ON TRACK
  • Efficiency is improving as you scale. 1,385 leads at a $3.42 blended cost per lead sits right on the $3.40 category median. CPL fell from $3.56 to $3.33 across the week as the top creatives took over budget.
  • SMS is your launch-hour ignition list. Dual opt-ins are 35.4% of the list. SMS opens at ~95% vs email's ~30%, so these 490 leads carry most of your first-hour conversion. Lifting this above 40% would measurably raise day-one velocity.
  • You're pacing past goal. Projected launch raise of ~$17K puts you at ~112% of the $15K goal, with ~90% of list-driven pledges landing in the first 48 hours — enough velocity to trip Kickstarter's Trending algorithm and stack organic backers on top.
Recommended action Shift budget from “Lifestyle Carousel” ($4.90 CPL, 1.1% CTR) into “Problem/Solution UGC” — your cheapest, highest-intent source at $2.71 CPL and 3.1% CTR. Est. +90 leads this week at the same spend.

Capture method · share of total list

Email 1,385 · 100%
SMS 490 · 35.4% of list
Every SMS opt-in also gave an email, so email is the full list (100%) and SMS is the share who also texted-in — not an additional segment. Dual opt-ins are your highest-reach launch-day cohort.

Blended CPL$3.36
Why: CPL is ~2% under the $3.40 category benchmark and falling ($3.56 → $3.33), so there's room to scale ~20% while staying inside the learning-phase-safe increment. Guardrail: hold at current spend if CPL crosses $4.00.
