# The Recurring Revenue Model

Skin Type PRO is designed to generate revenue not just from a single visit - but over time.

Each patient represents an ongoing opportunity for product purchases as they follow their skincare routine.

***

### How It Works

Every patient follows the same lifecycle:

1. Takes the Skin Type Quiz
2. Receives a personalized routine
3. Purchases products
4. Uses the routine consistently
5. Reorders products as needed

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 This cycle repeats over time, creating recurring revenue.
{% endhint %}

***

### Why Skincare Naturally Repeats

Unlike one-time treatments, skincare products are used daily.

This means:

* Products run out
* Patients need replacements
* Routines continue over time

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 Consistent use leads to consistent purchasing.
{% endhint %}

***

### The Power of One Patient

A single patient can generate multiple purchases over time.

***

#### Typical Lifecycle

* Initial routine purchase
* Refill within 30–60 days
* Ongoing replenishment
* Adjustments or upgrades

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 Over time, each patient becomes a long-term revenue source.
{% endhint %}

***

### What Drives Recurring Revenue

There are three key drivers:

***

#### 1. Personalized Routines

Patients are more likely to follow routines designed specifically for their skin.

***

#### 2. Consistent Usage

Daily use leads to predictable product depletion and reordering.

***

#### 3. Easy Reordering

A simple checkout experience increases repeat purchases.

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 Skin Type PRO is built to support all three.
{% endhint %}

***

### How to Maximize Long-Term Value

To increase recurring revenue:

***

#### Encourage Full Routine Adoption

Complete regimens lead to better results and more reorders.

***

#### Reinforce Consistency

Set expectations that skincare requires ongoing use.

***

#### Use Online Checkout

Make it easy for patients to reorder anytime.

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 Small improvements in consistency can significantly increase long-term revenue.
{% endhint %}

***

### The Big Picture

Instead of thinking in terms of one-time sales, think in terms of patient lifetime value.

***

#### Traditional Approach

* One visit
* One purchase
* Limited follow-up

***

#### Skin Type PRO Approach

* One patient
* Multiple purchases over time
* Ongoing relationship

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 This is how you build predictable, scalable revenue.
{% endhint %}

***

### The Takeaway

Every patient is not just a transaction - they are a recurring revenue opportunity.

***

#### The Winning Model

* Diagnose accurately
* Deliver a complete routine
* Encourage consistent use
* Make reordering simple

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 When this system is followed, revenue grows naturally over time.
