A key performance metric that measures the average dollar amount a customer spends per transaction within a given period. It’s calculated by dividing total revenue by the total number of transactions. Businesses use ATV to understand purchasing behavior and identify opportunities to increase revenue through tactics like upselling, cross-selling, and bundling.
For example, if a retailer generates $100,000 from 2,000 transactions in a month, the ATV would be $50. By tracking ATV over time, businesses can evaluate the effectiveness of pricing strategies, promotional campaigns, and sales team performance. A rising ATV may indicate successful marketing or product mix optimization, while a declining ATV might signal issues such as pricing sensitivity or decreased consumer confidence.
This metric is fundamental in retail, e-commerce, hospitality, and service industries, where maximizing revenue per customer interaction is critical for profitability.
