that support customer acquisition
(content campaigns should be designed
strategically to warm up audience
for upcoming lead and further sales
campaign and as result decrease CAC)
⚬ Video scripting & production
(sending traffic to native videos on
Facebook/YouTube is relatively cheap,
distributes well and creates great target
group for further remarketing campaigns)

54. #1
Initial growth
was due to
affiliate/partner
traffic
For the first two years of
existence, Company X was
getting lots of inexpensive,
warmed up traffic from email
lists and social media campaigns
run by their powerful partners
56. #3
Poor content
marketing and
not very engaged
social audiences
Social media run by external
agency; blog run mostly for SEO
purposes; results of content were
not tracked and measured
59. Optimal:
LTV > 3 x CAC
Customer Lifetime Value
(how much client spends with
you over their lifetime)
Customer Acquisition Cost
(for simplicity we will measure it as
media spend plus sales commissions)
60. LTV < CAC LTV = CAC LTV > CAC
Start from general
STRATEGY optimisation
(price, persona, USP)
Start from playing with
funnel stuff :) (traffic
channels, content, sales
strategy)
Start from optimisation of
elements (onsite
optimisation, ads testing)
61. This formula does not always apply. Like
when there are obvious technical issues or
when the person responsible to set
something up doesn’t know what the hell
they’re doing...
Watch out!

68. Tip #2
Look into elements of
strategy (persona, market)
to get ideas on how to optimise funnel
elements

Can we somehow limit

the more important it is to put

Persona is not looking for this kind of product, they are only exploring
ideas — driving cold traffic straight to leadpages or product pages is hard
and might not allow us to scale the campaign

1. Measure LTV to CAC first
(based on this define how you will be optimising
and if you SHOULD even be messing with the
funnel)
