Let’s dive in!

How to Calculate your Average Sales per Customer on Shopify
Calculating your Average Sales per Customer on Shopify manually is straightforward: divide your Total Sales by the Number of Customers in a given period. For example, if your store made $10,000 in sales and had 100 customers in a month, your Average Sales per Customer would be $100. It’s that simple. This basic formula can provide valuable insights into your store’s performance and customer behavior.
Benefits of using By the Numbers to access your Average Sales per Customer Report.
By the Numbers shows regular filtering capabilities by date, range, sales channel, and segment. However, this report also allows you to group your results by hour, day, week, month, quarter, and year, giving you adapted results for each.
Imagine the potential of segmenting your audience and launching personalized campaigns. By grouping customers with similar characteristics, you can engage them more personally. Why not target only your top-tier spenders with an upsell campaign? This is just the beginning; the more creative you get, the more you can boost your sales. By the Numbers app allows for custom segmentation and app integrations, giving you the tools to convert your innovative ideas into reality.
After that, a By the Numbers user would use the app integrations (Klaviyo, Google Ads, TikTok Ads and Meta) to launch an upsell campaign and incorporate the data provided by these platforms into BtN’s reports.
Let’s talk a little bit about BtN’s two main features:

This means you can engage the customers who populate your segments in personalized campaigns through the abovementioned platforms. You can trust that the data gathered by these platforms and incorporated into your reports will be accurate and reliable, giving you a secure foundation for your decisions.
