Customer value

Customer value is best defined as how much a product or your online store is worth to a customer. Actually, buyers purchase a product if the benefits are more significant than the costs, giving them satisfaction.


Customer value is the term of satisfaction of your customer towards your product or service. Basically, it’s a metric of all the costs and benefits associated with a product or service of your business.

Customer value isn’t only about money. The value word has many different meanings. Some value means price (Cost of bike) to others it means benefit (Value from the bike) and It also means the worth of something.

It's the perception of what a product or service is worth to a customer against the alternatives. Worth means whether the customer satisfy or feels he got benefits and services from what he paid.

Always reward your loyal customers. You can set rules to provide special pricing to customers based on tiers and reward returning customers. Konigle's Shopify Customer Loyalty Pricing helps you implement customer loyalty pricing for your Shopify stores, reward your customers, and increase customer LTV.
