This is essentially the amount a customer spends per order. A business can calculate this by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.optimizely.com\/optimization-glossary\/average-order-value\/\"> dividing total revenue by the number of orders placed<\/a> during that period.<\/h3>\n<p>Communities typically have less influence over the AOV than over frequency or retention. However, a community might encourage members to upgrade or buy more of an item when they do make a purchase. An organization could also use community data to highlight other products they might be interested in to increase the average order value. This is often common in SaaS products and impulse purchases.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"tweet\">\r\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=A+community+might+encourage+members+to+upgrade+or+buy+more+of+an+item+when+they+do+make+a+purchase&amp;url=https:\/\/www.feverbee.com\/roi\/calculating-average-order-value\/\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n\t\t<h3>A community might encourage members to upgrade or buy more of an item when they do make a purchase<\/h3>\r\n\t\t<span class=\"tweetButton\">&nbsp;<\/span><p class=\"tweetLink\">Click to Tweet<\/p>\r\n\t<\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for us, the average order value can be calculated using the same methodology as above.
