Business Levers

Hey Friends, Quick question as I think it is important to pick everyone's brains here. If you look at a company focused on offering social media and customer engagement services, from a strategic standpoint, how would you look at some of the business levers/drivers for the company? From an operating standpoint, as marketing expense is to SaaS for new markets, how would you view the equivalent of CAC and ARPU to this type of business?
