The first companies made mostly physical products and therefore had physical channels to get their value proposition to the customer segments.
In mid 1920-ties intangible products were introduced (stocks, insurances) but were still sold through physical channels – “over a handshake”.

¤ Acquire: Get them to my site(webpage/app/cloud app).
¤ Activate: Sign up, register, become a user, pay – to engage and to get the customers to do what I offer (then I can make money).
BUT AT WHAT COST?
Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)CAC = cost of getting an activated/paying customer.
I pay 50 cents per click on Google (as advertisement).
I get 10 000 clicks.
Of these, 5 % take the limited free trial and sign up to start use the service.
Of the free trial, 10 % continue using my service (they pay).
September 22, 2016
36
WhatismyCAC?
A. 10€
B. 50€
C. 100€
D. 150€
CAC
10 000 clicks for a cost of 50 cents each = 5 000 €
5% taking the free trial = 500 users
10 % actually paying after free trial = 50 persons
CAC = 5000 € / 50 = 100 €.

Life Time Value (LTV)
¤ Life Time Value = how much will the customer spend on my product/service from the beginning to the end (within a specified time period)?
¤ CAC = Customer Acquisition Cost

Why Partner Up?
Optimization and Economies of Scale
¤ Striking the right balance/trade-off between fully own everything and fully buying everything from a marketplace.

Why Partner Up?
Reduction of Risk and Uncertainty
¤ Secure (less risk and uncertainty) supply to your operations with key partners
¤ Collaboration on certain aspects such as standards, will reduce risk of “product failure”
¤ Beta, VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray – partnership reduced risk in the competitive market but each player sells their own Bly-Ray products.

67
Why Partner Up?
Partnering up for Resources and Activities
¤ Extending what you need to other “performers” or relying on others to “help” you.¤ Insurance company relies/uses independent insurance
brokers to sell its policies as opposed to developing their own sales force.
¤ Rely on others “to give” the resources they need.¤ Mobile phone manufacturer relies on another company
(license) for the operative system for the smart phones.
