Model Formula

  • Orders = monthly visits 10.8M × conversion rate 2.7%
  • Sales = orders 291K × AOV $92
  • Ad spend = sales × 16.0%, about $4.3M
  • ROI = (gross margin 68.0% - ad spend) / ad spend, about 325%

Operating Meaning

  • Size and shade systems are core conversion assets
  • Celebrity influence must translate into repeat purchase of essentials
  • Sold-out sizes need strong waitlists and restock recovery
