Appendix
Conversion Rate:
2 universities (NAFA and Lasalle College of the Arts) → 5000 students
10% conversion rate → assuming 500 students across 2 universities → 250
students per university sign up
Goal: 50% of 250 students → 125 students per university to submit one brief
→ 250 new designers
25% of students who signed up will stay with ReFUEL4 for at least one year
→ 62 students

ROI
299 program = 15 images per month
(assume 30% of clients use this)
599 program = 31 images per month
(assume 50% of clients use this)
999 program = 53 images per month
(assume 20% of clients use this)
500 designers acquired per year = 42
designers per month
42x8 (briefs per month) = 336 briefs in total
per month
336 x 0.5 = 168/31 = 6 clients
336 x 0.3 = 100/15 = 7 clients
336 x 0.2 = 67/53 = 2 clients
Therefore, total revenue:
6x599 + 7x299 + 2x299 = $7,685 revenue per month
Total costs = $12,200 per year or $1,017 per month
Gain = 7,685 – 1017 = $6,668 per month
ROI = 6668 – 1017/1017= 5.4
