Here's the model. Inputs are blue, every number is sourced, and the risks are on page one.
PAGE ONE: WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY
- Each subscriber makes $15.80 a month after food, shipping and card fees.
- At your current 8% monthly churn, that's $197.50 per subscriber over their lifetime, against $85 to acquire them. 2.3x. Fine, not great.
- Payback on ad spend is 5.4 months.
THE RISKS
- Churn. 8% is your 14-month average, but the last 3 months were 9.5%. At 11%, lifetime value falls to $143.60 and LTV to CAC drops to 1.7x.
- Ad costs. CAC has risen from $62 to $85 in a year. Another $30 rise and payback passes 7 months.
- Food costs. A 10% rise in ingredients takes $1.60 off every box.
