Description
The percentage increase in the overall customer base within a specific time frame, indicating the platform's ability to attract and retain customers over time.
Why it is important
The customer base growth rate is crucial for assessing the platform's capacity to attract and retain customers over time.

Monitoring this metric provides insights into market penetration, retention strategies, and scalability, guiding businesses in adapting efforts for sustained growth and long-term success, ultimately influencing overall revenue trends.
Formula
((Number of Customers at the End of Time Frame - Number of Customers at the Beginning of Time Frame) / Number of Customers at the Beginning of Time Frame) * 100
Calculation example
If there were 500 customers at the beginning of the year and 700 customers at the end,

Customer Base Growth Rate = ((700−500)/500) × 100 = 40%
