Retina integrates with Shopify, offers predictive analytics for customer lifetime value
The free tool shows CLV trends and identifies when customers are at risk of no longer buying from a merchant.
Analytics platform Retina has launched an integration with Shopify that gives merchants access to predictive analytics for customer lifetime value (CLV). The “Retina Go” tool can be downloaded via Shopify’s app store for free.
Why we should care
A tool is a version of the company’s full AI platform and aims to give smaller e-commerce brands access to predictive insights around customer lifetime value. The data can help merchants compete with larger retail brands and platforms like Amazon. Having the ability to predict CLV trends, based on internal data and ad campaigns targeting look-alike audiences, gives SMBs insights usually reserved for companies with data science resources.
“Retina’s new tool levels the playing field, giving these businesses the same insights that the big brands pay teams of data scientists tens of thousands of dollars to provide,” said Retina CEO Michael Greenberg.
The key component to make the most of Retina’s free tool is having a marketing team that understands the impact of CLV and can apply the metrics offered by Retina Go to ongoing campaigns.
