There are bargain hunters, and customers who don't mind spending more.
You guessed it, which segment drives more profit for your business.
But, how to find those that are worth more?
Brands overlook one crucial aspect to find high-quality customers:
The purchase motivation; the reason why customers buy your product.
Why is that?
The deeper a customer's desire for a solution, and the more painful the problem, the more likely they'll continue using your product.
Customers who “just wanted to try it out” will result in a lower CLV, and less profit for your business—guaranteed!

Because they:
Simply ask customers after the purchase, what they look to achieve with the product.
Cluster and segment by purchase motivation.
Sort by number of orders and analyze profit (CLV) by segment.
The best way to improve profit & CLV is to acquire higher-quality customers.
Purchase motivation is an easy way to find out which customer segment drives the highest profits (CLV) for your business.
