Objective
The objective of this project was to calculate and monitor return on investment (ROI) using monthly subscription and transaction data. The solution involved collecting, cleaning and integrating subscription records with customer transaction data to create a comprehensive financial view of customer activity across multiple affiliate partnerships.
Solution
Key activities included analyzing recurring revenue streams, tracking customers from different affiliate sources, countries and flows, calculating acquisition costs and operational costs (bank fees, VAT, processor fees, refund fees) and developing ROI metrics at multiple business levels. Subscriptions served as the foundation of the analysis, with all subsequent transactions mapped back to each customer's initial subscription date. This approach enabled cohort based ROI reporting, allowing stakeholders and sales managers to evaluate the long term value and profitability of customers acquired during specific periods, campaigns or affiliate partnerships. Data processing and reporting workflows were implemented to automate calculations and provide timely insights.
ROI Calculation
Return on investment (ROI) was used to measure the profitability of campaigns and business activities by comparing generated earnings against the associated costs. Earnings included all subscription related revenue generated by a customer cohort and costs included acquisition expenses associated with those subscriptions. This metric enabled stakeholders to evaluate performance across different products, channels, and time periods using a consistent methodology.
ROI = ((Earnings − Cost) / Cost) × 100
Results
The reporting framework provided flexible analysis across multiple dimensions, including affiliate partners, websites, countries, subscription pricing tiers, and customer segments. Managers and data analysts could analyze performance through daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly views, enabling both operational monitoring and long term trend analysis. The final solution enabled stakeholders to identify the most profitable acquisition channels, affiliate and customer segments, optimize marketing investments, improve retention strategies, and make decisions that maximized revenue and overall ROI.
