Identifying these pinch points (where potential earnings are lost) and causes for the drop-offs will generate ideas for fixing up the revenue leaks.
2. Customer Segmentation
Customers can be segmented by measuring the level of user’s engagement an ARPU (Average Revenue per User). Customers can also grouped based on age, location, source of acquisition, products/service they use the most. Measuring the revenue from each of these customer groups will provide good insights on which customer segment you should increase your focus on.
