Average Order Value (AOV)

Average order value (AOV) is the same metric as average order value, expressed as a widely used abbreviation. It is calculated by dividing total revenue by the number of transactions over a period of time.

AOV is often used alongside metrics like conversion rate and customer lifetime value to measure overall performance. For example, increasing AOV from $50 to $60 through targeted upsells can significantly lift revenue without requiring new customers.
