Episode notes
Cheap CAC Often Means Low LTV
- Lowering CAC obsessively often attracts low-LTV, coupon-driven buyers who hurt retention.
- Increasing allowable CAC can bring higher-AOV, more loyal customers and improve long-term retention.
Segment By Propensity And Cadence
- Segment customers by purchase propensity and engagement and tailor cadence accordingly (daily for high intent, monthly for dormant).
- Reengage dormant lists monthly to compound small conversion rates into significant revenue over time.
Email Lapsed Customers Monthly
- Email lapsed customers at least once a month; low open rates still return meaningful sales without wrecking deliverability.
- Consistent minimal outreach converted large portions of revenue from previously ignored segments.
