Before scaling spend
Revenue = Traffic × CVR × AOV × Frequency
the four levers of D2C growth — optimize in this exact order
1% improvement in each = 4% revenue growth. 5% in each = 21.5% growth.
1. CRO (Conversion Rate) — 2-4 weeks
Easiest long-term wins — no extra traffic cost. 1→2% CVR doubles revenue. Not a quick fix for hitting ₹1L in 2 days.
2. AOV (Average Order Value) — 1-2 weeks
More revenue per customer. Bundles, upsells, free shipping thresholds. Quick to implement but needs existing traffic.
3. Retention — 30-60 days
5-7x cheaper than acquisition. Email, WhatsApp, loyalty, referrals. Too slow to move the needle before Day 90.
4. Traffic — immediate
If ROAS > break-even, scale traffic today to hit ₹1L. Don't wait for perfect CRO. Scale what works, optimize while it runs.
