KPI dashboard, test backlog, scale/pause rules and 90-day plan.

Excerpt

A look at your working materials.

Real spreads from the playbook: the illustration on the left, principle, example, limit and a concrete next step on the right. In between, you work on your own store with checklists, calculators and templates.

Three original double-page spreads you can enlarge. Tap or click a page to open it in full resolution.

Pages 06–07 · Chapter 01 · Fit, products and economics

Know what a customer can cost.

A good campaign starts with a sustainable economic limit.

Economics before spend.

The principle: Before you buy reach, you determine the maximum price for a new customer. Product selection, pilot budget and a clear limit for potential learning loss follow from that.
The limit: A good score doesn't replace a known margin. An expected repeat purchase doesn't replace a documented additional customer contribution.
Try it tomorrow: Choose three suitable categories. For each, calculate the contribution after variable costs and write down the most important open assumption.

Pages 16–17 · Chapter 02 · Intent and campaigns

Hear the problem behind the product.

People describe situations. Your structure has to preserve those differences.

Intent gives the selection a direction.

The principle: Translate real purchase problems into a few distinguishable intent clusters. Connect each cluster with fitting products, a landing page and a testable hypothesis.
The limit: Context Hints provide context. They are no guarantee for a specific keyword, a specific prompt or a particular placement.
Try it tomorrow: Write down five customer situations with a goal and a constraint. For each, check which products actually meet the need.

Pages 48–49 · Chapter 05 · Tests, budget and scaling

Let one change give an answer.

A useful test starts with a question that can be answered.

Learn before scaling aggressively.

The principle: Define the hypothesis, primary metric, relevant improvement, duration and stop limits before the start. Keep the comparison as simple as possible.
The limit: An early spike is not a winner. With too few purchases, the result stays open. Technical errors or wrong prices, on the other hand, get fixed immediately.
Try it tomorrow: Pick a question from the backlog. Write down which observation would change your next budget decision.

Worksheet · Page 14

Your max CAC calculator.

Calculate per new customer's first order first. All values net and per order; the AOV after discounts already applied. Variable costs come off net revenue, then the contribution that should be left after marketing. What remains is the maximum price for a new customer.

AOV / net revenue
– cost of goods, fulfillment, payment, variable shipping costs
– expected return costs, additional discounts / incentives
= contribution margin before marketing
– desired contribution after marketing
= maximum first-order CAC
+ documented additional LTV contribution
= strategically sustainable CAC

Before releasing budget

Run the numbers with your own data before you release budget.

Derive an additional LTV contribution only from observed cohorts and a named period. Without reliable repeat-purchase data, it stays €0. Future revenue is not today's cash flow.
