize marketing spend and focus on high-performing channels.
How is this report useful?
• Track customer loyalty: Monitor how effectively you retain customers and identify strategies to increase repeat purchases.
• Evaluate program performance: Assess the success of loyalty programs and NPS scores in fostering customer satisfaction.
• Optimize marketing efforts: Focus resources on channels and strategies that drive high CLV and repeat purchases.
