“Anyone in retail and eCommerce right now feels that weight of we've got to get the customer to convert for the first time. We have to think about cost of acquisition. We have to think about it from an advertising perspective. We have to think about it from a discounting perspective and, ultimately, long-term, what is this customer going to be worth to us? What is this customer's LTV? Maybe guessing what that might be for two years. We were guessing before and now you don't have to guess.” – Jennifer Peters
