Zuchlinski avoids scaling profitable marketing channels to prevent hiring staff
“When we find a profitable channel, I don't add more money into there. Just cause I said, I don't actually like hiring people that keeps me happy, keeps our team small, reduces communication overhead and keeps our customers happy too”
85% of Acuity Scheduling active users are on paid subscription plans
“About 85% of our active users are actually on paid accounts. And only 15% on free ones.”
Zuchlinski keeps his team small primarily for his own enjoyment
“I think that it has all sorts of secondary benefits to when you keep things small, but the primary one is making it easy and manageable and enjoyable for myself.”
Acuity Scheduling monthly gross customer churn is roughly 8%
“Gross customer churn is about eight percent per month.”
Zuchlinski targets a one-month CAC payback period for marketing channels
“I, when I'm looking at a channel, if it's successful, I like to earn it back within a month.”
Acuity Scheduling has been profitable since its very first day
“Acuity had been profitable since day one”
Acuity Scheduling active users and revenue are growing 10% month-over-month
“So right now we're at about a 10% month over month increase in all of that.”
90% of Acuity Scheduling's growth comes organically or through referrals
“Probably about 90% of our growth either comes through referrals or it's through just organic results or something along those lines.”
Acuity Scheduling spent $40,000 on paid marketing experiments in August 2016
“I think last month it was about 40,000 dollars.”
Zuchlinski is the sole owner of bootstrapped Acuity Scheduling
“So just me as the owner of the company.”
Acuity Scheduling was originally built for founder's mother, a massage therapist
“It was actually originally developed for my mom. She's a massage therapist way back in the day. And I saw her going back and forth trying to just schedule clients, reschedule, and all of that, so I had built this for her”
Zuchlinski gained Acuity's first paying user in one week via SEO
“During the first year I did zero marketing and within the only that I really did was a little bit of SEO and within a week somebody had signed up and actually paid me.”
Acuity Scheduling's subscription plans max out at $34 per month
“We have a couple of plans, and they're all pretty darn cheap. Starting from free, and then the very max is 34 dollars per month.”
