Growth & Revenue

Expansion plays — execution details in operator documentation

01
Launch 5 additional occasions for year-round revenue
Platform is occasion-agnostic — swap Santa for any character. Add Birthday (year-round, largest TAM), Valentine's (Feb), Easter (Apr), Graduation (May-Jun), Halloween (Oct). Each occasion: new HeyGen avatar ($500-$1,000), new ad creative, new affiliate outreach. Birthday alone = 365-day revenue window vs. 45-day Christmas window.
