TacPack
One creator, one sponsored placement, and a subscription that keeps renewing. This is the case for buying a customer once and getting paid on them all year.

What the placement cost
03 · The math
Buy the customer once. Get paid all year.
From our hero creator, TacPack booked 66 first orders off a $1,250 placement. That alone lands the campaign at roughly break-even to 2x in the first month.
The real story is what happens next. TacPack is a subscription, so those first buyers do not churn out, they renew. Across the year, that one creator’s 66 customers are worth about $10,000 in tracked revenue, which is roughly 8x the placement cost by the time the subscriptions mature. People do not return the box, they keep it, and they stay.
Month one
