Frequent Inquiries
What tools does MultiMarket Growth use for Shopify analytics?
Our core analytics stack includes Google Analytics 4 for web and marketing analytics, Google Tag Manager server-side for accurate data collection, Looker Studio for reporting dashboards, Shopify Analytics for native ecommerce data, Triple Whale or Northbeam for advanced attribution where appropriate, and spreadsheet modelling for customer LTV, cohort, and financial analysis. We select tools based on your store's complexity, data volume, and reporting requirements.
How does MultiMarket Growth calculate customer lifetime value?
We calculate both historical LTV (actual revenue from customers acquired in a given period) and predictive LTV (projected future revenue based on cohort behaviour). Historical LTV is calculated from actual order data segmented by acquisition cohort. Predictive LTV uses cohort retention curves, average order value trends, and purchase frequency patterns to project future revenue. We segment LTV by acquisition channel to understand which marketing investments generate the most valuable long-term customers.
What does a MultiMarket Growth Shopify quarterly growth plan include?
Our quarterly growth plan includes a complete review of the previous quarter's performance against targets, customer and product deep-dive analytics, channel performance analysis, a prioritised list of 10 to 15 specific actions for the coming quarter with expected revenue impact and required investment, marketing budget recommendation, technology and operations improvement recommendations, risk assessment, and a 12-month revenue trajectory model updated with current performance data. The plan is presented in a strategy workshop format with your leadership team.
