About this course
In this course you run the numbers of a fictional print-on-demand shop that never holds stock. You look up base costs by product and size and add print-area surcharges, price shipping by zone with first-item and additional-item rates, and spread payment fees and monthly tools over every order. You turn CPM, click-through and conversion rates into a cost per purchase and a break-even ROAS, measure refunds, reprints and disputes per cause, promise delivery dates with WORKDAY, score print partners with SUMPRODUCT and close the month with a product P&L, bundles, break-even orders and a chart.
