The total margin a customer generates over the entire duration of their relationship. Simply put: average order value × purchase frequency × relationship length × margin.
It tells you how much you can afford to pay to acquire a customer. Without this number, CAC has no reference point.
Without LTV, you can’t determine whether a CAC of 1,500 PLN is an opportunity or a disaster — you’re missing the other side of the equation.
When setting the upper limit for CAC, evaluating the profitability of customer segments, planning loyalty programs.
A customer buys for 800 PLN four times a year over three years at a 30% margin → LTV ≈ 2,880 PLN.
The rule of thumb says a customer’s value should be at least three times their acquisition cost. Below two, a company grows while losing money on every new customer — and the faster it grows, the faster it loses money.
