Formula & Calculation Method
Influencer Campaign Equations:
- Link Clicks: Views à (CTR / 100)
- Product Sales: Link Clicks à (Conversion Rate / 100)
- Immediate Revenue: Sales à Average Order Value
- Lifetime Revenue: Sales à Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)
- Immediate Campaign ROI: (Immediate Revenue - Sponsor Cost) / Sponsor Cost à 100%
- Lifetime Campaign ROI: (Lifetime Revenue - Sponsor Cost) / Sponsor Cost à 100%
Example Calculation
Example: Sponsoring a YouTube video for $2,000, expecting 50,000 views, 1.5% CTR, 2.5% conversion, $60 product price, and $150 customer LTV.
- Clicks: 50,000 Ã 1.5% = 750 clicks
- Sales: 750 Ã 2.5% = 18.75 sales
- Revenue (Immediate): 18.75 Ã $60 = $1,125.00 (Immediate ROI = -43.8%)
- Revenue (Lifetime LTV): 18.75 Ã $150 = $2,812.50 (Lifetime ROI = +40.6%)
- Acquisition Cost: CPC = $2.67, CPA (CAC) = $106.67.
