Using Data to Fuel Your Rental Business Growth
Data is a powerful tool that can help you accelerate your rental business growth. Booqable provides the data insights you need to make informed decisions and unlock new opportunities. This guide will show you how to use data for strategic business decisions and drive growth.
Analyzing Essential Metrics
1. **Revenue and Bookings:** Track your overall revenue and booking volume to understand your business performance. Analyze trends over time to identify periods of high and low demand and assess the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
2. **Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC):** Calculate how much it costs to acquire a new customer. Analyze your marketing channels to understand which are most effective in driving new business.
3. **Average Booking Value (ABV):** Determine the average revenue generated by each booking. This metric can help you identify opportunities to increase pricing or bundle products to boost your ABV.
4. **Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV):** Calculate the total revenue generated by each customer over their relationship with your business. Focus on building loyalty and encouraging repeat bookings to increase CLTV.
