Monday morning, one screen.
Mom-creator partnerships are producing donors at a $28 CAC — 41% under the blended target. Three of five pilot creators are above expectations. Recommend scaling spend +50% next sprint.
60-day retention is 1.6pp below the goal. The drop is concentrated in the Brand Partner segment — their second-gift behavior is weakening. Worth a 30-min meeting this week.
Approve $40k Q3 budget for the Parents of Girls audience test? Mom-creator pilots are above forecast. Go or no-go by Friday to hit the planned mid-Q3 launch.
From impression to first gift.
