Thanks for sharing this Adi. If you had 100 as your budget , how would you split it up between the acquisition , conversion and cross sell .... Would that depend on the business priorities or is there a rule of thumb that you follow.

Thank you for this clear, practical framework, Adi. On the variable of basket-size, I think it’s useful to specifically call out “trade-up”; i.e. converting the particular purchase occasion to the higher value per use / better performing / better profitability solution of the same brand => something we learnt from Gillette blades, and relentlessly implemented on Finish tabs/caps, Durex condoms, Vanish stain removers, etc.

Another call out for me is that, over the long run, out of all the variables here, the “traffic / penetration” is ”the first among equals”: Unless one has a strong penetration base, there is not much leverage to be had through pulling other levers, as +300% growth over a “limited” base is still “limited”.

Anyway, my quick reaction to the very useful framework you architected here. Cheers, again.

Very interesting Adi, thanks. How would this apply to the service (instead of product) business? And/or to the B2B (instead of the B2C) model?
