Business launch campaign service in Kenya: Pricing, Costing and Cash Flow Example
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Use one accepted sale unit throughout
Work through a fictional KSh 5,500.00 invoice against KSh 3,675.00 of selected cost lines; distinguish the invoice from collected cash.
This is a planning reference for business launch campaign service. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional launch campaign LCH-35 supports a new tailoring shop with one launch information sheet, six social assets, two owner-sent message drafts and a seven-day publication plan. A sample offer says 'Bring your alteration request for an assessment; staff confirm feasibility, completion date and price before accepting the garment.' Opening date, real location and approved offers are checked before use. Influencer contracting, ad buying, mass unsolicited messages, opening-event coordination and a promise of revenue are excluded.
Charging basis to confirm: launch project. The rates and quantities below are teaching assumptions. Even a previously recorded listing is not adopted here as a current quotation or an earnings forecast.
Itemised arithmetic
| Selected input/activity | Quantity | Assumed unit rate | Selected cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Campaign brief hours | 2 | KSh 450.00 | KSh 900.00 |
| Six assets/two messages hours | 5 | KSh 450.00 | KSh 2,250.00 |
| Week review hours | 1.5 | KSh 350.00 | KSh 525.00 |
| Calculation | Teaching result |
|---|---|
| Selected cost total | KSh 3,675.00 |
| Priced/accepted output | 1 example units |
| Assumed selling price | KSh 5,500.00 |
| Assumed invoice | KSh 5,500.00 |
| Difference before excluded costs and tax | KSh 1,825.00 |
Assumed cost is 900 + 2,250 + 525 = 3,675. An illustrative 5,500 campaign fee yields 1,825 pre-tax planning surplus. Advertising, event decor, photography, printing, messaging fees and tax are excluded. Client garment revenue is not included. If the shop postpones opening, agree the cost of redating assets and extending support; do not absorb an undefined extra launch month into the original scope.
Check cash timing and a weaker outcome
TRAINING-0535: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 1 priced units at KSh 5,500.00 each. Buyer group: Owners with a ready product and launch date. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 1 x KSh 5,500.00 = KSh 5,500.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 3,675.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 1,825.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 1,650.00. The invoice balance is KSh 3,850.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 2,025.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
On full collection, total receipts are KSh 5,500.00. Cash against the selected example bill is KSh 1,825.00 before other payments. If a hypothetical 10% increase in the largest selected line (Six assets/two messages hours) adds KSh 225.00, the unchanged invoice leaves KSh 1,600.00 against that revised bill.
If the customer instead leaves 10% of the invoice unpaid, KSh 550.00 is a receivable. Cash collected is KSh 4,950.00 and collected cash less the selected bill is KSh 1,275.00. This differs from invoice margin; do not spend the unpaid amount as though it is already cash.
The scenario is complete only as a teaching record of the stated lines. Add actual excluded startup and operating costs using file 12, and replace every assumed rate before relying on a quote. Use measured accepted output for the actual invoice; unaccepted output is not automatically chargeable.
For an actual quote, add all relevant excluded costs, use measured accepted output, and compare amounts from the same period. An unpaid invoice balance is not available cash. A deposit held for an uncompleted obligation is not automatically earned income.
