Even at 100% conversion, we wouldn't have made enough money to make the service actually WORTH pursuing long term, but that wasn't the goal.
NavHere's losses were a budgetary rounding error across my larger organization, and it did provide us customers that actually USED the system.
It was never meant to be a profit center or a loss leader, but I had hoped from the start it would cover the cost to run it.
It lost a total of around $1200/year, and that money would have just gone toward some other random business expense anyway that wouldn't have captured customers.
All in all I'd say it was a worthy loss, just not one I want to continue maintaining.
