To measure Life Time Value (LTV) in Mixpanel, you can use the Revenue Analytics features. LTV is calculated as the cumulative spend from users since they landed on your platform. In Mixpanel, this is often analyzed by looking at the spending of new users (identified by a "Sign Up" event) by cohort over their lifetime (e.g., 5 days, 30 days, 60 days). The Retention report’s Property Sum feature allows you to view the cumulative revenue of retained users over time.**Steps to measure LTV in Mixpanel:**1. Identify the "Sign Up" event to define new users. 2. Use the Retention report with the Property Sum feature to track cumulative revenue for each user cohort over their lifetime. 3. Analyze LTV by cohort (e.g., D30, D60) to see how much revenue users generate over specific periods. 4. Optionally, segment by acquisition channel or other properties to compare LTV across different user groups.Mixpanel provides demo projects and templates to help you set up these reports quickly.
