month Gross margin = 90%
LTV = $540-810CAC > LTV
$1,000 > $810
LTV – Weibo Management
LTV = expected life x average revenue x gross margin Full-service social media agency Expected life = 2 years Average revenue per customer over expected life =
$17,840 Months 1-2 = $2,000 per month (basic) Months 3-4 =$4,000 per month (advanced) x 50%
retention = $2,000 Months 5-6 = $6,000 per month (pro) x 25% retention =
$1,500 Months 6-12 = $6,000 per month x 10% retention =
$540 Months 12-24 = $6,000 per month x 5% retention =
$300 Gross margin = 50% LTV = $8,920
LTV > CAC$8,920 > $1,000More Lucrative!
Conclusion
1. Not a venture backed business.2. Small and medium size businesses are
not yet ready to adopt Chinese social media marketing strategies.
3. Our sales cycle includes educating the customers about the importance of Chinese social media marketing.
Is this a viable lifestyle business?
