  1. 01

    Challenge

    Media was buying first orders as if they were a business. Repeat, contribution and payback were being ignored in the weekly meeting.

  2. 02

    What we saw

    ROAS on a first purchase can look heroic while the company is destroying value. Lifetime is the adult conversation.

  3. 03

    Plan

    Creative and offers designed for the second purchase. CRM as the retention product. Paid governed by payback, not by a 7-day pixel.

  4. 04

    What changed

    The weekly meeting started with payback. First-order ROAS stopped being a victory lap.

  5. 05

    Result

    Not disclosed.

Objective
Rebuild acquisition around LTV:CAC and payback. First order is a cost of learning. The second order is the business.
Audience
Not shared

What we did

  • LTV and payback as the operating ratio
  • Creative and offers for repeat, not only first order
  • CRM lifecycle and replenishment
  • Paid structured by contribution after returns
  • Weekly meeting that starts with the ratio
