Acquire Customers
Seasonal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost produces each month’s new customers.
This editable Excel and Google Sheets workbook models a five-year Poolside Cinema Experience forecast using customer cohorts, billable hours, hourly rates, and linked financial reports.
Use the model to plan a Poolside Cinema Experience business from customer acquisition through active service cohorts, billable work, revenue, costs, staffing, capital needs, and financial results.
Editable acquisition, cohort, billing, cost, staffing, and capital assumptions flow into the five-year forecast, scenario comparisons, statements, and dashboard reporting.
The model converts marketing spend into new customers, allocates them across retained service cohorts, calculates monthly billable hours, and applies each tier’s hourly rate.
Seasonal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost produces each month’s new customers.
New customers are allocated across service tiers using editable tier percentages.
Starting customers plus all unexpired customer cohorts form active customers by tier.
Active customers multiply by average billable hours per active customer each month.
Billable hours multiply by hourly rates, and total revenue sums across tiers and months.
The Revenue Assumptions sheet organizes launch timing, customer acquisition, tier allocation, cohort lifetime, monthly billable hours, and hourly pricing in one operating schedule.

I’m not strong in Excel, and this template made the heavy modeling parts easier to follow. I saved a few hours just getting the tabs set up and could finally work through the numbers without feeling stuck.
The low, base, and high scenarios were laid out in a way that made planning much faster. I cut what used to be a half-day of rework into one clean review and had a clearer meeting with my partner.
I finally had a clear view of cash flow, runway, and possible shortfalls instead of guessing month to month. That made it easier to plan funding timing and walk into lender conversations with a better picture.
